BAH-1 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 650, Clone: BAH-1 (also known as BAH1), BD Optibuild™

Description

The BAH-1 monoclonal antibody was raised against human megakaryocytic cells. It was originally proposed that clone BAH-1 was specific for human CD110, also known as c-Mpl or TPO-R. Data has emerged to suggest that BAH-1 antibody may not recognize CD110. However, there is strong evidence that it recognizes an antigen that is highly expressed on human Megakaryocyte-Erythroid Progenitor (MEP) cells. In combination with CD71, BAH-1 expression has been used to distinguish subsets of Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Myeloid Progenitors in human fetal liver, cord blood, and adult bone marrow. BAH-1 antibody can induce megakaryocytopoiesis of both mouse and human bone marrow cells in vitro.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV650 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 650nm. BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination. BV650 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 650 nm. Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors. BV650 will have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon™ BV711 detector.
