CD1a Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 711, Clone: HI149, BD Optibuild™

Description

The HI149 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD1a. CD1a is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein. The 49 kDa CD1a polypeptide is associated with 2-microglobulin. CD1a is expressed on cortical thymocytes, dendritic cells and Langerhans cells. CD1a has structural similarities to the MHC class I antigen, and plays a role in antigen presentation.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 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 711nm. BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor™ 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination. BV711 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 711 nm. This dye offers a very bright choice for the violet laser. Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. BV711 will also have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet 786 detector.
