CD45R Mouse Anti-Rat, Brilliant Violet 786, Clone: HIS24, BD Optibuild™

Description

The HIS24 antibody reacts with a developmentally regulated form of CD45 found on most B lymphocytes, including developing B cells in the bone marrow and peripheral B cells, but not plasma cells. The level of expression of this CD45R antigen appears to be an indicator of both maturational stages in the B-cell lineage and of functionally distinct B-cell subsets. The HIS24 mAb, in combination with other markers such as TdT and Ig expression, is effective in the identification of B-cell progenitors. CD45 is a member of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) family: Its intracellular (COOH-terminal) region contains two PTP catalytic domains, and the extracellular region is highly variable due to alternative splicing of exons 4, 5, and 6 (designated A, B, and C, respectively), plus differing levels of glycosylation. The CD45 isoforms detected in the rat are cell type-, maturation-, and activation state-specific. The CD45 isoforms play complex roles in T-cell and B-cell antigen receptor signal transduction.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV786 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 786nm. BD Horizon BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60nm filter). BV786 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 786 nm. BV786 offers a bright choice for the 6th detector off the violet laser.
