Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

- When excited by the yellow-green (561-nm) laser, the fluorescence may be brighter than when excited by the blue (488-nm) laser.

- Because of the broad absorption spectrum of the tandem fluorochrome, extra care must be taken when using multi-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PE and CF™594.

The CNX46-3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD160, also known as Natural Killer Cell Receptor BY55. CD160 is a glycosyolphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane glycoprotein that contains a single Ig domain. This member of the Ig Superfamily was the first identified as a MHC Class I antigen-specific Ig-like Receptor that was expressed by mouse NK cells. As a receptor, CD160 can bind to classical and non-classical MHC class I molecules with low affinity. As a ligand, CD160 can bind to HVEM (Herpes Virus Entry Mediator, a TNF Receptor Family Member). CD160 is expressed on a subset of NK cells, NKT cells, activated CD8+ T cells and TCR γδ T cells. The functions of CD160 have been reported to regulate NK cell activation both positively and negatively, depending on stimulus.
This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ PE-CF594, which has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences as a better alternative to PE-Texas Red®. PE-CF594 excites and emits at similar wavelengths to PE-Texas Red® yet exhibits improved brightness and spectral characteristics. Due to PE having maximal absorption peaks at 496 nm and 564 nm, PE-CF594 can be excited by the blue (488-nm), green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and can be detected with the same filter set as PE-Texas Red® (eg 610/20-nm filter).
