Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349).
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

The SK11 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD62L which is also known as, L-selectin, Leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (LECAM1/LECAM-1), Leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 (LAM1/LAM-1), Lymph node homing receptor (LNHR), Leu-8, or TQ1. CD62L is an ~80 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Selectin/LECAM family. CD62L is differentially expressed on T cells, B cells, monocytes, granulocytes, and a subset of NK cells. The CD62L molecule is the human homolog of the mouse lymph node homing receptor, MEL-14. CD62L plays a role in leucocyte binding to inflamed endothelium and extravasation, as well as mediating lymphocyte homing into peripheral lymphoid tissues through high endothelial postcapillary venules. Soluble CD62L can result from the proteolytic cleavage of cell surface CD62L during cellular activation or inflammation.
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 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 711-nm. 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, 712/20-nm 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.
