      PE-CF594 Rat Anti-Blimp-1
      PE-CF594 Rat Anti-Blimp-1
      Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of Blimp-1 expression in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human PBMCs were stained in BD Horizon™ Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794) with BV786 Mouse Anti-Human CD27 (Cat No. 563327) and BUV737 Mouse Anti-Human CD19 (Cat. No. 564303) antibodies and fixed and permeabilized with the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat No. 562574/562725). The cells were stained with BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 Rat Anti-Blimp-1 antibody (Cat. No. 565274). The two-color contour plot (Left Panel) showing the correlated expression of CD27 versus CD19 was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Histograms (Right Panel) showing Blimp-1 expression for B cell subsets were derived from CD27 versus CD19 gated events as indicated. Flow cytometric analysis was performed with a BD LSRFortessa™ Flow Cytometer System.

      Preparation And Storage

      Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE-CF594 were removed. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

      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).

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
      3. 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.
      4. 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.
      5. When excited by the yellow-green (561-nm) laser, the fluorescence may be brighter than when excited by the blue (488-nm) laser.

      6D3

      The 6D3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp-1) and crossreacts with human BLIMP-1. Blimp-1 is a 98 kDa zinc finger-containing protein that is encoded by the Prdm1 gene. Blimp-1 was first discovered as a transcriptional repressor of the IFN-β promoter. Blimp-1 is critical for primordial germ cells specification in the early embryo and induction of terminal cell differentiation in multiple somatic cell types. It is largely known as a master regulator of antibody-secreting plasma cells due to its function in the repression of PAX5, CIITA and cMYC genes. Blimp-1 also controls T cell homeostasis and effector differentiation through different mechanisms, including repression of IL-17 producing cells.  Blimp-1 also plays roles in the maturation and activity of dendritic cells and natural killer cells.

      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).

      PE-CF594
      BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 dye is a part of the BD PE family of dyes. This tandem fluorochrome is comprised of a R-Phycoerythrin (PE) donor that has excitation maxima (Ex Max) of 496-nm and 566-nm and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum (Em Max) at 615-nm. PE-CF594, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the blue (488-nm), Green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 615 nm (e.g., a 610/20-nm bandpass filter). The donor dye can be excited by the Blue (488-nm), Green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and the acceptor dye can be excited by the green (532-nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
