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 (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) 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
- This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
- The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- 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.

The 5H4 antibody monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD122. CD122 is a 70-85 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the hematopoietin receptor superfamily. CD122 is also known as IL-2 Receptor beta chain (IL-2Rβ) or IL-15 Receptor beta chain (IL-15Rβ) as it helps form signaling receptor complexes for Interleukin-2 (IL-2) or IL-15, respectively. CD122 can combine with either CD132 (γc) alone or CD132 plus CD25 (IL-2Rα) to form intermediate or high-affinity IL-2 Receptor complexes, respectively. The IL-2R β chain is constitutively expressed on NK cells and at lower levels on some thymocytes, T cells, B cells, monocytes, and macrophages. IL-2R β chain expression is upregulated by IL-2. The immunogen used to generate this hybridoma was rat myeloma cells transfected with a truncated IL-2R β cDNA. 5H4 does not block IL-2 binding to the IL-2 Receptor.
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 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 786-nm. BD Horizon BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60-nm filter).
