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.

Companion Products
The VIM3b monoclonal antibody recognizes CD97. CD97 is a seven-span transmembrane protein that belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. CD97 is encoded by ADGRE5 (adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E5). CD97 is highly expressed on monocytes and granulocytes. It is also expressed on dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, NK cells, and smooth muscle cells. CD97 expression is upregulated on activated T cells. CD97 is also expressed on several cell lines including HL-60, THP-1, and K562. CD97 reportedly plays roles in leucocyte signaling, adhesion, and migration. The VIM3b antibody works in Western blotting and immunoprecipitation. The antibody recognizes proteins of 74, 80 and 89 kDa. CD55 and chondroitin sulfate are ligands for CD97.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.
