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 3D3 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes FcγRII (CD32), a 40 kDa, polymorphic type I transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a low affinity receptor for aggregated IgG. This highly glycosylated molecule (encoded by at least two different genes) is expressed on monocytes, granulocytes, platelets and B cells. Unlike the FLI28.26 mAb, the 3D3 mAb detected a polymorphic CD32 antigen expressed on B cells of all donors, but only on platelets, monocytes and granulocytes of some donors. The platelets from 3D3+ donors respond to certain stimulatory mAb such as CD165 (clone SN2) which results in aggregation. On the other hand, the platelets from 3D3 negative donors do not form aggregates after stimulation. Individuals can be divided into two groups as responder and non-responder depending on expression, or non-expression, of 3D3. In comparison to the 3D3 mAb, the FLI8.26 mAb detects a monomorphic CD32 antigen expressed on all human donors.
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).
