Clone HMFG2 (also known as HMFG-2, 3.14.A3 or F314AE11)
(RUO)
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 HMFG2 (Milk Fat Globule 2) monoclonal antibody, formerly known as clone 3.14.A3, specifically binds to Mucin-1 (MUC1) which is also known as CD227, Episialin, Breast carcinoma-associated antigen DF3, Cancer antigen 15-3, H23 antigen, Peanut reactive urinary protein (PUM), Polymorphic epithelial mucin (PEM), or Epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). MUC1 (CD227) is a heterodimeric cell surface glycoprotein that belongs to the epithelial mucin family. As a result of proteolytic cleavage, MUC1 (CD227) is comprised of a large, extracellular N-terminal alpha subunit that contains a domain of 20 amino-acid tandem repeats and functions in cellular adhesion. The smaller transmembrane C-terminal beta subunit contains a cytoplasmic domain that is involved in cell signaling. MUC1 (CD227) is variably expressed on the surfaces of normal and malignant glandular and ductal epithelial cells, myeloma cells, and some hematopoietic cell lineages including subsets of T cells, B cells, monocytes and dendritic cells. Soluble forms of MUC1 (CD227) may arise by shedding from the cell surface or by secretion of forms derived from alternative RNA splicing. MUC1 (CD227) plays roles in the provision of protective barrier function, the regulation of cellular adhesion and migration, and the transduction of multiple signal pathways. The HMFG2 antibody recognizes epitopes within the tandem repeat domain of MUC1 (CD227).
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV650 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 650-nm. BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor® 700 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
