      Preparation And Storage

      Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.

      Recommended Assay Procedures

      BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

      Product Notices

      1. When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid fragments produced by ammonium chloride-based lysis, such as with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899), has been observed when the antibody conjugate was present during the lysis procedure. This may cause nonspecific staining of target cells, such as leukocytes, which have bound the resulting erythroid fragments. This background can be mitigated by any of the following: titrating the antibody conjugate to a lower concentration, fixing samples with formaldehyde, or removing erythrocytes before staining (eg, gradient centrifugation or pre-lysis with wash). This background has not been observed when cells were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202) after staining.
      2. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
      3. 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.
      4. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
      5. 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.
      6. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
      7. 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.
      8. Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
      9. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
      10. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.

      LM34

      The pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) expressed during the early stages of B lymphocyte development is a heterodimer of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) with surrogate light chain, which is an Ig-light-chain-like molecule composed of the non-covalently linked CD179b (λ5) and CD179a (VpreB) proteins. The pre-BCR is believed to control IgH repertoire selection and proliferation of differentiating B lymphocytes. The LM34 antibody reacts with λ5 and surrogate light chain, but not VpreB alone, in transfected X63-Ag8.653 cells. It detects surrogate light chain on pro-B and pre-B cell lines, in the presence or absence of IgH, but not on IgM-positive B lymphocytes. It also detects surrogate light chain or λ5 on the surface and in the cytoplasm of pro-B or pre-B cells from the bone marrow of normal or RAG2-deficient mice. It has been noted that the (CD45R/B220) cell-surface expression of surrogate light chain is upregulated after a one-hour incubation of bone-marrow leukocytes in tissue culture medium at 37°C. At the earliest stages of B lymphopoiesis, before IgH is available, the surrogate light chain associates with a complex of glycoproteins, including a nonclassical cadherin, which could be involved in selective adhesion events during B-lymphocyte development.  After immunization, cell-surface λ5 is detected on a subset of splenic Ig light chain-positive germinal-center B lymphocytes.

      RB780
      The BD Horizon RealBlue™ 780 (RB780) Dye is part of the BD family of blue dyes. It is a tandem fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 498-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 781-nm. Driven by BD innovation, RB780 can be used on both spectral and conventional cytometers and is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) with minimal excitation by the 561-nm Yellow-Green laser. For conventional instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), RB780 can be used as an alternative to PE-Cy7 and we recommend using an optical filter centered near 780-nm (eg, a 780/60-nm bandpass filter). For spectral instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), it can be used in conjunction with PE-Cy7. RB780 is on average brighter than PE-Cy7 and has minimal spillover into Yellow-Green detectors.
