CD15 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 786, Clone: HI98, BD

Description

• The HI98 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine (3-FAL), a 220 kDa carbohydrate structure, also called X-hapten, SSEA-1, CD15 or Lewis X
• This structure is found on a variety of cell surface glycolipids and glycoproteins
• 3-FAL is expressed on >95% of granulocytes, including neutrophils and eosinophils, and to a varying degree on monocytes, but not on lymphocytes or basophils
• CD15 plays a role in mediating phagocytosis, bactericidal activity and chemotaxis
• This antibody is also suitable for staining formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections without pretreatment
• Since the Abs are recognizing a carbohydrate epitope (3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine) they also should work across species and not only for human
• 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).
