CD16/CD32 Rat anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 650, Clone: 2.4G2, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The 2.4G2 antibody specifically recognizes a common nonpolymorphic epitope on the extracellular domains of the mouse Fc γIII (CD16) and Fc γII (CD32) Receptors
• It has also been reported to bind the Fc γI receptor (CD64) via its Fc domain
• 2.4G2 mAb blocks non-antigen-specific binding of immunoglobulins to the Fc γIII and Fc γII, and possibly Fc γI, Receptors
• CD16 and/or CD32 are expressed on natural killer cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (at low levels), Kupffer cells, granulocytes, mast cells, B lymphocytes, immature thymocytes, and some activated mature T lymphocytes
• 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.
