Granulocytes Mouse Anti-Rat, Brilliant Violet 421, Clone: RP-1, BD Optibuild™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 743053

Catalog No. BDB743053

Description

The RP-1 antibody reacts with rat peritoneal and peripheral blood neutrophils and bone marrow cells. It does not bind rat macrophages, rat eosinophils, or peritoneal neutrophils from mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, or human peripheral blood as determined by antibody adsorption experiments. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood leukocytes indicates that all granulocytes (cells having high side scatter), but not lymphocytes or monocytes (low side-scatter cells), express that antigen recognized by RP-1 mAb. Expression of the RP-1 antigen on rat peritoneal neutrophils is enhanced by stimulation with PMA or ConA. Immunoprecipitation of rat PMA-activated and non-treated neutrophil membranes with the RP-1 mAb produced two bands of approximately 85 kDa in m.w. However, the RP-1 antigen has not been biochemically characterized.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407nm and Em Max at 421nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50nm filter). BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates. BV421 is a polymer-based dye excited by the violet laser and is one of the brightest fluorochromes offered by BD Biosciences. Conjugates are typically 10 times brighter than Pacific Blue™ conjugates and are often as bright as or brighter than PE conjugates. Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, BD Horizon BV421, Pacific Blue™, and BD Horizon™ V450 cannot be used simultaneously.
