CD81 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 605, Clone: JS-81, BD Optibuild™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 740413

Catalog No. BDB740413

Description

The JS-81 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD81, which is also known as, Target of the antiproliferative antibody 1 (TAPA1, TAPA-1), or Tetraspanin-28 (Tspan-28/TSPAN28). CD81 is an ∽26 kDa transmembrane protein that belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family. It is involved in cell growth and signal transduction. CD81 has a very broad cellular distribution, being expressed on cells of hematopoietic, neuroectodermal and mesenchymal origin. In hematopoietic cells, the CD81 antigen is expressed on B and T lymphocytes, NK cells, thymocytes, eosinophils, germinal center follicular dendritic cells, and to a variable extent on monocytes. The CD81 antigen is not expressed on neutrophils, platelets, or erythrocytes. CD81-specific antibodies have been shown to have anti-proliferative effects on different lymphoid cell lines, particularly those derived from large cell lymphomas. They are also reported to induce homotypic cell aggregation. Immunoprecipitation studies reveal that CD81 is a component of a multimolecular complex of CD19, CD21, and CD225 that is involved in the activation and control of B cell growth.

This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.
