VISTA Rat anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 650, Clone: MIH64, BD Optibuild™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Manufacturer:  BD Biosciences 742723

Catalog No. BDB742723

Description

The MIH64 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) which is also known as, Differentiation of ESCs 1 (Dies1). VISTA is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Ig superfamily. VISTA has homology to the B7 family ligand, PD-L1 (CD274), and is likewise known as PD-1H. VISTA is expressed on naοve and activated T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils. VISTA functions as an inhibitory ligand. It can serve as a negative immune-checkpoint protein that suppresses T cell cytokine production and proliferation. It is also involved in regulating stem cell differentiation.

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 405nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 650nm. BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20nm 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. BV650 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 650 nm. Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors. BV650 will have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon™ BV711 detector.
