Specific Information

Description: The MU5UBEE monoclonal antibody reacts with human and non-human primate CD185. CD185, which is also known as C-X-C chemokine receptor 5 (CXCR5) and Burkitt lymphoma receptor 1 (BLR1), is a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor originally identified in Burkitt's lymphoma. In peripheral blood, CD185 is expressed on B cells, CD4+ T cells (but not Th1 or Th2 cells), as well as on a subpopulation of memory (CD45RO+) T cells. Circulating CD185+ T cells are in a resting state and migrate to the lymph nodes due to expression of CCR7 and CD62L. In tonsil, CD185 is expressed on nearly all CD4+ cells together with CD45RO and activation markers such as CD69 and ICOS. Tonsillar CD185+ cells have been shown to induce antibody production when co-cultured with B cells, thus supporting their role in providing help to B cells. Furthermore, this chemokine receptor plays a critical role in lymphocyte trafficking, in particular T cell migration into the B cell follicles of germinal centers in response to CXCL13, making CD185 an established marker of follicular helper T cells.

The MU5UBEE monoclonal antibody also crossreacts with Rhesus macaque.

Applications Reported: This MU5UBEE antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This MU5UBEE antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 µL (0.5 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

Brilliant Violet™ 786 (BV786) is a tandem dye that emits at 786 nm and is intended for use on cytometers equipped with a violet (405 nm) laser. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

When using two or more Super Bright, Brilliant Violet™, Brilliant Ultra Violet™, or other polymer dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Product # SB-4401-42) or Brilliant Stain Buffer™ (Product # 00-4409-75) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions. Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer or Brilliant Stain Buffer for more information.

Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.

Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-8222-49) (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333-54) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone-specific performance should be determined empirically.

Our internal testing suggests that Brilliant Violet™ 786 (BV786) is not compatible with methanol-based fixation.

Excitation: 407 nm; Emission: 786 nm; Laser: Violet Laser.
