CD19, Brilliant Violet™ 480, Clone: HIB19, Invitrogen™

Description

The HIB19 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD19, a 95 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein. CD19 is expressed by B cells during all stages of development excluding the terminally differentiated plasma cells. Follicular dendritic cells also express CD19. Together CD21, CD81, Leu13, MHC class II, and CD19 form a multimolecular complex that associates with BCR. Signaling through CD19 induces tyrosine phosphorylation, calcium flux and proliferation of B cells. The SJ25C1 antibody and the HIB19 monoclonal antibody recognize overlapping epitopes. Applications Reported: This HIB19 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This HIB19 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 μL (0.25 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™ 480 (BV480) is a dye that emits at 479 nm and is intended for use on cytometers equipped with a violet (405 nm) laser. Our internal testing suggests that Brilliant Violet™ 480 (BV480) is not compatible with methanol-based fixation. Excitation: 440 nm; Emission: 479 nm; Laser: Violet Laser.
