CD38 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 421, Clone: HIT2, BD

The HIT2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD38. CD38 is a 45 kDa type II single-chain transmembrane glycoprotein present on thymocytes, activated T cells and terminally differentiated B cells (plasma cells). Other reactive cells include monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and some epithelial cells. The CD38 antigen acts as an ectoenzyme that catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of a Ca++ mobilizing agent, cyclic ADP-ribose. This intracellular calcium plays an important role in cell signaling pathways. Reports describe CD38 as
participating in adhesion with CD31, immunoregulatory functions involving signal transduction leading to cell growth, apoptosis, and differentiation. The antibody was conjugated to Brilliant Violet 421 and has been developed in collaboration with Sirigen. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, Brilliant Violet 421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). Brilliant Violet 421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates.
