IL-10 Rat anti-Human and Viral, Brilliant Violet 711, Clone: JES3-9D7, BD

The JES3-9D7 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with human IL-10 (Interleukin-10) and viral IL-10. The immunogen used to generate the JES3-9D7 hybridoma was recombinant human IL-10 expressed by COS cells. IL-10 is also known as CSIF (Cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor) and (TGIF) T-cell growth inhibitory factor. IL-10 is expressed by various cell types including activated monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, granulocytes, and lymphocytes. IL-10 is a pleiotropic cytokine that can downregulate proinflammatory immune responses, such as Th1-like responses, while promoting other responses including B cell proliferation and antibody production.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 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 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 711-nm. BD Horizon™ BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor™ 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy™5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
