Figure 1. Fluorescence intensity comparison of Super Bright 702 conjugates to Brilliant Violet™ 711 conjugates.(A) Mouse splenocytes stained with anti-CD4 conjugated to Super Bright 702 (red) or Brilliant Violet™ 711 conjugate (gray), at the same concentration of antibody. (B) Human peripheral blood cells stained with anti-CD19 conjugated to Super Bright 702 (red) or Brilliant Violet 711™ conjugate (gray), using the same concentration of antibody.
Comparable to Brilliant Violet 711 conjugates
Invitrogen eBioscience Super Bright 702 antibody conjugates for flow cytometry provide:
- Less spill over into certain blue channels and also into other violet channels, including the Brilliant Violet™ 786 detection channel
- Options in marker and clone selection for violet laser excitable antibody conjugates
- Compatibility with standard intracellular buffers, viability stains, compensation beads, and other antibodies
Multiplexing with Super Bright 702 antibody conjugates
| Multiplexing compatibility | Buffer | Multiplexing considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Multiplexing with 1 Super Bright antibody conjugate | Standard buffers applicable | No special buffer required when only one Super Bright antibody conjugate is used in a panel |
| Multiplexing with 2 or more Super Bright antibody conjugates | Super Bright Staining Buffer | Special staining buffer is required prior to addition of Super Bright conjugates to reduce non-specific dye-dye interactions |
| Multiplexing with 1 or more Brilliant Violet™ antibody conjugates | Super Bright Staining Buffer | Special staining buffer is required to reduce non-specific dye-dye interactions. Use of the Super Bright Staining Buffer is recommended, but the similar Brilliant Stain Buffer can be substituted |
Figure 2. 10-color ILC2 subset panel. Normal human PBMCs were surface-stained in the presence of Super Bright Staining Buffer (Cat. No. SB-4400-42) at optimal concentrations for the indicated surface markers.(A) Gated on live cells, this plot shows the lineage markers used as a FITC dump channel (CD3 (clone UCHT1), CD4 (clone SK3), CD8a (clone RPA-T8), CD11b (clone ICRF44), and CD19 (clone HIB19) vs. CD127 (IL-7RA) (clone eBioRDR5) Super Bright 436 (Cat. No. 62-1278-42) stained cells. Since ILC2 subsets are negative for all five of these markers, all CD127 and lineage-positive cells can be eliminated from further analysis. (B-G) Gating strategy is shown for all lineage targets to highlight the ILC2 population. (H, I) The CD294 (CRTH2) population is identified.
| Viability stain options | Product | Multiplexing considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Fixable | LIVE/DEAD fixable dead cell stain kits | No compatibility concerns |
| Non-fixable | SYTOX non-fixable dead cell stains Ready Flow Ready-to-use viability reagents | No compatibility concerns Compatible with all Ready Flow reagents for viability |
| Product | Multiplexing considerations |
|---|---|
| UltraComp eBeads microspheres | UltraComp eBeads microspheres are compatible but OneComp eBeads are not compatible with violet lasers; the AbC Total Antibody Compensation Bead Kit is also compatible with the Super Bright antibody conjugates. |
| Staining Target | Product | Multiplexing considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Cytosolic staining (cytokines) | Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set | No compatibility concerns |
| Nuclear staining (transcription factors) | Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set | No compatibility concerns |
