The 140706 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD196 (CCR6), a CC chemokine receptor that is expressed on B lymphocytes and subsets of T and dendritic cells. The known ligand for CCR6 is CCL20/MIP-3α, and together they regulate the migration and recruitment of antigen-presenting and immunocompetent cells during inflammatory and immunological responses.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV510 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 405-nm and Em Max at 510-nm, BD Horizon BV510 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon V500 (525/50-nm) filter set. BD Horizon BV510 conjugates are useful for the detection of dim markers off the violet laser.
