Multiplexing with Super Bright 780 antibody conjugates

Figure 1. Fluorescence intensity comparison of Super Bright 780 conjugates and Brilliant Violet™ 786 conjugates. (A) Mouse splenocytes stained with anti-CD4 conjugated to Super Bright 780 (red, Cat. No. 78-0042-80) or Brilliant Violet 786 conjugate (gray), at the same concentration of antibody. (B) Human peripheral blood cells stained with anti-CD8a conjugated to Super Bright 780 (red, Cat. No. 78-0088-41) or Brilliant Violet™ 786 conjugate (gray), using the same concentration of antibody.

Multiplexing compatibilityBufferMultiplexing considerations
Multiplexing with 1 Super Bright antibody conjugateStandard buffers applicableNo special buffer required when only one Super Bright antibody conjugate is used in a panel
Multiplexing with 2 or more Super Bright antibody conjugatesSuper Bright Staining BufferSpecial 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 conjugatesSuper Bright Staining BufferSpecial 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

Staining performance and post-fixation stability

Figure 4. Staining performance and post-fixation stability. Human peripheral blood cells stained with CD8a antibody conjugated to Super Bright 780 (Cat. No. 78-0088-41) and analyzed immediately (red) or subjected to different fixation buffers per the recommended protocol: (A) eBioscience Foxp3 / Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (Cat. No. 00-5523-00), (B) eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49), or (C) eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer followed by 30 minutes in 90% methanol and were analyzed at 30 min (blue), overnight (orange) or after 3 days (green).
