About CD161
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxicity and secrete cytokines after immune stimulation. Several genes of the C-type lectin superfamily, including the rodent NKRP1 family of glycoproteins, are expressed by NK cells and may be involved in the regulation of NK cell function. The KLRB1 protein contains an extracellular domain with several motifs characteristic of C-type lectins, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The KLRB1 protein is classified as a type II membrane protein because it has an external C terminus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About Brilliant Violet 750
Brilliant™ Violet 750 (BV750) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 780/60 bandpass filter with a 740 LP dichroic mirror. BV750 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an emission peak at 750 nm. Due to its unique Stokes shift, no dyes have identical or near identical excitation and emission spectrums. BV750 exhibits a medium level of brightness and is most often used in flow cytometry. Older instruments may not be set up for a dye with such a large Stokes shift, however BV750 is especially well suited for spectral cytometers or sorters. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line of fluorescent polymers. Brilliant™ Violet 421 polymer is employed as the donor molecule in a series of tandem dyes with acceptor molecules emitting at various points across the visible light spectrum. The Brilliant™ Violet dyes are a superior alternative to QDot nanocrystals and similar to SuperNova dye from Beckman Coulter and StarBright dyes from Bio-Rad.
