About CD229
LY9 belongs to the SLAM family of immunomodulatory receptors (see SLAMF1; MIM 603492) and interacts with the adaptor molecule SAP (SH2D1A; MIM 300490) (Graham et al., 2006 [PubMed 16365421]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 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.
