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 Ultraviolet 661
Brilliant™ UltraViolet 661 (BUV661) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that combines BD Horizon® BUV395 and an acceptor dye. It can be excited by the 355 nm ultraViolet laser and collected using a 670/25 bandpass filter. BUV661 has an excitation peak at 498 nm and an emission peak at 657 nm BUV661 has a medium/high relative brightness, and is most commonly used for multicolor flow cytometry. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ UltraViolet dye family, developed and sold by BD Biosciences. This family of dyes uses BUV396 as the donor so that all dyes in the family can be excited by the 355 nm ultraViolet laser. Depending on the acceptor, the dyes in this family have different relative brightness ratings.
