About CD90
This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins. The encoded protein is involved in cell adhesion and cell communication in numerous cell types, but particularly in cells of the immune and nervous systems. The encoded protein is widely used as a marker for hematopoietic stem cells. This gene may function as a tumor suppressor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

About Brilliant Violet 510
Brilliant™ Violet 510 (BV510) is a green-emitting non-tandem polymer fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 510/50 bandpass filter. BV510 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an emission peak at 510 nm, and is similar to StarBright Violet 515 (Bio-Rad). BV510 is most often used in flow cytometry due to its improved signal-to-noise over alternatives like V500 and AmCyan. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line. BV510 and BV480 are the only dyes in the Brilliant™ Violet dye family that are not tandem fluorophores based off the BV421 polymer core, but they have nearly the same maximum excitation.
