About CD14
The protein encoded by this gene is a surface antigen that is preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. It cooperates with other proteins to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, and to viruses. This gene has been identified as a target candidate in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients to potentially lessen or inhibit a severe inflammatory response. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

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.
