About Bcl-6
The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor and contains an N-terminal POZ domain. This protein acts as a sequence-specific repressor of transcription, and has been shown to modulate the transcription of STAT-dependent IL-4 responses of B cells. This protein can interact with a variety of POZ-containing proteins that function as transcription corepressors. This gene is found to be frequently translocated and hypermutated in diffuse large-cell lymphoma (DLCL), and may be involved in the pathogenesis of DLCL. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

About Brilliant Ultraviolet 496
Brilliant™ UltraViolet 496 (BUV496) is a blue-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 515/30 bandpass filter. BUV496 has an excitation peak at 348 nm and an emission peak at 496 nm BUV496 has a low/medium 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 BUV395 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.
