About F4/80
This gene encodes a protein that has a domain resembling seven transmembrane G protein-coupled hormone receptors (7TM receptors) at its C-terminus. The N-terminus of the encoded protein has six EGF-like modules, separated from the transmembrane segments by a serine/threonine-rich domain, a feature reminiscent of mucin-like, single-span, integral membrane glycoproteins with adhesive properties. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

About StarBright Blue 615
StarBright Blue 615 (SBB615) Dye is a bright, 488 nm laser excitable dye with a unique, narrow excitation and emission profile and is suitable for conventional and full spectrum flow cytometry. It is brighter than PE-CF594 and PE-Dazzle594 when excited by the 488 nm and is not excited to the same degree by the 561 nm laser. As it is not a traditional tandem dye, SBB615 does not have issues around tandem breakdown and changes to staining over time. SBB615 provides more choice and flexibility when building multicolor panels incorporating the 488 nm laser.
