About CD102
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins, contain 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains, and bind to the leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein. This protein may play a role in lymphocyte recirculation by blocking LFA-1-dependent cell adhesion. It mediates adhesive interactions important for antigen-specific immune response, NK-cell mediated clearance, lymphocyte recirculation, and other cellular interactions important for immune response and surveillance. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About Brilliant Violet 605
Brilliant™ Violet 605 (BV605) is an orange/red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 610/20 bandpass filter. BV605 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an and emission peak at 603 nm. BV605 is most commonly used in flow cytometry and is spectrally similar to SuperBright 600 (Thermo Fisher), SuperNova v605 (Beckman Coulter) and StarBright Violet 610 (Bio-Rad). BV605 is considered to be relatively bright and should be used on antigens of moderate to low abudance. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line of fluorescent polymers. Brilliant™ Violet 421 polymer is employed as the donor molecule in a series of tandem dyes with acceptor molecules emitting at various points across the visible light spectrum. The Brilliant™ Violet dyes are a superior alternative to QDot nanocrystals and similar to SuperNova dye from Beckman Coulter and StarBright dyes from Bio-Rad.
