About CD354
This gene encodes a receptor belonging to the Ig superfamily that is expressed on myeloid cells. This protein amplifies neutrophil and monocyte-mediated inflammatory responses triggered by bacterial and fungal infections by stimulating release of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, as well as increased surface expression of cell activation markers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

About Brilliant Violet 786
Brilliant™ Violet 786 (BV786) is a far-red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 780/60 bandpass filter. BV750 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an emission peak at 786 nm. Due to its unique Stokes shift, few dyes have identical or near identical excitation and emission spectrums, but the nearest alternatives are Qdot® 800 and SuperBright 780 (ThermoFisher), and Brilliant™ Violet 785 (BioLegend). What's the difference between BV785 and BV786? BV785 is a BioLegend color, while BV786 is a BD Biosciences color, but they exhibit the same spectral properties. This dye exhibits a medium level of brightness and is most often used in flow cytometry. Older instruments may not be set up for a dye with such a large Stokes shift, however BV786 is especially well suited for spectral cytometers or sorters. 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.
