Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant™ dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).

The 551 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Siglec-H, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Siglech (Sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin H). Siglec-H contains two immunoglobulin domains in its extracellular region and a cytoplasmic domain that lacks tyrosine-based signaling motifs unlike other CD33-related Siglec-like molecules. Siglec-H is expressed on progenitors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and depends on DAP12 for cell surface expression and intracellular signaling function. In addition to its expression on plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), Siglec-H may also be expressed by splenic marginal zone macrophages, medullary macrophages in lymph nodes, and microglia. Siglec-H may regulate the production of type I interferons (IFN-I) by pDCs and other cell types. There is no clear human ortholog for mouse Siglec-H.
