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 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 CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. 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).

- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
- Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.

F4.22.RMAB is a recombinant form of the F4.22 monoclonal antibody. The F4.22 antibody specifically recognizes TCR Vδ6B subfamily members that have more than 90% identity at the nucleotide level with the previously described pλ12 and is also referred to as Anti-Vδ6λ12. The F4.22 antibody recognizes two members of the Vδ6/ADV subfamily expressed in C57BL/6 (B6) mice and at least one subfamily member expressed in DBA/2 mice. The F4.22 antibody does not recognize any TCR γδ T cell hybridomas expressing different TCR Vδ chains including other members of the TCR Vδ6 subfamily. The F4.22 antibody stains sizable proportions of Vγ1+, Vγ4+, and Vγ7+ γδ T cells prepared from the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and T cell hybridomas derived from B6 mice. It likewise stains Vγ1+ and Vγ7+ γδ T cells from C57BL/10 and B10.D2 that share the same TCRδ haplotype. It does not stain any γδ T cells from BALB/c, C3H/HeJ, CBA/J, 129/Sv and FVB/N mice.
