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 cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The URA-1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the extracellular domain of the mouse CD301b. CD301b is also known as macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin 2 (MGL2) and is encoded by Mgl2 (Macrophage galactose N-acetyl-galactosamine specific lectin 2). Mouse D301b (MGL2) is a ~42 kDa type II transmembrane glycoproteins that is comprised of an extracellular region with a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) followed by a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic tail. CD301b is expressed on conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and immature DCs. CD301b recognizes molecules having galactose and N-actetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues. CD301b is involved in the recognition and endocytosis of glycoproteins and play roles in tissue remodeling, clearance of apoptotic cells, and defense against tumor cells. The ER-MP23 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes both CD301a and CD301b and can reportedly inhibit their binding of carbohydrate ligands.
