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 A7R34 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD127 which is also known as the Interleukin-7 Receptor alpha chain (IL-7Rα). CD127 associates with CD132 (common γ chain) to form a high-affinity signaling IL-7R complex that mediates the biological functions of IL-7. CD127 can also complex with the Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin Receptor (TSLPR) subunit to bind and mediate cellular responses to TSLP. CD127 is a 65-75 kDa type-I transmembrane protein that belongs to the hematopoietin receptor and the Ig gene superfamilies. Mice lacking CD127 display profoundly impaired development of the B and T lymphoid cell lineages, but display no obvious nonlymphoid abnormalities. CD127 is expressed on common lymphoid progenitors and early stages of B lineage development in the bone marrow, the earliest thymocyte progenitors, CD4-CD8- double-negative and CD4+ and CD8+ single-positive thymocytes, naïve and memory T lymphocytes, γδ TCR+ T cells, thymic NK cells, and bone marrow stromal cells. CD127 is downregulated upon activation of naïve T cells and CD127 re-expression identifies effector cells that subsequently differentiate into memory T cells. The A7R34 antibody blocks IL-7 binding to CD127. This antibody has been used in both in vitro and in vivo studies to define the biological roles played by CD127.
