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).

The APB5 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD140b, the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor beta chain (PDGFRβ). CD140b is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. This receptor is encoded by Pdgfrb and is widely expressed on cells within embryonic tissues and cells of mesenchymal origin in the adult mouse including fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells. CD140b forms homodimers or heterodimeric receptor complexes with CD140a (PDGFRα) upon binding various dimeric Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) isoforms that lead to receptor activation. Upon activation, CD140b is autophosphorylated at multiple tyrosine sites and, in turn, initiates several signaling cascades by binding and activation of cytoplasmic SH2 domain-containing signal transduction molecules, such as GRB2, Src, GAP, PI3 kinase, PLCγ, and NCK. These signaling pathways regulate cellular growth and proliferation, survival, differentiation, and migration involved in the development of embryonic tissues, blood vessel formation, wound healing, and in a range of diseases including fibrotic conditions, atherosclerosis, and malignancies.
