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.

- 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.
- When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid fragments produced by ammonium chloride-based lysis, such as with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899), has been observed when the antibody conjugate was present during the lysis procedure. This may cause nonspecific staining of target cells, such as leukocytes, which have bound the resulting erythroid fragments. This background can be mitigated by any of the following: titrating the antibody conjugate to a lower concentration, fixing samples with formaldehyde, or removing erythrocytes before staining (eg, gradient centrifugation or pre-lysis with wash). This background has not been observed when cells were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202) after staining.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.
- Tandem fluorochromes contain both an energy donor and an energy acceptor. Although every effort is made to minimize the lot-to-lot variation in the efficiency of the fluorochrome energy transfer, differences in the residual emission from the donor may be observed. Additionally, multi-laser cytometers may directly excite both the donor and acceptor fluorochromes. Therefore, we recommend for every tandem conjugate, a matched individual single-stain control be acquired for generating a compensation or spectral unmixing matrix.

- 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.

Fcγ receptor type II (FcγRII) molecules, also known as CD32 antigens, serve as low affinity receptors for monomeric IgG but bind immune complexes (aggregated IgG) efficiently. Several forms of these receptors, including transmembrane or soluble glycoproteins, are encoded by separate genes and by alternative mRNA splicing: CD32a/FcγRIIa (FCGR2A), CD32b/FcγRIIb (FCGR2B), and CD32c/FcγRIIc (FCGR2C). CD32 molecules are comprised of two IgC-like domains that may be followed by a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic domain with either ITAM (CD32a and CD32c) or ITIM (CD32b) immunoreceptor signaling motifs. These polymorphic receptors are differentially expressed by leucocyte subsets and are involved in the process of phagocytosis, clearing of immune complexes, platelet activation and degranulation, and regulation of immune responses. The IV.3 monoclonal antibody strongly recognizes FcγRIIA expressed on platelets, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and B cells. It reportedly binds to an epitope mapped to amino acids 132-137 (FSHLDP) located in the second IgC-like domain within the ligand-binding site. The IV.3 antibody has been used to crosslink or block FcγRII in functional studies as well as a blocking antibody to reduce non-specific binding by antibodies used for staining or cell separation applications. This antibody may weakly crossreact with FcγRIIb/CD32b.
