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).
For optimal results, it is recommended to perform two washes after staining with antibodies. Cells may be prepared, stained with antibodies and washed twice with wash buffer per established protocols for immunofluorescent staining prior to acquisition on a flow cytometer. Performing fewer than the recommended wash steps may lead to increased spread of the negative population.

C2MAB-6.RMAB is a recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes CD192 which is also known as C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2 or CC-CKR-2), Cmkbr2, or MCP-1 receptor (MCP-1-R). CD192 (CCR2) is an ~42 kDa seven-transmembrane, G-protein-coupled, glycoprotein receptor encoded by Ccr2 which belongs to the beta chemokine receptor family. It is expressed on monocytes, macrophages, basophils and on some T cells and dendritic cells. Chemokines including CCL2 (Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1/MCP-1), CCL7 (MCP-3), or CCL12 (MCP-5) bind to and signal through CD192 (CCR2) to recruit monocytes and other leucocytes into inflammatory sites including tumors.
