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.

The MIH5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD274, also known as B7-H1 or PDL1, a 43-kDa glycoprotein encoded by the Pdcd1lg1 gene of the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. Pdcd1lg1 mRNA is expressed in more tissues than other members of the B7 family; transcripts are found in lymphoid tissues and many, but not all, non-lymphoid tissues. The protein has been detected at low levels on resting peripheral T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. B7-H1 mRNA and protein expression are upregulated upon activation of T and B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and epidermal keratinocytes by a variety of stimulatory factors. B7-H1's receptor, PD-1, contains an ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif) on its intracytoplasmic region and is expressed on activated B and T lymphocytes, suggesting that B7-H1-PD-1 interaction may be involved in the negative regulation of immune responses. The second PD-1 ligand, B7-DC (PD-L2), is also a member of the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. Furthermore, B7-H1 may participate in positive immunoregulation, or costimulation of T cells, through an additional receptor, which is not PD-1 and distinct from the alternate receptor for B7-DC. The MIH5 antibody blocks the binding of PD-1-Ig to B7-H1 transfectants.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ Red 718, which has been developed exclusively by for BD Biosciences as a better alternative to Alexa Fluor™ 700. BD Horizon™ Red 718 can be excited by the red laser (628 – 640 nm) and, with an Em Max around 718 nm, it can be detected using a 730/45 nm filter. Due to similar excitation and emission properties, we do not recommend using R718 in combination with APC-R700 or Alexa Fluor™ 700.
