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.
Product Notices
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- 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.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
Companion Products
The 16.1 monoclonal antibody recognizes the C57BL/6 mouse CD161a, CD161b, and CD161c (CD161a, b, c) cell surface molecules, which are also known as Natural killer cell receptor P1A (NKRP1A), NKRP1D, and NKRP1C, respectively. These cell surface molecules are expressed by natural killer (NK) cells and may play a role in NK cell functions. The 16.1 antibody does not crossreact with CD161f (NKRP1F). This antibody likely binds to CD161 molecules expressed by lymphoid cells from some other mouse strains.
