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 186107 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the Retinoic acid early inducible 1 (Rae-1) family of glycoproteins which is also known as retinoic acid early transcript 1. This family includes Rae-1α, β, δ, ε and γ, which are encoded by Raet1a, Raet1b, Raet1d, Raet1e, and Raet1c, respectively. Although expressed by some cells during mouse embryonic development, expression of these highly homologous membrane proteins is either low or absent on cells within adult tissues. These glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins are structurally related to MHC class I molecules and contain alpha 1 and 2 domains. The Rae-1 family of glycoproteins serve as ligands for CD314 (NKG2D) which functions as an activating receptor expressed on some cytotoxic T cells and NK cells. Stress-induced Rae-1 proteins are expressed on tumor cells and might play a role in tumor rejection.
