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
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).

The 54/HIF-1α monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the alpha subunit (HIF-1alpha/HIF-1a/HIF1A) of the heterodimeric helix-loop-helix transcription factor, Hypoxia-induced factor 1 (HIF-1) complex which is involved in cellular O2 homeostasis. Under hypoxic conditions, HIF-1a accumulates and translocates into the nucleus, where it binds to the constitutively-expressed HIF-1 beta subunit (HIF-1b, also known as, Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator/ARNT). This complex can then bind to hypoxic response elements (HREs) of target genes, including glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, erythropoietin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and various other genes that facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. HIF-1a is also known to be regulated by proinflammatory cytokines and bacterial products and plays an essential role in inflammation, immunity, and cancer. HIF-1a is rapidly degraded under normoxic conditions.
