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.
- Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

The G9P3 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes mouse EVA1, which is encoded by the Mpzl2 gene. EVA1 is a member of the immunoglobulin-like cell-adhesion molecule (Ig-CAM or IgSF CAM) family, members of which are anchored to the surface of epithelial and endothelial cells via a GPI domain. This class of adhesion molecules interacts intracellularly with cytoskeletal proteins and extracellularly with Ig-CAM family members, by homophilic or heterophilic binding, and with other classes of adhesion molecules such as integrins and cadherins. EVA1 is expressed on and is involved in the structural integrity of epithelia throughout the body, eg mammary glands, liver, inner ear, and the blood-brain barrier. In the thymus, EVA1 is expressed both on thymic epithelial cells (TECs) and on a subset of developing thymocytes, known as DN3. It is a low-affinity mediator of developmental signals between thymocytes and TEC that support the differentiation and survival of both developing thymocytes and the TECs. G9P3 mAb was produced in EVA1 knockout mice immunized with recombinant mouse EVA1 extracellular region, and it recognizes mouse and human EVA1 expressed on transfected cells.
