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. This will ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant™ dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).

The C9Mab-1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 9 (CCR9), which is also known as CD199. CCR9 is an ~42 kDa seven-transmembrane protein in the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) supergene family. It is upregulated by CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes, then downregulated in committed CD4+ or CD8+ single-positive thymocytes. CCR9 is also expressed on small intestinal B cells, subsets of memory CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, and dendritic cells. CCR9 binds CCL25, which is also known as thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK) or small inducible chemokine 25 (Scya25). CCL25 is highly expressed in the thymic cortex and small intestinal epithelium. CCR9 is involved in T cell development and gut-associated immune functions via lymphocyte recruitment to the gastrointestinal tract.
