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.

- 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.
- 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.

- Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.

The R139 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD93 which is also known as Complement component C1q receptor (C1qR), C1q receptor 1 (C1qR1), or Matrix-remodeling-associated protein 4 (MXRA4). The immunogen used to generate the R139 hybridoma was a preparation of CD93 protein. Human CD93 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed on monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, and endothelial cells but not on T and B lymphocytes. CD93 is also known as the C1q/MBL/SPA Receptor as it binds C1q, the recognition subunit of the first component (C1) of the complement pathway, as well as MBL (Mannose-binding-lectin) and SPA (Pulmonary Surfactant Protein A). Human C1qRp is involved in the C1q-mediated enhancement of phagocytosis. R139 is suitable to detect CD93 expression on cells of myeloid lineage by flow cytometry, and CD93 in cellular lysates by Western blotting or immunoprecipitation. In addition, R139 reportedly neutralizes C1q-mediated enhancement of phagocytosis. CD93 has also been reported to define a human stem cell population with hematopoietic and hepatic potential.
