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.

The RL73 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD147. CD147 is type I membrane glycoprotein and member of the Ig superfamily. CD147 is also known as extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) and gp42/basigin (BSG). The CD147 molecule is widely expressed on a variety of hemopoietic and non-hemopoietic cell types including thymocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, erythroblasts and erythrocytes, endothelial cells and neoplasms. CD147 reportedly plays significant roles in the reproductive, nervous and immune systems and in tumor progression. In the immune system, CD147 can function as an adhesion molecule and signaling receptor that regulates leukocyte trafficking and immune and inflammatory responses.
