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
- 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.

The Q38-480 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD150, also known as SLAM (signaling lymphocyte activation molecule). CD150 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the CD2 subfamily of the Ig superfamily. It is encoded by the Slamf1 (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 1) gene. CD150 is differentially expressed on subsets of thymocytes, T and B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. SLAM plays multiple roles in innate and adaptive immunity serving as an adhesion molecule and/or coreceptor. CD150-mediated costimulation of TCR-activated T cells reportedly results in the increased production of IFN-γ by Th1 cells and is required for IL-4 production by T follicular helper cells. CD150 also plays important roles in hematopoietic cell developmental pathways. CD150 is differentially expressed by self-renewing adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) whereas non-multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells are CD150-. Utilizing additional cell surface markers, lineage-negative CD150+CD48-CD41- cell fractions are reported to be highly enriched for adult HSC.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ Red 718, which has been developed exclusively by for BD Biosciences as a better alternative to Alexa Fluor™ 700. BD Horizon™ Red 718 can be excited by the red laser (628 – 640 nm) and, with an Em Max around 718 nm, it can be detected using a 730/45 nm filter. Due to similar excitation and emission properties, we do not recommend using R718 in combination with APC-R700 or Alexa Fluor™ 700.
