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.
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 11A8 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1) which is also known as CD226, Platelet and T cell activation antigen 1 (PTA1), or T lineage-specific activation antigen 1 antigen (TLiSA1). CD226 is an ~65 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by CD226 (CD226 antigen) which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). The N-terminal extracellular region of CD226 (DNAM-1) contains two C2 type Ig-like domains which are followed by a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic tail with predicted phosphorylation sites involved in signaling. This adhesion molecule is expressed on subsets of thymocytes, peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and B cells, NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, and platelets. CD226 (DNAM-1) associates with leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and is involved in TCR-mediated signal transduction for T cell proliferation and differentiation. Interactions between the CD226 (DNAM-1) activating receptor and its ligands, CD112 and CD155, results in cellular signaling that promotes innate and adaptive immune responses, including the activation, differentiation, and survival of cytotoxic cells.
