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 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 CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. 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 MIH37 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (PD-L2) which is also known as CD273 and Butyrophilin B7-DC (B7-DC). This regulatory molecule is a 42-kDa type I membrane glycoprotein encoded by Pdcd1lg2 which belongs to the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. CD273 (PD-L2) is comprised of an extracellular region with an N-terminal IgV-like domain followed by an IgC2-type domain, a transmembrane sequence, and a cytoplasmic tail. Although not detected on resting leucocytes, its expression is upregulated upon activation of macrophages and dendritic cells (DC) by a variety of stimulatory factors including IL-4, IL-13, or GM-CSF. CD273 (PD-L2) serves as a ligand for the coinhibitory receptor, CD279 (PD-1), a receptor that likewise binds to the CD274 (PD-L1) ligand. CD273 (PD-L2) also binds to Repulsive guidance molecule b (RGMb) that is expressed by T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and DC. RGMb may associate with other receptors that transduce costimulatory or coinhibitory signals. The MIH37 antibody reportedly blocks the binding of CD273 (PB-L2) to its receptors, CD279 (PD-1) or RGMb and can inhibit antigen-specific T cell responses and hapten-induced contact hypersensitivity reactions. The TY25 monoclonal antibody reportedly binds with lower affinity near or at the same mouse CD273 (PD-L2) epitope recognized by the MIH37 antibody.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 711-nm. BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor™ 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
