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 CompBead 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.
- 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 U23-56 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) which is also known as CD204, Scavenger receptor A (SRA), Scavenger receptor class A member 1 (SCARA1), or Macrophage acetylated LDL receptor I and II. MSR1 is a trimeric type II transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the type 1 class A scavenger receptor family. MSR1 functions as a scavenger receptor that enables mononuclear phagocytes to take up and respond to a variety of negatively charged macromolecules including oxidized and acetylated low density lipoproteins. MSR1 also functions in innate immunity as a pattern recognition receptor. MSR1 allows macrophages to recognize and respond to microbial products, such as lipopolysaccharide and polyribonucleic acids, by the production of cytokines and inflammatory mediators. MSR1 also reportedly serves as a coreceptor that regulates the signaling of some Toll-like receptors including TLR-3, TLR-4, and TLR-9. MSR1 has been associated with several diseases including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, ischemic injury, and sepsis. The U23-56 antibody was tested by flow cytometric and Western blot analyses of MSR1-transfected and untransfected cells to verify its specificity.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon Red 718, which has been developed exclusively 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.
