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 9C11G4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD314, also known as NKG2-D, NKR-P2 and NKLLR. CD314 is encoded by Klrk1 (Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily K, member 1). It is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein of the C-type lectin family. This lectin-like receptor is expressed by several cell types including NK cells, NKT cells, γδ T lymphocytes and CD8-positive αβ T lymphocytes. CD314 acts as an activating receptor that can induce NK effector cell activities. NK cells can reportedly bind to members of the RAE1 family, including cell surface RAE-1L and RRLT as ligands, through their CD314 receptors. NK cells are thereby induced to secrete IFN-γ and exert cytotoxicity that may play a role in allograft rejection.
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.
