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 RR3-15 antibody reacts with the Vβ 11 T-Cell Receptor (TCR) of mice having the b haplotype (e.g., A, C57BL, C58, DBA/1) of the Tcrb gene complex. The Tcrb-V11 gene locus is deleted in mice having the a (e.g., C57BR, C57L, SJL, SWR) and c (e.g., RIII) haplotypes. Vβ TCR-bearing T lymphocytes are clonally eliminated in mice expressing I-E and superantigens encoded by Mtv-9 (Etc-1, Mls[f], Dvb11.2) and/or Mtv-11 (Mls[f], Dvb 11.2) proviruses (e.g., AKR, BALB/c, CBA/J, C3H, DBA/2), and they are incompletely eliminated in mice expressing I-E and Mtv-8 (Mls[f], Dvb 11.1) superantigen (e.g., A). Activation of Vβ 11 TCR-expressing T cells by these determinants is dependent upon presentation by I-E. The bacterial superantigen Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) also interacts with Vβ 11 TCR, and in vivo exposure to SEA causes activation and subsequent deletion of Vβ TCR-expressing lymphocytes. Plate-bound RR3-15 antibody activates Vβ 11 TCR-bearing T cells.
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.
