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.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The Trastuzumab297.rMAb (also known as Trastuzumab N297A Biosimilar.rMAb) is a research grade, chimeric recombinant human IgG1 kappa antibody that specifically recognizes the extracellular domain of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (also known as HER2, HER-2, ErbB2, NEU, or CD340) similarly to the therapeutic Trastuzumab antibody. The Trastuzumab297.rMAb uses the same variable region sequences as Trastuzumab, combined with constant region sequences derived from consensus sequences of human IgG1, kappa. The asparagine at position 297 of the constant heavy chain has been replaced with alanine (N297A) to further reduce Fc receptor interactions of this reagent. Trastuzumab is a humanized therapeutic monoclonal antibody that was originally made by inserting the immunoglobulin (Ig) variable region sequences of the human HER-2-specific mouse monoclonal, 4D5. HER2 is a ~185 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ERBB2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) which belongs to the ERBB family of receptor tyrosine kinases that includes EGFR (HER1), HER3, and HER4. Members of this receptor subfamily mediate the proliferation and differentiation of normal cells. Although HER2 has no identified direct-binding ligand, it forms signaling heterodimeric receptors with other ligand-bound ERBB family members. HER2 activates intracellular signaling pathways including MAPK and PI-3K through its cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase-containing region. HER2 is expressed by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. It is overexpressed and plays a significant role in the development of multiple human cancers including some leukemias, neuroblastomas, and carcinomas.
The Trastuzumab297.rMAb is intended for research use only. It is not intended for use in therapeutic or diagnostic procedures for humans or animals.
