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.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. 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).
Note: When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid cell subsets (mature erythrocytes and precursors) has been observed. For researchers studying these cell populations, or in cases where light scatter gating does not adequately exclude these cells from the analysis, this background may be an important factor to consider when selecting reagents for panel(s).
Product Notices
- 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.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- 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 H132 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the variable beta 13.2 region of the β subunit of the human αβ T cell receptor for antigen (TCR Vβ13.2). TCR Vβ13.2 is expressed on subsets of TCR αβ positive thymocytes and peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The H132 antibody is useful for multiparameter analyses designed to study the nature of TCR Vβ13.2-positive cells including normal T cells as well as T cell clones, hybridomas, or tumors. It is also useful for analyzing TCR Vβ repertoires expressed by T cell populations collected from blood, tissues or other sources in health and disease models including inflammation, autoimmunity, responses to superantigens, tumors, and infectious diseases including HIV infection. The H132 antibody can reportedly stimulate the proliferation of TCR Vβ13.2-positive T cells. The H132 antibody recognizes human TCR Vβ13.2 subfamily members but does not react with other human TCR Vβ13 family members including TCR Vβ13.1, Vβ13.3, Vβ13.5 and Vβ13.6 subfamily members.
