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
- 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.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.

- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
Companion Products
The HBF-719 antibody reacts with the B6 alloantigen of Ly-49F, an inhibitory receptor which is expressed on subsets of natural killer (NK) cells, NK-1.1+ (or DX5+) T lymphocytes (NK-T cells), and on a population of memory CD8+ T lymphocytes in C57BL/6 mice, 1 but not AKR/J, BALB/c, C3H/HeN, DBA/1, or SJL mice.3 The Ly-49 family of NK-cell receptors are disulfide linked type-II transmembrane protein homodimers with extracellular carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD). The Ly-49 family members are expressed independently, such that an individual NKor T-cell may display more than one class of Ly-49 receptor homodimers. Ly-49F has an ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif) in its cytoplasmic tail. Therefore, it is probably an inhibitory receptor. It weakly binds to cells expressing the H-2d MHC class I alloantigens.
