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
- 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.
- 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.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The C40-1457 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD271 that is also known as the nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR). CD271 is 75 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein likewise known as TNFRSF16 that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. CD271 has been found localized to neuronal axons, Schwann cells, and perineural cells of peripheral nerves. It is also expressed by some epithelial, mesenchymal and lymphoid tissues. NGFR is the receptor for nerve growth factor (NGF), a polypeptide that is essential for normal development of the nervous system. NGF promotes survival and differentiation of sympathetic and sensory neurons during embryological development of the peripheral nervous system. NGF binds to two distinctive surface receptors, the p/140[prototrk] and p75[NGFR]. High affinity binding of NGF requires that both receptor molecules be expressed. NGFR is expressed on human and rat lymphocytes. A subset of lymphoid cells in the spleen, lymph nodes, and follicular dendritic cells in germinal centers of reactive lymph nodes were found to express CD271. It has been reported that NGFR interaction with its ligand, NGF, may play a role in immunoregulation. NGF may also function as a B-cell growth factor.
