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 cell 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® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).

The Z7-205.rMAb monoclonal antibody specifically binds to KLRG1 (Killer cell Lectin-like Receptor G1), which is the homolog of the rat mast cell function-associated antigen (MAFA). KLRG1 is an inhibitory lectin-like type II transmembrane receptor containing a ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif) cytoplasmic motif.. KLRG1 is expressed mainly as a homodimeric molecule consisting of two 30-38 kDa N-glycosylated subunits. Binding to its ligands E-, N- and R-cadherins prevents Akt phosphorylation and increases expression of cell cycle inhibitors. Human KLRG1 is expressed on a large subset of NK cells, lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, adherent LAK (A-LAK) cells, subsets of activated CD8+ T lymphocytes, and small fractions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, but not mast cells (unlike the rat homolog, which is expressed on mast cells). KLRG1 expression is correlated with reduced proliferative capacity and effector functions of activated T lymphocytes and NK cells.
