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 CompBead 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.
- 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 8D7 monoclonal antibody recognizes Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGPR 1), also known as Hepatic lectin H1 (HL-1). ASGPR 1 is an approximately 42 kDA type II integral membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of hepatic cells. It is expressed by hepatocytes on the sinusoidal-lateral plasma membrane but not on the bile canalicular membrane. ASGPR 1 plays a role in serum glycoprotein homeostasis. It functions as a subunit of the Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) complex that binds, internalizes, and transports various glycoproteins for lysosomal degradation. The receptor may also promote hepatic infection by the binding and uptake of various viruses. The immunogen used to generate the 8D7 hybridoma was rat liver membrane extracts. Rat ASGPR consists of three polypeptide subunits (Rat hepatic lectin 1-3 (RHL1-3). The 8D7 antibody has been shown to react with a subunit-specific epitope on RHL-1. Clone 8D7 cross-reacts with human ASGPR 1.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon Red 718, which has been developed exclusively for BD Biosciences as a better alternative to Alexa Fluor® 700. BD Horizon Red 718 can be excited by the red laser (628 – 640 nm) and, with an Em Max around 718 nm, it can be detected using a 730/45 nm filter. Due to similar excitation and emission properties, we do not recommend using R718 in combination with APC-R700 or Alexa Fluor® 700.
