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 G-25.2 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD11a which is also known as Leukocyte function-associated molecule 1 alpha chain (LFA-1A or LFA-1α). CD11a is a ~180 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ITGAL (Integrin subunit alpha L) that belongs to integrin α-chain family. CD11a is a leucocyte adhesion receptor that noncovalently complexes with CD18 to form the LFA-1 heterodimer (CD11a/CD18) which binds to intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) expressed on target tissues including ICAM-1 (CD54), ICAM-2 (CD102), ICAM-3 (CD50), ICAM-4, or ICAM-5. The CD11a antigen is expressed on virtually all normal peripheral blood leucocytes. It is essential for many immune responses that require cell-to-cell contact, such as lymphocyte adhesion, natural killer (NK) and T-lymphocyte cytolysis, and T lymphocyte proliferation. Activation of lymphocytes through the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) upregulates LFA-1 function, converting the antigen to a high-avidity state. Expression of LFA-1 on monocytes is upregulated by γ-interferon (IFN-γ). While normal cells possess both the α and β LFA-1 chains, cells of subjects with some leukemias, lymphomas, or leucocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) may lack the entire LFA-1 molecule or the α or β chain. The absence of LFA-1 on tumor cells may provide a mechanism for their escape from immune surveillance.
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.
