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 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 CompBead 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.
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
- 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.
- 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).
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

- When excited by the yellow-green (561-nm) laser, the fluorescence may be brighter than when excited by the blue (488-nm) laser.

Companion Products
The C9Mab-1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 9 (CCR9), which is also known as CD199. CCR9 is an ~42 kDa seven-transmembrane protein in the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) supergene family. It is upregulated by CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes, then downregulated in committed CD4+ or CD8+ single-positive thymocytes. CCR9 is also expressed on small intestinal B cells, subsets of memory CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, and dendritic cells. CCR9 binds CCL25, which is also known as thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK) or small inducible chemokine 25 (Scya25). CCL25 is highly expressed in the thymic cortex and small intestinal epithelium. CCR9 is involved in T cell development and gut-associated immune functions via lymphocyte recruitment to the gastrointestinal tract.
