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.

- 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).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

The V13-864 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CX3C motif chemokine Ligand 1 (CX3CL1), which is also known as fractalkine. CX3CL1 (Fractalkine) is the only known member of the CX3C chemokine subfamily and is expressed as both membrane-bound and secreted forms. Unlike other chemokines, CX3CL1is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and not significantly expressed on peripheral blood leukocytes. CX3CL1's receptor is known as CX3CR1 and is expressed on cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, and monocytes. Overexpression of CX3CL1 (Fractalkine) in some malignant tumors may contribute to the recruitment of effectors for innate and adaptive immunity.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ Red 718, which has been developed exclusively by 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.
