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.
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.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.

- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.

The VIM15 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD92 which is also known as Solute carrier family 44 member 1 (SLC44A1), or Choline transporter-like protein 1 (CHTL1). CD92 is a multipass membrane glycoprotein that belongs to the choline transporter-like family. It contains a tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic C-terminus. CD92 appears to be involved in choline transport for cell membrane phospholipid synthesis and in regulatory cell-signaling pathways. CD92 is strongly expressed by monocytes and at lower levels by granulocytes and some dendritic cells. It is generally expressed at low levels by B cells, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and subsets of T cells, or NK cells. The VIM15 antibody has been shown to augment lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-10 production by monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DC). When cultured with ionomycin or calcium ionophore, maturing Mo-DC showed downregulation of CD92 expression.
