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
- 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.
- 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 T43-94 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes mouse Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 7B (Zbtb7b) which is also known as, T-helper-inducing POZ/Krueppel-like factor (Th-POK), Krueppel-related zinc finger protein cKrox (cKrox), or Zinc finger protein 67 (Zfp67). Zbtb7b is a Zn2+ finger-containing transcription factor that acts as a transcriptional repressor or activator in a promoter-dependent manner. Zbtb7b plays a role in thymic selection of T cells and is expressed in CD4+CD8+ thymocytes and mature CD4+CD8- thymocytes and T cells. It is not expressed by mature CD4-CD8+ thymocytes and T cells. It indirectly increases the expression of CD4 in developing T cells by antagonizing Runx-3-mediated CD4 repression. Zbtb7b expression has also been found in NKT and gamma/delta T cells. Zbtb7b plays a role in transcriptional repression of collagen gene expression as well.
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.
