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
- When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid fragments produced by ammonium chloride-based lysis, such as with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899), has been observed when the antibody conjugate was present during the lysis procedure. This may cause nonspecific staining of target cells, such as leukocytes, which have bound the resulting erythroid fragments. This background can be mitigated by any of the following: titrating the antibody conjugate to a lower concentration, fixing samples with formaldehyde, or removing erythrocytes before staining (eg, gradient centrifugation or pre-lysis with wash). This background has not been observed when cells were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202) after staining.
- 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.
- 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.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.

- 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.
Companion Products
The Trastuzumab297.rMAb (also known as Trastuzumab N297A Biosimilar.rMAb) is a research grade, chimeric recombinant human IgG1 kappa antibody that specifically recognizes the extracellular domain of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (also known as HER2, HER-2, ErbB2, NEU, or CD340) similarly to the therapeutic Trastuzumab antibody. The Trastuzumab297.rMAb uses the same variable region sequences as Trastuzumab, combined with constant region sequences derived from consensus sequences of human IgG1, kappa. The asparagine at position 297 of the constant heavy chain has been replaced with alanine (N297A) to further reduce Fc receptor interactions of this reagent. Trastuzumab is a humanized therapeutic monoclonal antibody that was originally made by inserting the immunoglobulin (Ig) variable region sequences of the human HER-2-specific mouse monoclonal, 4D5. HER2 is a ~185 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ERBB2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) which belongs to the ERBB family of receptor tyrosine kinases that includes EGFR (HER1), HER3, and HER4. Members of this receptor subfamily mediate the proliferation and differentiation of normal cells. Although HER2 has no identified direct-binding ligand, it forms signaling heterodimeric receptors with other ligand-bound ERBB family members. HER2 activates intracellular signaling pathways including MAPK and PI-3K through its cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase-containing region. HER2 is expressed by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. It is overexpressed and plays a significant role in the development of multiple human cancers including some leukemias, neuroblastomas, and carcinomas.
The Trastuzumab297.rMAb is intended for research use only. It is not intended for use in therapeutic or diagnostic procedures for humans or animals.
