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.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).
Product Notices
- 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.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- 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 4H9 (Leu-9) monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human CD7 which is also known as T-cell leukemia antigen, T-cell surface antigen Leu-9, and LEU-9. CD7 is a ~40 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that has an extracellular region with an N-terminal IgV-like domain followed by an extended O-glycosylated stalk region, a transmembrane region and cytoplasmic tail. The CD7 antigen is expressed throughout T-lymphocyte differentiation. It is present on 85% to 90% of peripheral blood T lymphocytes. In normal individuals, CD7 is expressed on all CD8+ lymphocytes, approximately 90% of CD4+ lymphocytes, and most NK cells. CD7 is weakly expressed on monocytes but not on granulocytes or B lymphocytes. It is expressed on hematopoietic progenitors and 50% of thymocytes. In leukemias, the CD7 antigen is present on the majority of T-lymphoid lineages. CD7 may function in cellular adhesion and play a role in interactions between T cells as well as T cells and B cells.
