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 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 cell and CompBead to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.
- 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.
- PerCP-Cy5.5–labelled antibodies can be used with FITC- and R-PE–labelled reagents in single-laser flow cytometers with no significant spectral overlap of PerCP-Cy5.5, FITC, and R-PE fluorescence.
- PerCP-Cy5.5 is optimized for use with a single argon ion laser emitting 488-nm light. Because of the broad absorption spectrum of the tandem fluorochrome, extra care must be taken when using dual-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PerCP and Cy5.5™. We recommend the use of cross-beam compensation during data acquisition or software compensation during data analysis.

The MH22B2 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human Interleukin-22 (IL-22), which is encoded by the IL22 gene. Cross-reactivity of MH22B2 mAb to mouse IL-22 (which shares 79% amino acid identity with human IL-22) has been observed by ELISA and by flow cytometry of HEK293 cells transfected with mouse IL-22 and TH17-differentiated CD4-positive T cells from C57BL/6 mice. IL-22 (with or without other cytokines) is secreted by many T-cell and innate-lymphoid-cell populations. Evidence that IL-22 plays a key role in mucosal immunity includes the restricted expression of the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric IL-22 receptor, called IL-22R1, on epithelial cells and cells of epithelial origin. At epithelial surfaces, IL-22 elicits antimicrobial defenses and maintains epithelial integrity. Alternatively, uncontrolled IL-22 production can result in certain inflammatory disorders. Regulation of IL-22 expression is complex, involving other cytokines (eg, IL-6, IL-23, and TGF-β) and many transcription factors, (eg, AHR, c-Maf, STAT3, RORɤT, BATF, and others).
