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
- 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.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The 1B1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD1d, a 48-kDa glycoprotein with structural homology to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. The structure, expression, and functions of CD1 antigens are complex and have been reviewed. MAb 1B1 detects CD1d at varying levels on most types of bone marrow and peripheral leukocytes and on epithelial, dendritic, and lymphoid cells in the thymus. It appears to recognize CD1d only in association with β2m. CD1d has been reported to be expressed by gastrointestinal tract epithelium and in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes via immunohistochemical staining of frozen sections with mAb 3C11 (Cat. No. 559871, for the purified antibody), suggesting a possible role for CD1d in mucosal immunity. However, CD1d expression was not detectable via flow cytometry on intestinal epithelial cells in studies using the anti-CD1d mAbs 3C11, 1B1, and 9C7. The 1B1 antibody competes with mAb 3C11 in binding to mouse splenocytes.
