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.
- 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.
- Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.
- 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 H194-112 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD26, which is also known as, Thymocyte-activating molecule (THAM), or dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV, Dpp4). CD26 is a ~220- kDa dimer formed of identical type-II transmembrane core polypeptides which undergo variable post-translational modifications. It is a multi-functional molecule with both ectopeptidase and signal-transducing activities. Studies with specific DPP IV inhibitors suggest that the enzymatic activity is involved in the mediation of T-cell activation events. The expression of CD26 is developmentally regulated in the thymus. Resting lymphoid cells of the bone marrow and peripheral B and T lymphocytes express low levels of CD26; bone-marrow and peritoneal myeloid cells do not. CD26 is also found on epithelial cells in the kidney, liver, small intestine, and lung. Cross-linked H194-112 mAb induces proliferation of immature and mature thymocytes in the presence of either IL-1 plus IL-2 or PMA; addition of IL-2 or IL-4 to PMA further enhances the activation.
