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
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

The MAC2-158 monoclonal antibody (also known as Clone MAC 2-158) specifically binds to human CD163. CD163 is also known as Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130 (M130), SCARI1 (SR-I1), or Hemoglobin scavenger receptor (HbSR). CD163 is an ~130 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein comprised of an extracellular domain with nine cysteine-rich (SRCR) scavenger receptor class B domains followed by a transmembrane region and a short cytoplasmic tail. CD163 is expressed on most peripheral blood monocytes, tissue macrophages, and a subset of dendritic cells. CD163 serves as a high affinity receptor for hemoglobin and haptoglobin and mediates endocytosis of hemoglobin and haptoglobin complexes by macrophages. This scavenging function may protect tissues from hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage and contribute to the uptake and recycling of iron. CD163 can also reportedly bind to (TNF-a)-like weak inducer of the apoptosis (TWEAK) protein and some pathogenic bacteria. A cleaved, soluble form of CD163 can reportedly play an anti-inflammatory role and serve as a marker for macrophage activation in inflammatory responses. High-affinity binding of the MAC2-158 antibody to CD163 is reportedly unaffected by extracellular calcium levels. This clone can be used to measure CD163 expression in freshly drawn whole blood samples stabilized with commonly used anticoagulants, eg, EDTA, citrate or heparin.
