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
- 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.

- Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).

The mAb I3/2.3 recognizes mouse CD45, which is also known as the leukocyte common antigen (L-CA or LCA), T200, or Lymphocyte antigen 5 (Ly-5). CD45 is a 180-240 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Ptprc (protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C) which belongs to the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. CD45 is variably expressed on thymocytes and other hematopoietic cells except mature erythrocytes and platelets. Different isoforms of CD45 arise from alternative splicing of variable exons 4, 5, and 6, which encode A, B, and C determinants, respectively, that encode extracellular domains of the transmembrane receptor. The differential expression of these isoforms is related to the cell's lineage as well as its state of activation and maturation. The mAb I3/2.3 reportedly recognizes all CD45 isoforms. CD45 plays key roles as a protein tyrosine-protein phosphatase in leucocyte responses including signal pathways transduced by antigen specific receptors expressed on T cells (TCRs) and B cells (BCRs).
