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. This will ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).
Note: When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid cell subsets (mature erythrocytes and precursors) has been observed. For researchers studying these cell populations, or in cases where light scatter gating does not adequately exclude these cells from the analysis, this background may be an important factor to consider when selecting reagents for panel(s).

The SA14-2 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes mouse CD14. CD14 is an ~55-kDa glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-linked cell-surface glycoprotein that is encoded by Cd14. CD14 is expressed on macrophages, granulocytes, dendritic cells, hepatocytes, and Kupffer cells. CD14 is also expressed in a soluble form (sCD14). CD14 is a leucine-rich repeat-containing pattern recognition receptor which serves as coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria. CD14 forms a complex with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin from gram-negative bacteria, with LPS-binding protein (LBP, a plasma protein). The LPS-LPB-CD14 complex can then associate with TLR4-MD-2 which transduces intracellular signals. In this way, CD14 can play roles in innate cellular anti-bacterial immune and inflammatory responses, such as through the stimulation of cellular IL-1 and TNF production, and in extreme cases, the development of endotoxic shock.
