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
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- 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.
- 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.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
Companion Products
The 15D3 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes P-glycoprotein which is also known as CD243, ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) or Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1). P-glycoprotein is a ~170 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein protein that spans the membrane 12 times. P-glycoprotein acts as an ATP-dependent efflux pump for a large variety of drugs. It may be expressed at high levels by multidrug resistant (MDR) tumor cells. This efflux activity may lead to cellular resistance to the drugs used in chemotherapy. P-glycoprotein is present in many normal cell types including endothelial, epithelial, or secretory cells, and might protect them from naturally occurring xenobiotics.
