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.
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).
Product Notices
- 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.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- 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.

- BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is covered by one or more of the following US patents: 8,110,673; 8,158,444; 8,575,303; 8,354,239.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.

- Although every effort is made to minimize the lot-to-lot variation in the efficiency of the fluorochrome energy transfer, differences in the residual emission from BD Horizon™ BV421 may be observed. Therefore, we recommend that individual compensation controls be performed for every BD Horizon™ BV605 conjugate.
- BD Horizon Brilliant Violet 605 is covered by one or more of the following US patents: 8,110,673; 8,158,444; 8,227,187; 8,455,613; 8,575,303; 8,354,239.

The mCD84.7.rMAb is a recombinant monoclonal antibody that was derived from mCD84.7 hybridoma cells. This antibody specifically recognizes CD84 which is also known as Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule 5 (SLAM family member 5 or Slamf5). CD84 is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Cd84 (CD84 antigen) which belongs to the SLAM family within the CD2-subset of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) of cell surface receptors. CD84 is comprised of an extracellular region with one N-terminal Ig-like V-type (IgV) domain followed by one Ig-like C2-type (IgC2) domain. Its cytoplasmic tail contains two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs (ITSMs) and serves as a docking site for activating adaptor molecules, SLAM-associated protein (SAP) or EWS-activated transcript 2 (EAT-2), or inhibitory SH2-binding phosphatases. CD84 is variably expressed on B cells, T cells, NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes, mast cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, and platelets. CD84 is a homotypic adhesion molecule that can function as a coreceptor in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses including the enhancement of T cell proliferation and cytokine production.
