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 CompBead to ensure that BD CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

The Stat proteins function both as cytoplasmic signal transducers and as activators of transcription. Seven mammalian Stat proteins have been identified: Stat1-4, Stat5a, 5b, and Stat6. Stat4 has been shown to play an important role in development of T helper cells, specifically the Th1 subset. Stat4 is activated by IL-12 and by type 1 interferons. Knockout mice supported the role that Stat4 plays in IL-12 signaling because lymphocytes from Stat 4-/- mice could neither differentiate into Th1 cells nor produce IFN-γ in response to treatment with IL-12. IFN-γ plays an important role in host defense. A key component in the activation of Stat4 is the phosphorylation on tyrosine and serine residues in response to IL-12 stimulation. IL-12 stimulation leads to the phosphorylation of Stat4 on tyrosine 693 and serine 721. Transcriptional activity of Stat4 has been shown to be significantly reduced when residues Y693 and S721 are mutated.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon Red 718, which has been developed exclusively for BD Biosciences as a better alternative to Alexa Fluor® 700. BD Horizon Red 718 can be excited by the red laser (628 – 640 nm) and, with an Em Max around 718 nm, it can be detected using a 730/45 nm filter. Due to similar excitation and emission properties, we do not recommend using R718 in combination with APC-R700 or Alexa Fluor® 700.
