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.
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.
- 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.

The RUU-PL7F12 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD61, a 110 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein, also known as Glycoprotein IIIa (gpIIIa), the common β-subunit (integrin β3-chain) of the gpIIb/IIIa complex and the vitronectin receptor (VNR). The gpIIb/IIIa complex and the VNR are integrins, ie, α/β-heterodimeric glycoprotein complexes that are involved in cell adhesion. With the CD41 antigen (gpIIb or αIIb), the CD61 antigen forms the gpIIb/IIIa complex, which acts as a receptor for fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (vWf), fibronectin, and vitronectin on activated platelets. With the CD51 antigen (VNR α-chain or αv), the CD61 antigen forms the VNR, which mediates activation-independent cell adhesion to vitronectin, vWf, fibrinogen, and thrombospondin. The CD61 antigen is found on all normal resting and activated platelets. Platelets from individuals with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia show a >90% reduction of binding of CD61, and heterozygote carriers of the disorder show approximately 50% reduction. The CD61 antigen is also found on endothelial cells, megakaryocytes, and on some myeloid, erythroid, and T-lymphoid leukemic cell lines.
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.
