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 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 CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. 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.

The 174031 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD354 which is also known as Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) or Triggering receptor expressed on monocytes 1. CD354 (TREM-1) is a ~30 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Trem1 which belongs to the V-set domain containing family within the Ig superfamily. CD354 (TREM-1) can associate with DAP12, an adaptor protein that contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM), to deliver an activating signal intracellularly. It is expressed on neutrophils and some monocytes and macrophages with upregulated expression triggered in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure. CD354 (TREM-1) appears to play important roles in inflammation and septic shock by inducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines including TNF and MCP-1/CCL2. A soluble form of TREM-1 may be released by cells and serve as an inhibitor of cell surface TREM-1 function.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max near 407 nm and Em Max near 421 nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser (405 nm) and detected with a 450/50 nm filter. BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific BlueTM conjugates. Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, BD Horizon BV421, Pacific Blue, and BD Horizon V450 cannot be used simultaneously.
