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 BMA-12 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD100 which is also known as, Semaphorin-4D (Sema4D), or Collapsin-4 (Coll-4). CD100 is a ~150 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the class IV Semaphorin subfamily within the Ig gene superfamily. CD100 is expressed by cells from a broad range of tissues including the nervous system, where it serves in axon guidance and synapse formation, and the kidney. It is expressed by most hematopoietic cells including T cells which express CD100 more abundantly than B cells and dendritic cell subsets. Its expression is significantly upregulated upon activation of these cell types. CD100 can costimulate T cell responses. For B cells and dendritic cells, CD100 interaction with its ligands, CD72 or Plexin B1, induces cellular activation and promotes survival, respectively. CD100 is also known to interact with Plexin B2 on skin gamma delta T cells and contribute to the repair of tissue damage caused by inflammation. A biologically-active, soluble form of CD100 is generated by proteolytic cleavage of the cell surface form.
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.
