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 cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The TS2/16 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD29 which is also known as Integrin beta-1 (Integrin β1 or β1 Integrin), Glycoprotein IIa (GPIIA), Very late activation protein beta (VLA-beta; VLAB), and Fibronectin receptor subunit beta (FNRB). CD29 is an ~130 kDa single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ITGB1 (Integrin subunit beta 1). β1 integrins constitute the largest subgroup of integrins as they form noncovalent heterodimeric complexes with at least 12 different alpha integrin (Integrin α) subunits. These heterodimeric β1 integrins mediate a variety of interactions between cells and between cells and the extracellular matrix that are involved in cellular signaling, growth, survival, adhesion, and migration. The family of heterodimeric β1 integrins includes receptors for vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen, fibronectin, laminin, and vitronectin, and some microbial ligands. The β1 integrin subunit is widely expressed on hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells including T and B cells, dendritic cells (DC), NK cells, monocytes and macrophages, granulocytes, as well as mast cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and stem cells. Platelets express high levels of CD29 (β1 integrin) and may be bound to leucocytes from human blood. Gating out cells expressing the platelet marker CD41a will avoid attributing platelet CD29 (β1 integrin) expression to attached leucocytes. The TS2/16 antibody is reportedly useful for multiple applications including flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and functional studies.
