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® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. 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).

The CC2C6 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD47 which is also known as Integrin-associated protein (IAP), Rh-related antigen, Ovarian carcinoma antigen (OA3), MER6, or neutrophilin. CD47 is a 42-52 kDa N-linked glycan protein which has an extracellular N-terminal IgV-like domain followed by 5 transmembrane segments and a short C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. CD47 is expressed on all hematopoietic cells, including leucocytes, platelets, and erythrocytes except for Rh-negative erythrocytes. It is also expressed on epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and many tumor cell lines. CD47 binds to and activates the inhibitory Signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) expressed on phagocytic cells. This trans interaction inhibits phagocytosis and protects CD47-positive cells, including "self" blood cells like erythrocytes, from phagocytosis. CD47 binds to thrombospondin-1 which regulates cell adhesion and migration and plays a role in the regulation of inflammation and angiogenesis. CD47 can also interact with integrins which can affect various cellular functions including cellular adhesion, spreading, and migration. The CC2C6 antibody can reportedly inhibit the interaction between CD47 and SIRPα.
