Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS: Method: 1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cellpopulation. 2. Wash 2 times. 3. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x10e7 cells/ml in media A. Add 50 µl of thissuspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1 x 10e6 cells, representing 1 test). 4. To each tube, add 0. 1 - 0. 5 µg of antibody per 10e6 cells. 5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells. 6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C. (It is recommended that the tubes areprotected from light, since most fluorochromes are light sensitive. )7. Wash 2 times at 4°C. 8. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 µl ice cold media B. 9. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 µl of propidiumiodide at 0. 5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA. Media: A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7. 2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide(100 µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls). B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7. 2) + 0. 5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).

Target Details for Ly6g

Target: Ly6g (Lymphocyte Antigen 6 Complex, Locus G (Ly6g))

Alternative Name: Ly6G / GR1 Neutrophil Marker (Ly6g Products)

Synonyms: Gr-1 antibody, Gr1 antibody, Ly-6G antibody, lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus G antibody, Ly6g antibody

Background: GR-1 is a 25-30 kDa cell surface antigen and is expressed on myeloid cells but not lymphoid or erythroid cells. The expression of the Gr-1 antigen increases with granulocyte maturation (3) as shown by the distinct populations of bone-marrow cells this monoclonal antibody labels: negative, low positive and high positive. Expression is transient on cells of monocytic lineage (3).Synonyms: Gr-1 Granulocyte marker

Gene ID: 10090

UniProt: P35461
