Application Notes
This antibody is suitable for studies of myeloid differentiation stages and their regulationsby cytokines. Applications include Flow Cytometry (1,2,3) complement-mediated depletion(4), Western blot staining (5) and both Frozen and Paraffin Sections (6). Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
Protocol
FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS: Method: 1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cellpopulation with cell separation medium. 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. 2 µg* of ABIN114273. 5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells. 6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C. 7. Wash 2 times at 4°C. 8. Add 100 µl of secondary antibody FITC Goat anti-rat IgG (H+L) . 9. Incubate tubes at 4°C for 30 - 60 minutes (It is recommended that tubes are protectedfrom light since most fluorochromes are light sensitive). 10. Wash 2 times at 4°C. 11. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 µl ice cold media B. 12. 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).
