CD123 is the 70 kD transmembrane α chain of the IL-3 receptor. Alone, CD123 binds IL-3 with low affinity, when CD123 associates with CDw131 (common β chain), it binds IL-3 with high affinity. CD123 does not transduce intracellular signals upon binding IL-3 and requires the β chain for this function. CD123 is expressed by myeloid precursors, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, basophils, megakaryocytes, and some B cells.

Assay Procedure
Take 100 μL peripheral blood anticoagulated by EDTA and add to the bottom of 5 mLtube,
Add 10 μL labeled antibody to the bottom of flow tube mixing with the whole blood, incubate for 20 minutes at room temperature away from light,
Add 2 ml1×RBC lysis buffer, incubate for 10 minutes away from light after mixing, dissolve red blood cells (recommended: RBC lysing Solution 10×,Cat.: FXP001),
Sample tube is set to 1000 rpm centrifugation for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant,
Add 2 mLPBS wash buffer to resuspend the cells, then1000 rpm centrifugation for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant,
Add 0.5 mLPBS wash buffer to resuspend the cells and detect by flow cytometry (sample should be determined on the day on the machine and can also be added fixation overnight at 4 °C then measured).
