Isotype matched irrelevant antibodies

Manufactured by BD

Isotype-matched irrelevant antibodies are a type of laboratory reagent used in immunoassays and other applications. They are antibodies that do not recognize the target antigen of interest, but share the same isotype as the primary antibody being used in the experiment. These antibodies serve as a control to help distinguish specific binding from non-specific background signals.

The expression of CD44, P63 and ABCG2 markers (as stemness markers of LESCs), was evaluated using flow cytometry. The cultured LESCs were harvested and re-suspended in PBS. Then the cells were rinsed with cold wash buffer (PBs containing 2% FBS and 0.1% sodium azide (Merck). Cells that were to be marked with surface antibodies (CD44 and ABCG2) were incubated with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD44 and APC-conjugated mouse anti-human ABCG2 (BD Pharmingen Inc) for 30 min at room temperature in dark. Cell staining with isotype-matched irrelevant antibodies (BD Pharmingen) was also performed. For intracellular staining cells were fixed with 1% cell fix for 5 minutes at 4°C and washed with 1 mL of ice-cold PBS. Then 0.2% saponin was added and incubated for 10 minutes. Then cells were centrifuged and incubated on ice with rabbit anti-human P63-α primary antibody for 1 h. Afterward, cells were washed twice with PBS and incubated with 10 μL FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Santa Cruz) secondary antibody for 30 minutes at room temperature in dark. Then cells were rinsed and analyzed with FACS CALIBUR flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, USA). Final data were analyzed by version 7.6 of FlowJo® software. Unstained controls were used as negative controls in the histograms to detect the percentage of positive cells.

For TLR2 staining, 5×105 living cells were incubated with 5 μg/ml of Alexa fluor 488-conjugated anti-TLR2 antibody (BD) diluted in PBS-BSA for 30 min. All incubations were performed on ice. For TLR4 staining, cells were first incubated with biotin-conjugated anti-TLR4 (BD) for 60 min. After three washes, cells were stained with PE-Cy5.5-conjugated streptavidin (Invitrogen, USA) for 30 min. In negative reagent control tubes, isotype matched irrelevant antibodies (BD) were used instead of primary antibodies. Monocyte gate of PBMC served as the positive control. After three washing steps with PBS-BSA, cells were analyzed by Partec flowcytometer (Partec, Germany).
