Lsr 2 digital flow cytometer

Manufactured by BD

The BD LSR II digital flow cytometer is an instrument designed for the detection and analysis of cells and particles in a fluid sample. It utilizes laser technology to measure and characterize the physical and fluorescent properties of individual cells or particles as they pass through the instrument's flow cell. The LSR II provides high-performance detection and data acquisition capabilities for a wide range of applications in fields such as immunology, cell biology, and disease research.

Spleens from infected animals were dissociated, and single-cell suspensions were stained with the following antibodies from BioLegend: anti-GL7, anti-CD138, anti-CD19, anti-CD45.1, anti-CD8, anti-CD4, anti-Thy1.1, anti-Thy1.2, anti-CD11c, anti-CD11b, and anti-IgM. 7-Aminoactinomycin D and counting beads (Flow Cytometry Absolute Count Standard) were added to each sample before acquisition to allow calculation of cells per sample. Intracellular cytokine staining was performed by standard methods, staining intracellularly with anti–IFN-γ and anti-TNFα (BioLegend). Intracellular granzyme B and LCMV were detected using anti–granzyme B or anti-LCMV antibodies, respectively. Samples were acquired using an LSR II digital flow cytometer (BD Biosciences), and data were analyzed using FlowJo software version 10.0.7 (Tree Star).

Blood was collected from B6 mice in heparinized capillary tubes and placed into FACS buffer (PBS plus 2% FBS). Red blood cells were lysed by addition of ACK lysis buffer and were incubated for 5–10 min at RT. Cells were pelleted and stained in FACS buffer with CD11b PE/Cy7 (M1/70), Ly6C Alexa Fluor 488 or Brilliant Violet 570 (HK1.4), Ly6G Pacific Blue (1A8), CD115 APC (AFS98). All directly conjugated antibodies purchased from BioLegend. Samples were acquired using an LSR II digital flow cytometer (BD), and data were analyzed using FlowJo software version 10.0.7 (Tree Star).

The left lung lobe was excised post BAL, crudely dissociated using the GentleMACS™ tissue dissociator (Miltenyi Biotech, Germany) and digested upon incubation at 37°C in buffer containing 1 mg/mL collagenase Type XI and 80 units/mL Bovine Pancreatic DNase Type IV (both Sigma-Aldrich, Dorset, UK). For intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) cells were stimulated with PMA (50 ng/mL) and ionomycin (500 ng/mL) with BD GolgiStop™ (BD Biosciences) for 3 h at 37°C. Lung and BAL cells were incubated with anti-mouse CD16/CD32 (FC Block, BD Biosciences) prior to staining for cell surface markers: CD3e (clone 500A2), CD4 (clone RM4-5), CD8a (clone 53-6.7), NK1.1 (clone PK136), NKp46 (clone 29A1.4) and CD69 (clone H1.2F3) (all BD Biosciences). Cells were washed and stained with Live/Dead fixable dead cell stain kit (Invitrogen), followed by incubation with BD Fix/Perm solution (BD Biosciences). For ICS, cells were stained for IFN-γ (clone XMG1.2, BD Biosciences) and granzyme B (clone GB12, Invitrogen) in BD PermWash™ (BD Biosciences). Data were acquired using a BD LSR II digital flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and BD FACS Diva software. Analysis was performed using FlowJo 9.3.1.2 software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
