Live dead fixable blue dead cell stain kit for uv excitation

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The LIVE/DEAD Fixable Blue Dead Cell Stain Kit for UV Excitation is a fluorescent dye-based reagent used to distinguish between live and dead cells. The dye binds to proteins in dead cells, emitting a fluorescent signal that can be detected using flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. The kit is designed for use with UV excitation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to compare the phenotype of liver, spleen, and PB NK cells, we performed multiparametric flow cytometry. Lymphocytes harvested from fetal liver, fetal spleen, adult liver, adult spleen, and PB were freshly stained ex vivo. Cells were counted, and viability was assessed by trypan blue before staining. 106 cells in 100 μL PBS were aliquoted into 5 mL FACS tubes. LIVE/DEAD fixable blue dead cell stain kit for UV excitation (ThermoFisher) was added for 7–10 min in the dark at RT. Extracellular antibodies were added for 20 min at RT (see Table S1 for all antibodies used in this study). For intranuclear staining of Tbet and EOMES, cells were washed with 2 mL of FACs buffer after extracellular antibodies, then resuspended in 1 mL of TONBO FOXp3/Transcription Factor Fix/Perm buffer (TONBO Biosciences) for 30 min at RT. After permeabilization, cells were washed with 2 mL of TONBO wash buffer. Intra-nuclear antibodies (anti-Tbet-BV711 and anti-EOMES-PerCP/Cy5.5) were added and incubated for 30 min at RT. Cells were washed with TONBO wash buffer, then FACS buffer and resuspended in a final concentration of 1% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and kept at 4°C in the dark until acquisition on a BD LSR Fortessa with 18 color configuration.

Fixation and permeabilisation of cells was performed using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer Set (ThermoFisherScientific) according to the manual. To block unspecific binding of antibodies, cells were incubated for 10 min at 4°C with CohnII and subsequently, antibodies directed against intracellular epitopes (GzmB AF647 (GB11), CTLA-4 PE (L3D10), Ki67 AF488 (Ki-67), CD3 APC-Cy7 (HIT3a) from BioLegend, Perforin BV421 (δG9) from BD) were added and further incubated for 20 min at 4°C. Samples were recorded using the LSRII (BD) and analyzed using the FlowJo X 10.0.7r2 Treestar software. Gates were set according to fluorescence minus one (FMO) controls. Gating strategy is depicted in Supplementary Figure 5.

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.
