Fix permeabilization buffer

Manufactured by BD

The Fix/Permeabilization buffer is a laboratory reagent used to fix and permeabilize cells for the purpose of immunostaining or other analysis techniques. It maintains the cellular structure while allowing for the penetration of antibodies or other reagents into the cells.

Pulmonary macrophages were isolated as described above. Macrophages were then incubated with C. neoformans cna1Δ at a 1:1 ratio at 37°C in 5% CO2 in RPMI without phenol red plus 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies) for 2 h. Golgi plug (Brefeldin A; BD Biosciences) was added according to manufacturer's recommendations and incubated for an additional 4 h. (6 h. total). Cells were washed with 1X PBS and stained with Zombie viability dye (Cat No 423104; Biolegend) at room temperature in the dark for 15 mins then washed with 1x PBS. Cells were stained for surface markers CD45, CD64, and CD11b (S3 Table) and incubated at 4°C for 30 mins. Cells were washed and fixed with Fix/Permeabilization buffer (BD Biosciences) for 20 mins. Cells were washed with 1X Perm/wash buffer (BD Biosciences) and stained for intracellular markers IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α (S3 Table) for 30 min at 4°C. Cells were washed with 1X Perm/wash buffer and fixed with 2% ultra-pure formaldehyde (Life Technologies). Analysis was performed in triplicate and analyzed using ImageStreamX IDEAS 6.2 software (Millipore) after 100,000 cells were collected.

Erythroid Maturation Profiling by Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow and fetal liver single cell suspensions were prepared and maintained in IMDM + 15% FBS, washed twice, pre-incubated with 10% rat serum and stained with CD71-FITC, CD44-APC and TER119-PE or -FITC antibodies (BD Biosciences). Gating to distinguish erythroid populations according to their stage of maturation was performed as in [44 (link)]. Freshly isolated bone marrow cells stained with CD44-APC and TER119-FITC, were fixed with fix/permeabilization buffer (BD Biosciences) and incubated with 1:100 dilution of anti-pSer473 AKT and pSer235/236 S6 antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat #9271 and #4858, respectively) followed by incubation with 1:1000 dilution of PE-conjugated secondary antibody (BD Biosciences) to measure intracellular AKT and S6 phosphorylation. Samples were washed and protein phosphorylation was analyzed by flow cytometry. Data was analyzed by FlowJo software (Treestar).

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.
