Streptavidin alexa 647

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Streptavidin Alexa 647 is a fluorescent conjugate of streptavidin and the Alexa Fluor 647 dye. Streptavidin is a tetrameric protein that binds to the small molecule biotin with high affinity. The Alexa Fluor 647 dye provides a strong red fluorescent signal that can be detected using standard fluorescence detection methods.

BEAS-2B:MR1_KO cells, either untransfected, or transfected with pCI empty vector, pCI_MR1AGFP, and/or pCI_MR1BRFP, were plated into 6 well tissue culture plates overnight. The next day, the cells were treated with 100 µM 6-FP versus an equivalent volume of 0.01 M NaOH. After 16 h, the cells were harvested on ice and split into two groups for primary staining and isotype control staining. Primary staining was done with an antibody against MR1 (Clone 26.5, gift from Ted Hansen, biotinylated by Biolegend, San Diego, USA) at 1:100 for 40 min on ice in the presence of 2% human serum, 2% goat serum, and 0.5% FBS. Biotinylated mouse anti IgG2A (Biolegend, San Diego, USA) served as the isotype control. After washing, streptavidin-Alexa 647 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, USA) was added for 40 min on ice. Cells were washed, fixed in 1% PFA and analyzed by flow cytometry on a BD Fortessa, or BD Symphony and data were analyzed on FlowJo (TreeStar, Ashland, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immature day 5 moDCs were harvested and washed with cold HBSS (Thermo Fischer), after which half of the moDCs were gently fixed for 20 min at RT with 1% PFA in PBS. Afterwards, 20 μM of the different biotinylated mannose-clusters in cold HBSS were added. The moDCs were incubated for 1 h on ice, and washed in cold HBSS. Subsequently, warm HBSS was added to the cells, and cells were incubated at 37°C in a shaking heating block. At the indicated time points, a sample of the cells was taken and put on ice. After the last time point, the cells were stained with Streptavidin-Alexa647 (Thermo Fisher), measured using flow cytometry (CyAn™ ADP with Summit™ Software), and further analyzed using FlowJo v10. The same procedure was used for internalization with pHrodoTM Red Avidin (Thermo Fischer). The different biotinylated mannose-clusters were however incubated with pHrodo-Avidin (ratio 2:1) for 15 min at 37°C, prior to moDC exposure. The fluorescence upon internalization was measured using flow cytometry (BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 with FACSDiva Software), and further analyzed using FlowJo v10.

The cells were harvested and washed with cold (4°C) HBSS, before preincubation with 20 μg/mL anti-CD207 [clone 10E2, in-house (de Witte et al., 2007 (link))] for 45 min on ice in the blocking condition, with 1% PFA in PBS for 20 min on room temperature (RT) in the gently fixated condition, or without pretreatment; 20 μM of the hexavalent biotinylated mannosides was added to the cells in cold HBSS and incubated for 1 h at 4°C. The unbound clusters were washed away with cold HBSS. Warm (37°C) HBSS was added to the cells followed by incubation at 37°C in a shaking heating block. At the indicated time points, a sample was taken and put on ice. The cells were then stained with streptavidin-Alexa647 (Thermo Fisher), and the fluorescence was quantified with flow cytometric analysis (CyAnTM APD with SummitTM software) and analyzed with FlowJo v10.

Three independent biological replicates were obtained for comparative profiling of purified P0 Notch1+, P3 Notch1+, P7 Notch1+, P14 Notch1+, and P14 Glast+ cells. Two independent biological replicates were obtained for comparative profiling of purified P7 Glast+, P21 Glast+ and P28 Glast+ cells. RNA was purified from samples using the Absolutely RNA® Nanoprep kit (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). RNA samples were sent to Ocean Ridge Biosciences (Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA) for processing using MEEBO microarrays. Biotin-labeled complementary RNA (cRNA) was prepared from the total RNA according to Van Gelder’s protocol [21 (link)]. Biotinylated cRNA samples were fragmented, diluted in a hybridization buffer, and loaded on to the MEEBO microarray slides (for more information on the MEEBO oligonucleotide set please refer to http://alizadehlab.stanford.edu/). The slides were hybridized for 16–18 hours in a Model 400 hybridization oven (Scigene, Sunnyvale, CA). After hybridization, the microarray slides were washed, stained with Streptavidin-Alexa-647 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY), and scanned using an Axon GenePix 4000B scanner (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA).

The Ca2+ flux assay was performed as previously described [25 (link)]. In brief, cell samples were suspended at a density of 107 cells per ml in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and loaded with 2 mM Indo-1 AM (acetoxymethyl) for 30 min at 37 °C, followed by washing twice with culture RPMI. Cells were pre-warmed to 37 °C for 10 min before analysis and were kept at 37 °C in culture RPMI during the event collection. For cell stimulation, an HLA-A*02:01-L2 monomer was pre-refolded, biotinylated [26 (link)], and crosslinked with streptavidin Alexa 647 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to form the antigen tetramer. Cells were then stimulated with monomers or tetramers. The mean fluorescence ratio of Indo-1 high to Indo-1 low was calculated using FlowJo (Version 10) kinetics program.

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.
