Allophycocyanin apc conjugated streptavidin

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

Allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated streptavidin is a fluorescent-labeled protein complex used in various biotechnology applications. Streptavidin is a protein derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii and has a high affinity for the small molecule biotin. APC is a natural fluorescent protein from blue-green algae that serves as the fluorescent label. This product combines the binding properties of streptavidin with the fluorescent characteristics of APC, allowing for the detection and visualization of biotinylated molecules.

Multi-colour flow cytometry analysis was performed as described previously [19 (link)]. Briefly, cells were incubated with a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies against rabbit CD4 (IgG2a, KEN-4), CD8 (IgG1, 12C.7) and IgM (IgG1, NRBM) on ice for 10 min. Cells were washed and further incubated for 10 min on ice with isotype-specific phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated rat anti-mouse IgG1 (A85-1, BD) and biotinylated rat anti-mouse IgG2a (R19-15, BD) antibodies. After a third wash, cells were incubated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-rabbit T cells (KEN-5), washed with allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated streptavidin (BD), and suspended in 7-AAD. Antibodies were from AbD-Serotec. Bovine CD8+ T cells were identified as previously described [18 (link)], and dead cells detected with BD Horizon Fixable Viability Stain 450 (BD biosciences). Data were acquired using a Fortessa X20 flow cytometer (BD) and analyzed using Flowjo v10.0.7 (Treestar).

FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD45R/B220 (RA3-6B2, 5 μg ml−1), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD4 (RM4–5, 5 μg ml−1), biotinylated anti-mouse CD4 (RM4–5, 2.5 μg ml−1), PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD8a (53-6.7, 1 μg ml−1), PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD44 (IM7, 1 μg ml−1), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD62L (MEL-14, 5 μg ml−1), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse Vα11 (RR8-1, 5 μg ml−1), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse Vα2 (B20.1, 5 μg ml−1), biotinylated anti-mouse Vβ3 (KJ25, 2.5 μg ml−1), biotinylated anti-mouse Vβ5 (MR9-4, 2.5 μg ml−1), and allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated streptavidin (0.1 μg ml−1) or PerCP-5.5cyanine-conjugated streptavidin (0.5 μg ml−1) were from BD Biosciences. Biotinylated anti-mouse CD90.2/Thy1.2 (30-H12, 0.25 μg ml−1) was purchased from eBioscience. Before staining with the antibodies, cells were incubated for 10 min on ice with anti-Fcγ III/II receptor (2.4G2, 0.5 μg ml−1; BD Biosciences) antibody to block Fc receptors. Flow cytometoric analyses were done on FACS Calibur (BD Biosciences).

A single‐cell suspension from the mouse liver was obtained by a two‐step collagenase perfusion method and used for preparing hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells (NPCs) by centrifugal separation as described.23 Aliquots of cells were blocked with anti‐Fc receptor antibody, costained with fluorescence‐conjugated and/or biotin‐conjugated antibodies (listed in Supporting Table S1) and then incubated with allophycocyanin (APC)‐conjugated streptavidin (BD Biosciences) if necessary. We detected 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (EdU) by using the Click‐iT Plus EdU Alexa Fluor 488 Cytometry Assay Kit (Life Technologies), following the manufacturer's instructions. The samples were analyzed by FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences) or sorted by Moflo XDP (Beckman‐Coulter). Dead cells were excluded by propidium iodide staining. HSCs were identified based on the vitamin A autofluorescence signal detected by a violet laser at 405 nm. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software.

Cells were isolated from murine livers as described previously (Okabe et al., 2009 (link)). Briefly, liver cells were dissociated by perfusion of collagenase solution. Non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) were prepared by removal of hepatocytes with repeated centrifugation at 100 g for 2 min. Then, NPCs were incubated with anti-FcR antibody for blocking non-specific binding, followed by with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-EpCAM monoclonal antibody for 30 min on ice. After incubation with anti-FITC microbeads (1:10–100 dilution, Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), EpCAM+ cells were enriched by autoMACS pro (Miltenyi Biotec). After MACS, cells were incubated with biotin-conjugated anti-Lutheran monoclonal antibody for 30 min on ice. After wash, cells were incubated with allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated streptavidin (1:100–500 dilution, BD bioscience, NJ, USA) for 20 min on ice and analyzed or purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using Moflo XDP (Beckman-Coulter, CA, USA) and BD FACSCanto II (BD bioscience). Dead cells were excluded by propidium iodide (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) staining.

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.
