Murine and human fc block

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

Murine and human Fc-Block is a laboratory reagent that blocks Fc receptors on cells, preventing non-specific binding of antibodies. It is used to reduce background signal and improve specificity in immunoassays and other applications involving antibody detection.

Isolation of Murine Immune Cells

Spleens were isolated from euthanized naïve BLT donor mice and mechanically disrupted in sterile PBS 2% FBS using frosted glass slides to generate a single cell suspension. Immune cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) as per the manufacturers protocol (950 g, 20 min, no brake). Immune cells were washed once in sterile PBS supplemented with 2% FBS, re-suspended in 150 microliters (ul) PBS 2% FBS, incubated with murine and human Fc-Block (BD) for 10 minutes at 4°C, and stained with antibodies specific to murine CD45 (30-F11; Biolegend) and human CD43 (CD43–10G7; Biolegend). CD43- target cells (B cells and dendritic cells (DC)) were isolated using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) on a BD ARIA, resulting in ≥ 99.8% purity.

Fourteen days after immunization, single cell suspensions from spleens and livers were generated by mechanical disruption of spleens, using frosted glass slides, and livers, using 40μm nylon mesh. Immune cells where then isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) as per the manufacturers protocol. Splenic and hepatic immune cells were washed once in sterile PBS 2% FBS, re-suspended in 150ul PBS 2% FBS, incubated with murine and human Fc-Block (BD) for 10 minutes at 4°C, and stained with antibodies specific to mCD45 (30-F11; Biolegend), hCD45 (H130; Biolegend), hCD3 (OKT3; Biolegend), and hCD56 (HCD56; Biolegend) for 30 minutes at 4°C. Human NK cells (≥ 99% pure) were isolated by FACS-based cell sorting of mCD45/hCD3- hCD45/hCD56+ NK cells, using a BD ARIA (5,000–7,000 events/second).

Humanized NSG-Tg(IL-15) Mouse Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NOD.Cg-PrkdcscidIl2rgtm1wjl Tg(IL-15) mice (NSG-Tg(IL-15) (Stock No: 030890)) were developed in Dr. Leonard Shultz’s research lab by pronuclear injection of a ~200 Kbp bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) designated Chori BACPAC RP11-620F3 containing the human IL-15 gene. NSG-Tg(IL-15) mice (Stock No: 030890), CD34+ humanized NSG-Tg(IL-15), and NSG mice were provided by or purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Recipient mice were sublethally irradiated at 4–12 weeks of age and intravenously injected with CD34+ enriched human cord-blood-derived cells. The reconstitution efficiency of each animal was independently determined by flow cytometric analysis of PBMCs from whole blood collected from the submandibular vein. PBMCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were washed and resuspended in 0.2 mL of PBS supplemented with 2% FBS, incubated with murine and human Fc Block (Becton Dickinson (BD), Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) for 10 min at room temperature (RT), and then stained with antibodies specific to murine CD45 (30-F11; BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and human CD45 (H130; BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), before acquisition through flow cytometry.

Multiparametric Analysis of Immune Cells

Blood, spleen, liver, bone marrow (BM), and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract were harvested at experimental endpoints. Single-cell suspensions were generated by mechanical disruption using a 40 μm nylon mesh. Immune cells were then isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Immune cells were washed once in sterile PBS + 2% FBS, resuspended in PBS + 2% FBS, incubated with murine and human Fc Block (BD) for 10 min at RT, and stained with antibodies listed in Supplementary Table S1. For permeabilization, the FoxP3 permeabilization buffer kit (Tonbo Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The acquisition was performed on the 5 L 16UV-16V-14B-10YG-8R Cytek™ Aurora flow cytometer (Cytek Biosciences, Fremont, CA, USA). Analyses of FCS files were performed using FlowJo (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Data were graphed and statistical analyses were performed using Graphpad Prism (San Diego, CA, USA).

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.
