Fc blocking antibody

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

The Fc blocking antibody is a laboratory reagent designed to prevent non-specific binding of antibodies to Fc receptors. It functions by binding to the Fc portion of antibodies, effectively blocking their interaction with Fc receptors on cells or other surfaces. This product is commonly used in immunoassays, cell-based assays, and other experimental procedures where Fc-mediated interference needs to be minimized.

Grafted corneas were harvested two weeks post-transplantation and incubated in 20 mM EDTA (Sigma-Aldrich Inc., St. Louis, MO) at 37°C for 45 minutes to facilitate the removal of the epithelium. Subsequently, tissue was fixed in ice-cold acetone for 20 minutes, washed, and blocked with 3% BSA for 60 minutes. Next, corneas were incubated with Fc-blocking antibody (1:100, clone 2.4G2; BD PharMingen) and then with FITC-CD103 and 594-CD11c antibodies (Table 1) at 4°C overnight. Then, corneas were imaged using a TCS SP8 multiphoton microscope (Leica Microsystems Inc., Morrisville, NC), and images were processed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Single-spleen cell suspensions and draining lymph node cell suspensions were obtained from mice one week after the last immunization. Cells (1×106/mL) were blocked with Fc blocking antibody (BD Bioscience) in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (phosphate buffered saline, 1.0% fetal bovine serum) for 15 min at 4°C. The cells were washed and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies against lymphocyte surface receptors, APC-Mouse I-Ab, PerCP-Cy5.5-CD11c, PE-F4/80, FITC-CD11b, PE-CD3 and APC-CD19 (BD Biosciences) for 30 min at 4°C.

For Carnoy’s fixation, 1 cm of colon was dissected from the mouse and unfolded into a square shape. The tissues were fixed using Carnoy’s fixative solution (10% glacial acetic acid, 30% chloroform, 60% ethanol, and 1 g ferric chloride) and embedded in frozen section medium (Leica Biosystems, Nussloch, Germany) at −80 °C for 1 h before storage at –20 °C. For further staining, we sectioned blocks into 6 μm using a cryotome (Leica Biosystems), fixed them in precooled (−20 °C) acetone for 2 min, and washed them in fresh PBS for 5 min. The tissues were incubated with Fc blocking antibody (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) for 30 min at room temperature and then with anti-Muc2 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 2 h at room temperature as well. After rinsing in fresh PBS, the tissues were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-IgG antibody (Abcam), counterstained with NucRed Live 647 ReadyProbes Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and observed under a Leica DMi8 microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany).

DC2.4 mouse dendritic cells were seeded overnight in a 12 well plate at 1 × 106 cells/mL (1 mL per well) in complete RPMI media. The next day, 500 μL of media was aspirated and 500 μL of TAMRA-pOVA or media were added to pOVA-treated and untreated wells, respectively. For the tablet group, 500 μL of media was added to each well and the tablets were gently dropped into the wells to dissolve. All groups contained 20 nmol of total peptide per well. After incubation for 2 or 6 hours, the cells were prepared for flow cytometry. Cells were treated with Fc blocking antibody (BD Biosciences, cat # 553141) for 30 min and stained with CD11c:PE-Cy7 (BD Biosciences, cat #561022) for 30 min. Flow cytometry was performed on a FACS Canto cytometer and data was analyzed using FlowJo software.

All animal studies were carried out under the supervision of the University of Maryland Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) in compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines. To test dendritic cell (DC) uptake of MPs, CD11c+ DCs were isolated from the spleens of female non-obese diabetic (NOD/ShiLtJ) mice (Jackson Laboratories) using CD11c positive selection following manufacturer’s instructions (Milltenyi). DCs were plated at 100,000 cells/well in RPMI1640+L-glutamine Media (Thermo Fisher) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Corning), 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco), 55 μM β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich) 1 X Non-Essential Amino Acids (Fisher Scientific), 10 mM HEPES (Fisher Scientific), and 1 X Pen/Strep (Gibco). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Sigma) was added to 1 μg/ml and DiO-labeled MP formulations were added. After 24 hours, cells were stained with FC blocking antibody (BD), then stained with anti-CD11c (BD) and resuspended in 4′,6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dihydrochloride (DAPI). Flow cytometry was performed on either BD FACSCelesta (BD) or BC Cytoflex (BC) to assess MP internalization. All flow cytometric analysis was performed using FlowJo.

Confluent FLS cells were washed once with PBS and harvested by incubating the monolayer in 10 ml PBS containing 0.02% EDTA and detaching cells by firmly rocking. Unspecific staining was reduced by incubating the re-suspended cells in HBSS containing 1% BSA, 2% bovine FCS and 0.1% NaN 3 in the presence of 0.2 µl/well Fc blocking antibody (BD Biosciences) for 10 min on ice. For TNFR1 staining, 40 µl cell suspension in HBSS plus supplements were incubated with anti-TNFRI antibody (Abcam) or the equal concentration of isotype control rabbit IgG (R&D systems.) A secondary anti-rabbit A488 antibody (Life Technologies) was used. For IL1R1 staining the anti-IL1R1 PE antibody (BD Biosciences) or the respective isotype control (BD Biosciences) was used. For both stainings, dead cells were excluded by incubating with DAPI (Life Technologies) before recording on a FACS Canto II cytometer.

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.
