Example 4
In this example, CHO-CXCR3 cells were lifted from culture flasks using non-enzymatic Cell Dissociation Buffer—PBS based (Life Technologies #13151-014). Cells were resuspended in FACS Buffer (2% Fetal Bovine Serum in PBS) with sodium azide at 1×106 cells/ml and 800 μl were aliquoted into a tube for each antibody. Antibody was added to a final concentration of 5 μg/ml and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. The samples were placed on ice and a 105 μl aliquot at various time points was added to 190 μl FACS buffer in a 96-well plate and centrifuged for 3 min. Supernatant was discarded, the cells were resuspended in 105 μl of FACS buffer, duplicate aliquots (50 μl) added to another 96-well plate containing 150 μl FACS buffer and incubated at room temperature. After all of the time points were collected, the plate was centrifuged for 3 min, supernatant discarded and the cells resuspended in 50 μl goat anti-human IgG (γ-chain specific)-PE conjugated secondary antibody (Southern Biotech #2040-09) diluted 1:500 in FACS Buffer. Cells were incubated for 30 min at 4° C. and then washed 1× with FACS Buffer. The cells were resuspended in a final volume of 30 μl FACS Buffer and analyzed using the Flow Cytometer. The binding of clone 32B12 over time is shown in
