Flow Cytometry Analysis of Antibody Binding

Flow cytometry was used to analyze binding of rabbit antibodies to spleen leukocytes [9 (link)]. The cells in PBS containing 1% BSA were blocked with 10% (v/v) donkey serum (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL) before or after incubation with rabbit polyclonal anti-mutated peptide antibodies (1 × 107 cells/1.1 μg each Ab/100μL). Cell-bound rabbit Ig was detected with phycoerythrin-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit Ig (H + L) antibody (BioLegend, San Diego, CA). All the incubation steps were for 30 min in ice followed by three-time (3 min each) washings with PBS containing 1% BSA. The stained cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde and following PBS washes, the samples were run on BD LSRII (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) flow cytometer equipped with BD FACSDiva™ version 8 software for data acquisition. The data were analyzed using FlowJo™ v10.1 software (FlowJo, LLC, Ashland, OR) following the required gating with the help of proper controls.

Evaluating Graft Survival and Lesions

Double/triple immunofluorescence labeling techniques were performed with direct-mounted sections to assess graft survival and lesion extent in vivo. Sections were washed in TBS, blocked in TBS/5% donkey serum (GE Healthcare)/0.25% Triton X-100 (Neolab) for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies in TBS/1% donkey serum/0.25% Triton X-100 overnight at 4°C. The following day, sections were rinsed in TBS/1% donkey serum and incubated with Alexa Fluor 594 or Alexa Fluor 488 donkey secondary antibodies for 2 h. Sections were coverslipped with Fluoromount G (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA).
The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-GFAP for astroglia (1:1,000; Merck Millipore), rabbit anti-GFP (green fluorescent protein, 1:750; Invitrogen) to detect the grafted cells, rabbit anti-Ki-67 (1:500; Novacastra/Leica Biosystems Wetzlar, Germany) for proliferating cells, and DAPI as nuclear counterstain. Immunolabeling was visualized using Alexa Fluor 488 (1:300; Life Technologies) or Alexa Fluor 596 (1:300; Life Technologies)-linked donkey secondary antibodies.

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.
