Flow Cytometry Protocols for Cell Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flow cytometry (Figure 10) is a technique used for measuring the chemical or physical characteristics of cells or particles. The cells or particles of interest are suspended in solution, labelled with fluorescent markers, and run through a cell analyser ‐ a flow cytometer instrument. The cells or particles flow through a small tube one at a time, and a laser is focused on them, scattering light and fluorescence of different wavelengths then recorded by the flow cytometer. Data are presented on a computer as either single parameter histograms or two‐parameter plots called cytograms.
The protocol describing handling and preparation of the blood samples before running on the flow cytometer is described thoroughly in papers II, III and IV (Appendix A page 35).
We used a BD FACSCantoII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), and to analyse the data, we used the software Kaluza Analysis (Kaluza Analysis version 2.1; Beckman Coulter, Inc., Pasadena, CA, USA). For measuring white blood cell count (WBC) to obtain 1.0 x 106 leukocytes in the test tubes, we used a Sysmex KX‐21NTM (Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan).
Table 5 is an overview of the monoclonal antibodies used for flow cytometry. A gating strategy for the flow cytometric analyses is shown in paper IV (page 35).

Immunofluorescence Flow Cytometry for B-cell Progenitor Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence flow cytometry was performed as described previously (9 (link)). For mAbs staining, cells were washed with staining buffer (1% FBS in HBSS), resuspended in 50 μl of the same buffer, pre-incubated with purified anti-mouse CD16/32 (Biolegend) for 10 min, and incubated for 30 min at 4°C with each fluorescence-conjugated mAb or isotype control matched with primary antibody. Zombie NIR™ dye (Biolegend) was used to assess live or dead status of cells. The samples were measured using a Gallios flow cytometry or CytoFLEX (Beckman Coulter). Doublets were distinguished from single cells by plotting FSC height vs FCS area. For the isolation of B-ps, fetal liver cells of E15-15.5 mice were immunostained as above, and CD45+ LIN- (CD3-, CD4-, CD8-, CD11b-, Gr-1-, NK1.1-, TER119-) CD19+B220+CD93+ IgM-cells were sorted using a Moflo XDP instrument (Beckman Coulter). The purity of the sorted populations constituted more than 95% as determined by a presorted sample run in parallel. Data were analyzed in Kaluza analysis version 2.1 (Beckman Coulter).

Quantifying Mouse Hematopoietic Stem Cells

The entire mouse femur (bone and medulla) and spleen were suspended in media, and the number of cells were enumerated, washed once with PBS-5% (v/v) FBS, and resuspended in the same solution containing a cocktail of the following antibodies: APC-CD117, APC-Cy7-Sca1, PE-Cy7-CD150, biotin-labeled anti–mouse CD48, and biotin-labeled anti-lineage antibodies. All antibodies were purchased from BD Pharmingen. After 30 minutes of incubation on ice, cells were washed once and stained with streptavidin-PE-Cy5, and cell fluorescence was analyzed with a Gallios analyzer (Beckman Coulter). HPCs were defined as lineage negative (Lin) cells. The total hematopoietic stem cell populations were defined as LSK (Lin/CD48neg/c-Kitpos/Sca-1pos) and long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells were defined by the SLAM phenotype (Lin/CD48neg/c-Kitpos/Sca-1pos/CD150pos) as previously described (79 (link), 80 (link)). Nonspecific signals and dead cells were excluded by appropriate fluorochrome-conjugated isotype and propidium iodide staining, respectively. Results were analyzed with the Kaluza analysis version 2.1 (Beckman Coulter).

The following fluorochrome‐labeled monoclonal anti‐human antibodies were used to identify central and effector cells: CD3‐APC‐Cy7, CD4‐V450 (REA623), CD45RA‐PE‐Vio770 (REA562), CD196 (CCR6)‐APC (REA190), CD183 (CXCR3)‐VioBright FITC (REA232), CD194 (CCR4)‐PE (REA279) and PerCP‐Cy5.5 anti‐CXCR5 (all from Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Cells were stained for 30 min at 4°C, measured with a FACSCanto II flow cytometer and analyzed using Kaluza Analysis version 2.1 (Beckman Coulter Life Sciences). Supporting information, Figure S3 reports the gating strategy for central and effector cell phenotyping panel, while Supporting information, Table S1 summarizes the main cell subsets identified from the analysis.

Quantifying GFP Expression by Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Levels of expression of gfp from induced cultures were determined by flow cytometry analysis as follows: the volume corresponding to one unit of optical density (O.D.) at 600 nm of the induced cultures was collected by centrifugation (3300 × g, 5 min) and resuspended in 500 μl 1× PBS. The cell suspension was diluted transferring 200 μl to a tube with 1200 μl of 1× PBS, and its fluorescence levels was determined using a Gallios FC500 flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter). Data were collected with the software CXP Cytometer version 2.2 (Beckman Coulter Inc) and analyzed with Kaluza Analysis version 2.1 (Beckman Coulter Inc). The gating strategy is shown in Supplementary Fig. 3.

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.
