Goat anti mouse igm f ab 2

Manufactured by Jackson ImmunoResearch
Sourced in United States

Goat anti-mouse IgM F(ab')2 is a highly specific secondary antibody fragment that recognizes the IgM class of mouse immunoglobulins. It is produced by enzymatic digestion of goat anti-mouse IgM antibodies, resulting in the purification of the F(ab')2 fragment. This antibody fragment can be used in various immunoassays and other applications where the detection of mouse IgM is required.

Measuring Intracellular Calcium in B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For measurement of relative intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), RBC-depleted splenocytes (1E7/mL in complete medium containing 2% FCS) were stained with anti-B220 and Fab anti-mouse IgG (H+L), while being loaded with 5 μM indo-1 acetoxymethyl ester (INDO-1 AM, Thermofisher) according to the manufacturer’s protocols. Both Indo loading and flow cytometry were performed at room temperature (RT; ~22°C). After being washed once in medium, cells were resuspended at 5E6 cells/mL in RT medium in 500 μL aliquots. Indo-1 was excited with a 355 nm UV laser, and Ca2+-bound indo-1 was detected with a 379/28 bandpass filter; unbound indo-1 was detected with a 524/40 bandpass filter. Induced changes in relative intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was determined by calculating the ratio of Ca2+ bound/unbound indo-1 signals over time. After data were acquired for 30 s to establish [Ca2+]i baseline, cells were stimulated with the indicated dose of goat F(ab’)2 anti-mouse IgM, rabbit F(ab’)2 anti mouse IgG (H+L), goat F(ab’)2 anti-human IgM Cμ5, or rat anti-mouse IgM [B-7–6] (JacksonImmuno) and data were collected for an additional 2 min 30 s. The relative [Ca2+]i was measured using a Fortessa X-20 flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo software.

Thymocytes were prepared as described earlier (de la Fuente et al., 2006 (link)). Splenic T and B cells were purified by negative selection using kits from Miltenyi Biotec. Thymocytes and purified T cells were cultured in medium alone or in wells coated with 2 µg/ml anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (clone KT3; Abcam) with or without 2 µg/ml anti-CD28 (clone L293; BD) or 40 ng/ml IL-2 (PeproTech). PMA (Sigma-Aldrich) was used at 50 ng/ml, and ionomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) was used at 0.5 µM. Purified B cells were cultured in medium alone or in the presence of goat F(ab′)2 anti–mouse IgM (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.), 2 µg/ml anti-CD40 (R&D Systems), or 10 µg/ml LPS (Sigma-Aldrich). 72 h later, the cells were pulsed with 1 µCi [3H]thymidine and counted.

Calcium mobilization was measured using the fluorescent probe Fluo-3-AM. Isolated splenic B cells at 1 × 107 cells/mL were incubated with 10 μ M of Fluo-3-AM (Invitrogen) and 0.002% (v/v) Pluronic F-127 (Invitrogen) for 30 min at 37°C. Cells were then washed and resuspended in supplemented RPMI media for 15 min at 37°C. Cells were then incubated with 10 μg/mL 6G08 (hIgG1 N297Q mutation) or isotype controls for another 15 min at 37°C. Cells were kept warm prior to data acquisition of background fluorescence, followed by the addition of 20 μg/mL goat F(ab’)2 anti-mouse IgM (Jackson). Acquisition was continued for 2.5 min before the addition of 0.6 μ M ionomycin to elicit robust calcium flux.

For CCR6 upregulation, splenic B cells were stimulated with 10 ug/ml anti-IgM (F(ab’)2 goat anti-mouse IgM, Jackson Immunoresearch) for the indicated time. For IgA class switch B-DC coculture experiments, MACS-isolated splenic B cells (typically at 50,000 cells per well) were stimulated with 10 ug/ml anti-IgM and 20 ug/ml anti-CD40 (clone FGK4.5, UCSF Hybridoma Core) in the presence or absence of sorted DCs at a ratio of 1:1 for 5 days. The sorted DCs were from PPs of untreated mice in all cases except for the experiment involving sorted DC subsets where they were from B16-Flt3L treated mice. For IgA class switch in the absence of DCs, MACS-isolated splenic B cells were stimulated with 10 ug/ml anti-IgM and 20 ug/ml anti-CD40 (clone FGK4.5, UCSF Hybridoma Core) in the presence of TGFβ (2 ng/ml) and RA (100 nM) for 5 days.
For BMDCs, 5 × 106 BM cells were cultured in 10 cm tissue culture dishes in 10 ml of medium supplemented with supernatants from 3T3 cells transfected with the gene-encoding murine GM-CSF 7 days. Cells were treated with 1 μg/ml LTβR agonistic antibody (clone 3C8) and 100 nM RA every 3.5 days for 7 days.

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.
