Fitc conjugated secondary antibody

Manufactured by Southern Biotech
Sourced in United Kingdom

FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies are fluorescently labeled antibodies used to detect and visualize target proteins in various applications, such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and Western blotting. These antibodies bind to the primary antibodies that are specific to the target proteins, allowing for the detection and localization of the proteins of interest.

Immunofluorescence Microscopy of Neutrophils

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunofluorescence microscopy, 1.5 × 105 neutrophils were seeded onto coverslips coated with 0.001% poly-l-lysine (MilliporeSigma) and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature. Blocking was with 1% BSA overnight at 4°C. The primary antibody was against neutrophil elastase (Abcam catalog ab21595, diluted 1:100), and the FITC-conjugated secondary antibody was from Southern Biotech (catalog 4052-02, diluted 1:250). DNA was stained with Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen). Images were collected with a Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader.

Quantification of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

NETs were detected by incubating with anti-human neutrophil elastase antibody (Abcam) for 1 h at 4°C, followed by incubation with FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (Southern Biotech) for an additional hour at 4°C. Nuclear DNA was stained with Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen) for 10 min at room temperature. The chamber was gently removed from the attached slide, and ProLong Gold Antifade reagent (Invitrogen) was applied directly to the cells. The mount was secured in place by carefully lowering a coverslip onto the slide. Images were collected with a Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader (BioTek). The percentage of NETs (decondensed extracellular DNA co-localized with neutrophil elastase) was determined as the average of six to eight fields (20x). Experiments were performed at least four times (independent biological replicates).

Example 8

Flow cytometry studies were conducted to assess the ability of selected FRα-specific antibodies to bind to the native protein. For these studies Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing FRα, were harvested, washed, and re-suspended in ice-cold growth media (RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS). Cells were incubated for 1 hour on ice with 9F3, 19D4, 24F12, or 26B3 (1 μg/mL), washed and then incubated with FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies [dilution 1:100] (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, Ala.). Prior to analysis, cells were labeled with 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD) (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, N.J.) for the exclusion of nonviable cells. CHO cells not expressing FRα were also subjected to the same experimental procedures, as a negative control. Cells were analyzed on an EASYCYTE™ Flow Cytometer (GUAVA® Technologies, Hayward, Calif.). The data provided in Table 4 indicate that all four antibodies are capable of binding native FRα.

Immunostaining for Stem Cell Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Colonies grown at a density of 10 cells per well in 24 well plates for 2 weeks were fixed with 4% PFA for 20 min at room temperature. Colonies stained for intracellular markers (Ki67, K5, K18, BMI-1 and Oct4) were permeabilised by adding 200 µl 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 10 min at room temperature. Non-specific staining was blocked by incubating the colonies for 30 min with 10% normal goat serum (NGS) (PAA) at room temperature. Primary antibodies (Table S1) (Abcam, UK) diluted in 10% NGS in PBS were incubated overnight at 4°C, washed 4 times and incubated with FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies (Southern Biotech) for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, the colonies were washed, dried and mounted using Vectashield containing DAPI (Vector Laboratories Inc, Peterborough, U.K.). Colonies were viewed using Olympus Total Internal Reflection inverted confocal microscope and Fluoview 2000 software. The marker positive fraction was calculated as a percentage of total cell number (number of DAPI stained nuclei).

Fractions containing EVs were first identified according to their tetraspanin content determined by flow cytometry analysis. First, 50 µL of each fraction were incubated with 0.2 µL aldehyde/sulphate-latex beads (4 µm; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 15 min at room temperature. Beads were then re-suspended in 1 mL bead-coupling buffer (BCB) (PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA and 0.01% NaN3; Sigma–Aldrich) and incubated overnight at room temperature on rotation. EV-coated beads were then spun down at 2,000g for 10 min, washed with BCB and centrifuged again at 2,000g for 10 min. EV-coated beads were then labelled at 4°C with anti-CD9 (Clone VJ1/20), anti-CD63 (Clone TEA 3/18) (both kindly provided by Dr. Francisco Sánchez-Madrid and Dr. María Yañez-Mo), or polyclonal isotype (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies for 30 min. After washing with BCB, EV-coated beads were incubated with FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies (SouthernBiotech, Birmingham, AL) for 30 min, washed twice with BCB and analysed by flow cytometry (FacsVerse; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and using the Flow Jo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR). A total of 10,000 beads/samples were acquired.

Analysis of Ref-1 expression in leukemia T-cells was performed also using intracellular staining and flow cytometry. Briefly, leukemia cells were fixed in Cytofix/Cytoperm solution (BD Biosciences) for 30min, and then washed in Perm/Wash buffer (BD Biosciences) with 3% BSA. Cells were incubated with anti-Ref-1 antibody (Novus Biologicals) at 1:125 dilution for 2hrs, washed with Perm/Wash buffer, followed by incubation with PE-conjugated or FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, Alabama) at 1:500 dilution for 1.5hrs. Staining with fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibody alone was used as negative control. Cells were acquired in a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ), and data analyzed using FlowJo software (FlowJo LLC; Ashland, OR).

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.
