Attune flow cytometer

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

The Attune flow cytometer is a laboratory instrument used for analyzing and sorting cells or other particles in a fluid sample. It utilizes laser-based technology to detect and measure various physical and chemical characteristics of individual cells or particles as they pass through the instrument. The Attune flow cytometer is capable of providing quantitative data on the size, granularity, and fluorescence properties of the analyzed samples.

FRET Analysis of Cellular Processes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All flow cytometry experiments were performed on a BD Attune flow cytometer (BD; Walthman, MA) equipped with violet (405nm) and blue (488nm) excitation lasers. mCitrine (530/30) and sensitized emission FRET (530/30) emission were excited with a 488nm and 405nm laser respectively. The FRET ratio was calculated on a cell by cell basis by programming a custom parameter (FRET/mCitrine ratio) using the BD attune cytometry software. Data was analyzed using FlowJo (FlowJo LLC, Ashland, OR) flow cytometry analysis software. To ensure accurate FRET measurements, dead cells and doublets were excluded from analysis using the forward and side scattering characteristics of the cells. With dead cells and doublets removed, cells were then gated based on their fluorescent intensity and only cells that were significantly brighter then non-transfected controls were used for analysis.

BMDMs were seeded into 96-well µClear tissue culture plates (Greiner Bio-One) at 1 × 105 BMDMs per well and treated with varying concentrations of LCL161 or DMSO for 20 h. After washing cells with FACS PBS twice, cells were blocked with FcX block (1/100) for 5 min at 4 °C and were stained for the following cell surface markers: PE-conjugated CD40L (clone MR1, BioLegend), FITC-conjugated CD80 (Clone 16-10A1, BD Biosciences), AF647-conjugated anti-MHC I (H-2Kb, clone AF6-88.5, BD Pharmingen), and APC-eFluor 780-conjugated anti-MHC II (I-A/I-E, clone M5/114.15.2, eBiosciences) for 30 min at 4 °C in the dark. After cells were washed with FACS PBS twice, the expression level of activation markers on BMDMs was measured using BD Attune flow cytometer. Analysis was done using Kaluza (Beckman Coulter).

For each condition, 106 WT or R6/1 BMMCs were incubated with IgE (100 ng/mL) for 24 h. Then, the cells were collected and re-suspended in universal blocking reagent (BioGenex, San Ramon, CA) for 5 min at 4 °C. The cells were washed twice with 1× PBS and incubated with anti-FcεRI (1:500 in blocking buffer containing 1× PBS, 5 g/L BSA, 0.5 g/L sodium azide), and anti-TLR-4 N-terminal Ab (1:100 in blocking buffer) for 30 min at 4 °C. The cells were washed and incubated with a PE-coupled anti-IgG Ab (1:200 in blocking buffer). After 30 min of incubation at 4 °C, the cells were washed again and re-suspended in 1% paraformaldehyde (PFA). An anti-isotype staining was performed at the same time. The samples were analyzed in a CytoFLEX LX (B-R-V-Y-N-I) flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA), using the software CytExpert for data acquisition; plots showing PE+ populations were generated with the software Kaluza Analysis. An Attune flow cytometer (Beckton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) was used in some experiments.

Flow Cytometric Immunophenotyping of CLL Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell suspensions from PB, LN and BM were washed and blocked with 10% mouse serum (Sigma). Samples were then stained with anti-CD19-FITC (Becton Dickinson), PI, and either anti-CD69-PE or anti-CD11b-PE (Becton Dickinson) and analyzed in an Attune flow cytometer. In each quantification experiment, a constant calibrator sample was stained simultaneously. Expression data was reported as the percentage of viable CLL cells positive for CD69 or CD11b after subtraction of cells stained for IgG1 isotype-PE (Becton Dickinson).

A549 cells were treated with C188-9 or PL (@30μM) for up to 48 hrs. Cells were dissociated into singlets followed by staining with FITC-conjugated antibodies for Annexin V analysis (Becton Dickinson, catalog #556547) or propidium iodide stain solution for cell cycle analysis (Becton Dickinson, catalog #340242). Cells were analyzed on an Attune flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).

RGCs with small parts of optic vesicles (OVs) were removed from the whole cell body, picked from the plate, added to 100 µL of PBS, and agitated; these were then centrifuged at 300× g for 3 min. After aspirating the supernatant, accutase (Gibco) was added to the cell precipitates and kept at 37 °C for 5 min. After pipetting 10 times, CellEventTM Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent (0.5 M; Invitrogen) was added, agitated, and kept at 37 °C for 25 min in darkness. SYTOXTM AADvancedTM Dead Cell Stain (1M; Invitrogen) was added, agitated, and incubated at 37 °C for 10 min in darkness. Next, 400 µL of PBS was added and filtered through a round-bottom tube with a 35 µm strainer cap.
An Attune flow cytometer (BD BioSciences, San Jose, CA, USA) was used for the flow cytometry. The analysis was conducted five times with a minimum of 20,000 cells per condition.
