F ab 2 fragment of goat anti mouse igm

Manufactured by Jackson ImmunoResearch
Sourced in United States

The F(ab')2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgM is a laboratory reagent used in various immunological and biochemical applications. It is prepared by pepsin digestion of goat-derived antibodies that specifically recognize mouse immunoglobulin M (IgM) molecules. The F(ab')2 fragment retains the antigen-binding capabilities of the original antibody while lacking the Fc region.

CD3+ (T cells) or B220+ (B cells) cells isolated (Miltenyi Biotec, Inc, per manufacturers’ directions) from WT or S5A splenocytes were incubated overnight with anti-CD3 (1 μg/ml; 145–2C11, eBioscience)/anti-CD28 (1 μg/ml; 37.51, eBioscience) (T cells) or plate-bound anti-IgM 10 μg/ml; F(ab’)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgM, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) (B cells). Upregulation of CD69 and CD86 was assessed by flow cytometry (6 (link), 24 (link)).
For proliferation assays, CD3+ (T cells) or B220+ cells (B cells) isolated from WT or S5A splenocytes using negative selection (Miltenyi Biotec Inc.) and were labeled with CTV (Invitrogen). Cells were incubated for 72 h in the absence or presence of anti-CD3/anti-CD28 (T cells) or of soluble anti-IgM stimulation (10 μg/ml; F(ab’)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgM, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA), and rIL-4 (10 ng/ml, R&D Systems) (B cells). Cells were analyzed for CTV dilution by flow cytometry.

Splenic B cells were purified by depleting CD43+ cells, using anti-CD43 beads and magnetic columns (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and stimulated in vitro with 10 μg/ml F(ab’)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgM (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, USA) in combination with 25U/ml of recombinant mouse IL-4 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA), 5μg/ml bacterial LPS (Sigma-Aldrich), or 5 μg/ml of bacterial LPS in combination with 25 U/ml of recombinant mouse IL-4. Labeling of cells with 5-(6-) carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester (CFSE, Molecular Probes, Eugene, USA) for analysis of proliferation was performed following the manufacturer’s instructions. The decline in CFSE fluorescence as a measure of B cell proliferation was determined by FACS analysis.

Plasma Membrane Repair Regulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly isolated B cells were incubated with SLO in either Ca2+-containing (+Ca2+) or Ca2+-free DMEM (−Ca2+) for 5 min at 4°C to allow binding. Cells were then warmed to 37°C for 5 min, immediately transferred to 4°C, and stained with the membrane impermeant dye PI. Cells were analyzed using a BD FACS Canto II flow cytometer and FlowJo software (Tree Star). The percentage of cells repaired in the presence of Ca2+ (+Ca2+) was determined by [%PI positive (−Ca2+) − %PI positive (+Ca2+)] × 100/%PI positive (−Ca2+).
To determine the effect of SM on PM repair, SM from Bacillus cereus (50 µM; Sigma-Aldrich) was included in the medium during the 37°C incubation.
To analyze the effect of BCR cross-linking on the efficacy of PM repair, surface BCR were bound with Fab fragments of goat anti–mouse IgM (10 µg/ml) that does not cross-link BCRs (−XL), F(ab')2 fragment of goat anti–mouse IgM (10 µg/ml; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) that cross-links BCRs (+XL) for 20 min at 4°C, or biotinylated Fab goat anti–mouse IgM (10 µg/ml; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) for 20 min at 4°C plus streptavidin (5 µg/ml; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) at 4°C for 10 min for extensive cross-linking of BCRs. After washing off unbound antibodies/streptavidin, the cells were then treated with SLO (200 ng/ml) and analyzed by flow cytometry as described above.

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.
