Lsrii flow analyzer

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

The LSRII flow analyzer is a laboratory instrument designed for the analysis and enumeration of cells, particles, and other biological samples. It utilizes laser-based technology to detect and measure various physical and fluorescent characteristics of individual cells or particles as they pass through a flow cell. The LSRII provides high-speed, multiparameter analysis capabilities for a wide range of applications in fields such as immunology, stem cell research, and cell biology.

Draining lymph node cells were collected for further analysis at the end of CIA as described above. For regulatory T cell analysis, the cells were surface-stained with antibodies against CD4 and CD25, followed by intracellular staining with anti-Foxp3 antibody (eBioscience; San Diego, CA). For the Th1 and 17 cells analysis, the lymph node cells were stimulated with PMA (50 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) plus ionomycin (1 μg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 5 h in culture medium in the presence of GolgiStop (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), then surface-stained with anti-CD4 antibody followed by intracellular staining with anti-IL-17 and anti-IFN-γ antibodies (eBioscience; San Diego, CA). The cells were analyzed on an LSRII flow analyzer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) using FlowJo (Tree Star, Ashland, OR) (Qiao et al. 2012 (link); Ying et al. 2010 (link);).

Monocytes from blood (pre-transmigration and post-transmigration) were stained as described before [8 (link)], with the following modifications. Antibodies were directed against CD33 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA, cat# 366614), CD36 (Biolegend, cat# 336204), CD47 (Biolegend, cat# 323114), CD63 (Biolegend, cat# 353026), CD66b (Biolegend, cat# 392904), CD91 (Invitrogen, cat# 46091942), CD172a (Biolegend, cat# 372106), HLA-DR (Biolegend, cat# 307626), PD-1 (Biolegend, cat# 329952), and PD-L1 (Biolegend, cat# 329738). Viability was determined based on staining with Live/Dead Violet (ThermoFisher Scientific, Wlatham, MA, USA, cat# L34958). Intracellular NO was measured with the cell-permeable probe diaminofluorescein-2-diacetate, as detailed before [5 (link)]. Samples were incubated with antibodies and viability or NO probe in the dark, at 4 °C for 30 min, washed with PBS-EDTA, and centrifuged at 400× g at 4 °C for 10 min, after which the supernatant was removed and samples were fixed overnight at 4 °C in Lyse/Fix buffer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA, cat# 558049). Samples were resuspended in 300 µL PBS plus 10 µL counting beads (ThermoFisher Scientific, cat# C36950) to enable absolute cell counting during acquisition on a LSRII flow analyzer (BD Biosciences).

Multicolor flow cytometry for immune cell profiling

Freshly prepared cell suspensions were blocked with 1% mouse serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch), 1% rat serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch), and 2% mouse FcR Blocking Reagent (Miltenyl) for 15 mins at 4 o C. Fluorophore-conjugated primary antibodies against cell surface antigens were added to the cell suspensions and incubated for 30 mins at 4 o C. Cells were then washed with cold PBS and stained with LIVE/DEAD UV (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's instructions. Cells were then washed with cold FACS buffer and fixed with Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience) according to manufacturer's protocol. Fixed cells were again blocked with 1% mouse serum, 1% rat serum, and 2% mouse FcR Blocking Reagent for 15 mins at 4 o C and then stained with fluorophore-conjugated primary antibodies against intracellular antigens. Cells were then washed, and data were acquired on a LSR II Flow Analyzer (BD). Details on the antibodies used are provided in Supplementary Table S4. Data acquired were analyzed by using FlowJo software (BD).

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.
