Effective Flow Cytometric Phenotyping of Cells Using Minimal Amounts of Antibody

Abstract: Here we introduce a modified antibody staining method that uses up to 80% less antibody for flow cytometry. We demonstrate this method for the detection of antigens expressed at high, moderate, or low levels in mouse and rat lymphocytes as well as mouse mammary epithelial cells. We obtained reproducibly accurate results for the detection of up to seven parameters for activation induced-proliferation, cell cycle analysis, and phenotyping of cell-surface and intracellular antigens.

“…The expression of nrf-2, p65, p21 and Manganese Super Oxide Dismutase (Mn-SOD) genes was normalized against that of a housekeeping gene, ȕ-actin, and was plotted as fold change with respect to control. Table 1 Gene analysed using FlowJo 7.6.5 (Treestar, Inc. Ashland) software [27]. For intracellular staining, the cells (3 x 10 6 ) were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.05% Tween 20 (5 min) and 0.1% TritonX100 (3 min) and stained with specific antibodies (1µg/100µl, 30 min) and then stained with Hoechst 33342 (10µg/ml, 4 hr).…”

“…The abundance of PNLhi or CD61hi subpopulations (Figure 5B) as well as the mean fluorescence intensities (not shown) of these stainings were not different between susceptible and resistant Mcs1a congenic animals. In addition, we looked at MMEC differentiation in WT and MD mice by FACS analysis, as described previously [42]. Like for the rat, we used antibodies against CD45 and CD31 to exclude hematopoietic and endothelial cells, respectively, and antibodies against CD24 and CD29 to quantify luminal and basal MMEC populations (Figure 5C).…”

“…Rat and mouse mammary epithelial cells (RMECs and MMECs) were prepared from LN-excised abdominal and adjacent inguinal mammary glands, as described previously [25], [42]. For phenotyping RMECs and MMECs, staining was done using the low-volume staining method to reduce antibody costs [42].…”

“…For the 50 nm microbeads (Miltenyi) that we use, | m p | = 10 6 Bohr magnetons 33 . We assume the total number of particles per cell to be n = 10 4 particles, a conservative estimate, based on the 10 5 CD45 receptors per leukocyte 34 . The Stoke’s drag of a trapped cell is F d = 6πηrv, where η = 0.8 mPa*s is the viscosity of water and r is the radius of the cell.…”
