Flow cytometry Anti-bodies Human - CD38

Flow cytometry is an immunophenotyping technique whereby sing cell suspensions are stained for either cell surface markers or intracellular proteins by fluorescently-labelled antibodies and analyzed with a flow cytometer, where fluorescently-labelled molecules are excited by the laser to emit light at varying wavelengths, which is then detected by the instrument. There are several key criteria which are required to be kept in mind while designing a flow experiment- 1. Antibody titration (optimal dilution of antibodies should be calculated in order to avoid over- or under- saturated signals for proper detection of surface and intracellular markers), 2. Precision (3 or more replicates of the sample should be used per experiment), 3. Specificity (proper isotype controls should be included in the experiment), 4. Day-to-day variability (experiments should be repeated 3 or more times to ensure consistency and avoid variability due to flow cytometer settings), 5. Antibody interaction (Fluorescence minus one or FMO should be used, which is the comparison of signals from panel minus one antibody vs. the full panel), and 6. Antibody stability (fluorescently-labelled antibodies should be stored at 4C).

After incubation with monoclonal antibodies for 15 min (min) at 4°C, erythrocytes were lysed with ammonium chloride (PharmLyse, BD Biosciences, San Diego, California) at room temperature for 10 min using a standard lyse/wash technique. Samples were acquired on FACSCanto II instruments (BD Biosciences). For the detection of cytoplasmic antigens, cells were fixed and permeabilized using 4% formaldehyde and 0.25% Saponin. CD30‐PE was purchased from Beckman Coulter and all other antibodies were purchased from BD Biosciences.		A total of 200,000 events were acquired for assessment of these investigated antibodies. Data were analyzed using FCS Express software (De Novo Software, Los Angeles, California). Non‐viable cells, debris, and aggregates were excluded based on forward scatter‐height/forward scatter‐area (FSC‐H/FSC‐A).

	cells were transferred, centrifugation at 1500 g for 10 min and incubated with antibodies for 20 min at 37 °C. Annexin V was then added and stained for 15 min at room temperature. After incubation, BMMCs were washed, centrifuged, measured by a FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences) and resulting data were analysed using FlowJo software.
