Flow cytometry Anti-bodies Mouse - CD279/PD-1

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).

Protocol tips
The cells were counted and 1×106 cells were used for surface staining. For intracellular staining 1×106 cells were cultured per well in 24 well plates (Nunc, USA) and activated with 50 ng/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 750 ng/ml ionomycin (Sigma, USA) overnight, and 10 µg/ml brefeldin A (eBiosciences, USA) was added during the last 4 hours of culture. Cells were washed twice with PBS and stained with antibodies directed against surface markers
Downstream tips
After staining, cells were washed again with PBS and cells were fixed with 100 µl fixation buffer (eBiociences, USA) for 30 minutes, then re-suspended in 200 µl permeabilization buffer (eBiosciences, USA) and stained with fluorescently labelled anti-cytokine antibodies. Fluorescence intensity of fluorochrome-labelled cells was measured by flow cytometry (FACS Canto™ II, BD Biosciences, USA).
Upstream tips
the cells from mice from the same treatment group were pooled and resuspended in PBS at a concentration of 2 × 107 cells/mL.
Protocol tips
The cells in each well were stained with Live-Dead Aqua (Invitrogen) for 30 min on ice, washed twice with PBS and then blocked with rat anti-mouse Fc antibody (CD16/CD32, clone 2.4G2, BD Biosciences) in FACs buffer for 10 min on ice. The FACs buffer consisted of HBSS (Sigma) with 2% bovine calf serum (Sigma), 0.1% sodium azide (Sigma) and 0.1% HEPES.
Downstream tips
The cells were then washed twice and resuspended in FACs buffer, and flow cytometry was performed using the Gallios flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter).
Protocol tips
7AAD (Biolegend) or Zombie Aqua Fixable Viability Kit (Biolegend) was used to exclude dead cells. For intracellular transcription factor staining, surface-stained cells were fixed and permeabilized using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience), according to the manufacturer's protocol
