Flow cytometry Anti-bodies Mouse - Ly6C/Gr-1/Ly6G

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).

For all experiments, cells were incubated in 0.5 μg Fc Block (BD Biosciences) for 10 minutes at RT. Surface staining was performed in the dark for 30 minutes at 4 °C in staining buffer. Cells were then washed twice with staining buffer followed by fixation in 1% paraformaldehyde (VWR, West Chester, PA, USA).		For flow cytometry immunophenotyping experiments, cells were acquired on an LSR II cytometer (BD Immunocytometry Systems, San Jose, CA, USA) equipped with 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, and 640 nm excitation lasers. The spleen FACS experiments were performed using a FACSAria II instrument (BD Immunocytometry Systems) equipped with 405 nm, 488 nm, or 633 nm lasers located at the University of Chicago Flow Cytometry Core Facility, Chicago, IL, USA. All data collection and sorting were performed using BD FACS Diva software (BD Biosciences) and data analyses were performed using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR, USA).

Single cell suspension of spleens and bone marrow (femurs and tibia) were prepared and filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer (BD Falcon). The primary cells were resuspended (107 cells/ml) in PBS containing 0.5%. BSA 0.5%.	Fc receptors were blocked with anti-CD16/CD32 for 15 min (5 μg/ml in PBS/BSA, clone 2.4G2, in house production). Subsequently, cells were washed with ice-cold PBS/0.5%BSA, and incubated with fluorescent labeled antibodies for 10 min on ice.	After washing twice, cells were re-suspended in PBS/0.5% BSA/2 mM EDTA, and analyzed in an LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). The resulting data were analyzed using the FlowJo software.
