Procedure:
- Collect 200 - 500 uL blood from each mouse. Mix with 50 uL
0.5M EDTA in 1.5 mL eppendorf tubes.
- Add 250 uL blood to 5 mL RBC Lysis Buffer (20x vol. blood) in 15
mL conical tubes.
- Spin down white cells 1500 RPM x2 min.
- Aspirate lysate and wash by resuspending cells in 5 mL
PBS/FBS.
- Spin down at 1500 RPM x2 min.
- Resuspending cells in 500 uL PBS/FBS with 1 uL Fc Block (1/500)
- Add 150 uL to each well of a 96 well V-bottom dish.
- Add 50 uL 1º Ab Master Mix (the mix is a 1/25 dilution of
each 1º Ab
in PBS/FBS).
- Include 1 well with a combination of Isotype controls for setting
voltage. Also include 1 well for each of the 1º Ab as single
positive controls for setting compensation.
- Incubate 60 min at 4ºC.
- Spin 1500 RPM x2 min. Discard supernatant by shaking it out
once into the sink, and blot inverted plate on paper
towel.
- Wash by adding 200 uL PBS/FBS to each well, and mix by pipetting
up and down.
- Immediately spin at 1500 RPM
x2 min. and discard supernatant.
- Add 150 uL of 2º Ab (i.e. Streptavidin-TC) Master Mix.
- Incubate 30 min at 4ºC, then spin at 1500 RPM x5 min.
Shake out supernatant.
- Resuspend in 200 - 500 uL of PBS/FBS and transfer to 5 mL flow
tubes.
- See the flow
cytometry protocol for 3-color flow.
