CD11b is expressed on several immune cells including macrophages and monocytes. I used this antibody for identifying CD11b high macrophages within splenocytes. The expression of CD11b is variable on different cells and only the high expression population is considered macrophages. Due to very high expression level, the antibody had to be titrated for optimal staining.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Lymphocytes

Primary Incubation

1:200 in PBS for 30 minutes

Blocking Agent

FcR block

Secondary Incubation

NA

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Flow Cytometry - BV785 channel

Results Summary

The expression of CD11b was quite variable and a clear population with very high expression was observed. These were indeed macrophages after confirmation with secondary markers like F4/80.

Summary

The Good

Very bright stain and easy to use

The Bad

Fluorescence can run over the maximum channel length

The Bottom Line

After careful titration, the antibody can be successfully used for identifying macrophages and other myeloid cells.
