A spleen was harvested from a C57BL/6 mouse and a single cell suspension was made.  The cells were stained with the antibody that I am reviewing and also stained with an anti-mouse CD11c antibody.  For data analysis, I gated on the CD11c positive population and assessed expression levels on a histogram for the antibody that I am reviewing. This antibody was used to assess CD40 expression on dendritic cells from mouse splenocytes.

Detection

Flow cytometry

Results Summary

The population stained with CD40 antibody is distinguishable from the negative population. Titration of antibody 5 fold showed that the percentage of CD40+ doesn't change and there is a slight shift in the MFI.
