Company:

Biolegend

Product Name:

Ly6G PE

Catalog Number:

127607

Injection with cytokines minicircle DNA IL-23 and IL-27 was done to check if ly6g expression goes up in various organs particularly spleen, PLNs and blood in gamma knock out mice. I have been using Biolegend products for sometime therefore did not want to switch to another company. PE color choice in the cocktail was also very important for the clone of antibody suggested which Biolegend has and served its purpose very well in this experiment. However this one required more optimization due to leakage issues.

Results Summary

Although I could stain, I would recommend antibody titration properly as this tends to leak into other channels if not optimized.

Summary

The Good

PE has good stain index

The Bad

Leakage occurs if not optimized. Requires compensation a lot at times.

The Bottom Line

Overall ok if signal expected. Signal is weak.
