The BUV737 CD80 antibody works poorly for identifying CD80 expression on myeloid immune cells from cell populations isolated from mouse lungs and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. I found this antibody to fail to provide clear shifts even at 1:100 dilution.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow cytometry

Sample

Mouse BALF, Lungs

Primary Incubation

1:100, 30 mins at 4 degrees C in the dark

Blocking Agent

Fc Shield

Secondary Incubation

BD cytofix/cytoperm; 100 ul for 20 mins at 4C

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

5 laser Aurora Flow cytometer

Results Summary

I used this product to identify shifts in CD80 expression on dendritic cells, alveolar macrophages and monocytes isolated from the lung of unimmunized versus intranasally immunized mice. Cells were isolated from BALF using 1 ml of 1% BSA in PBS and from lungs through collagenase digestion; RBC lysis was performed using ACK buffer. Cells were then stained with viability dye followed by extra-cellular antibodies such as CD45, CD90.2, CD19, Siglec-F, CD11b, CD11c, Ly6C, Gr1, MHCII, MHCI. I think there may be spillover issues with this antibody and fluorophore combination.
