We are interested in the role of antigen presenting cells during the induction of oral tolerance in mice. For this purpose we analyze phenotypic and functional changes of antigen presenting cell subsets after tolerance induction, among these plasmacytoid dendritic cells that are CD11c low PDCA1+.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Mouse spleen cells

Primary Incubation

20min 4'C, dilution 1/200

Blocking Agent

Fc block (anti CD16/CD32)

Secondary Incubation

NA

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

FACS LSRII

Results Summary

We gated on total DCs (CD11c+CD3-CD19-NK1.1-). Plasmacytoid cells were PDCA1+ CD11c low.

Additional Notes

It is recommanded to digest organs using Collagenase D and DNase I before staining for dendritic cells.

Summary

The Good

Bright staining

The Bad

B cells can express PDCA-1, hence it is recommended except for B cells using CD19 (which are B220-) as pDCs are B220+

The Bottom Line

Very good antibody for staining of plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
