Product Name:

Anti-Mouse TCR beta PE

Catalog Number:

12-5961-82

The goal of this experiment was to clearly distinguish T cells in the peripheral blood of female C57Bl/6 mice for subsequent phenotyping. I selected this product because TCRb is a T cell-specific surface marker.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Peripheral blood leukocytes

Primary Incubation

Stained cells in 100 uL cold PBS containing Live/Dead and TruStain Fc block (2 ug/mL) on ice for 15 minutes.

Blocking Agent

TruStain Fc block (2 ug/mL)

Secondary Incubation

Added 100 uL cold PBS containing isotype control (4 ug/mL) or TCRb PE (4 ug/mL) and incubated on ice for 15 minutes.

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Summary

The Good

Cheap and clearly separates TCRb+ cells

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Really the ideal antibody to identify TCRb+ cells, both for simple enumeration and subsequent phenotyping.
