Product Name:

Brilliant Violet 510™ Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control Antibody

Catalog Number:

400171

The product was used to control for non-specific binding of antibody isotype to cells yielded from synovial tissue by enzymatic digestion. The product performed well with what are sometimes difficult samples.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Synovial cells yielded by enzymatic digest

Primary Incubation

30 minute incubation at 4 degrees C. Live/dead stain.

Blocking Agent

No specific blocking step. 2% FCS in staining buffer.

Secondary Incubation

30 minute incubation at 4oC. Antibody cocktail used at this point containing antibody at 5ug/ml.

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Mo Flow Astrios EQ 405 excitation 530/40 bandpass filter for emission

Results Summary

Antibody performed well with little non-specific/Fc receptor binding facilitating control for this effect. A slight positive shoulder was seen but this is to be expected with a sample with no specific Fc receptor blocking step in the staining protocol

Additional Notes
