The goal of this research was to clearly define the leukocyte populations present within a subcutaneous tumor-draining lymph noder.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Mouse Lymph Node Leukocytes

Primary Incubation

Wash cells once in FACS buffer (PBS plus 1% BSA or serum). Block Fc receptors and stain for viability in PBS for 20 minutes on ice.

Blocking Agent

Fc block (TruStain FcX)

Secondary Incubation

Wash cells once in FACS buffer. Stain with isotype control or CD4 antibody (1:500 dilution, 100 uL per million cells) for 20 minutes on ice. Wash cells once in FACS buffer. Resuspend cells in 100-250 uL PBS containing 1.5% paraformaldehyde.

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

Flow Cytometer

Results Summary

CD4+ T lymphocytes were clearly distinguished (middle panel, shaded histogram in right panel) from background (left panel, empty histogram in right panel).
