For most of our experiments, we look to exclude immune cells from our sorted cells because they're so auto fluorescent. We use this antibody to do that reliably!

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Single cell suspension of mouse lung cells

Primary Incubation

4 degrees, 30 minutes, rocking, 1:100 with cells resuspended at 10 million/ml

Blocking Agent

Fc block 1:50 10 million cells/ml, 10 minutes

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Flow Cytometry

Results Summary

We use this antibody in almost every flow sorting experiment to get rid of immune cell contamination. It's important to make sure your samples are pure and this helps us achieve that! If you're trying to get rid of immune contamination, you can always put this in the same channel as your viability and anything else you want to exclude. It saves the rest of your channels for positive selection which is nice!
