Product Name:

APC anti-mouse CD24 Antibody

Catalog Number:

101814

The general focus of my work is to analyze the response different cell types in mouse lungs after pulmonary bacteria infection. This antibody was used as an additional marker to identify CD11b+ and CD103+ dendritic cells in mouse lung tissue.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Collagenase-digested mouse lung tissue

Primary Incubation

1:200 for 20 minutes on ice

Blocking Agent

24G2 in 3% BSA in PBS for 10 minutes on ice prior to staining in 3% BSA

Secondary Incubation

Fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 30 minutes

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Flow cytometer (BD LSRII)

Results Summary

The CD24 labeling was specific, but appeared as a gradient rather than a clear peak. However, there was clear separation between CD24- and CD24+ cells.

Summary

The Good

Specific for CD24, able to separate + and - populations

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

This marker is relatively dim on DCs, so the APC fluorophore is a good choice to easily distinguish cell populations
