As a T cell lab, we routinely assess effector function based on cytokine expression such as TNFa (alpha). TNF along with IFNg are routinely measure through flow cytometer. We used this antibody to detect intracellular expression of TNFa in activated CD8+ T cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Activated murine CD8+ T cells

Primary Incubation

1:500 in 1x BD Permwash buffer (intracellular staining)

Blocking Agent

FC Block 100ng/mL in FACS solution (surface)

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

BD FACS Celesta

Results Summary

We easily detected robust intracellular TNFa expression in CD8 T cells. Furthermore, as expected, TNFa expressing T cells also expressed IFNg which makes this antibody very reliable.

Summary

The Good

Very reliable antibody to detect TNFa expressing cells. Good dilution.

The Bad

None whatsoever.

The Bottom Line

Great and robust antibody to identify TNFa expressing T cells upon activation. Highly recommend this color especially this clone.
