Product Name:

PE anti-human CD66b

Catalog Number:

305106

Clone Number:

G10F5

I used this antibody to stain human neutrophils from the matching blood and BAL samples of a cystic fibrosis patient for analysis by flow cytometry.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Blood, BAL

Primary Incubation

2.5 uL of antibody added to 2x10^5 cells in 50 uL

Blocking Agent

Fc receptor blocking prior to staining

Secondary Incubation

n/a

Tertiary Incubation

n/a

Detection

Excited by 561 nm green laser, emission in YG 582/15 filter

Results Summary

CD66b has 2 uses in this analysis: It is used as a neutrophil-specific marker for the gating upstream, and it indicates granule exocytosis. The BAL neutrophils have greater expression of CD66b and greater dynamic range of expression, indicating exocytosis of the secondary granules which is characteristic of airway neutrophils in CF. This antibody works well for cells of various sample types and for creating single-stained compensation beads. Signal loss is minimal following fixation and storage at 4 degrees for up to 2 weeks. Samples were fixed overnight and washed with PBS the next day for storage until sample acquisition.
