We are interested in studying the mechanisms responsible for ensuring T cell self tolerance that rely on thyme and extra-thymic Aire expressing cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Mouse thymus

Primary Incubation

Live dead: Zombie NIR LD 1:4000 in 100ul FACS for 20 min at RT

Blocking Agent

2.4G2

Secondary Incubation

Surface stains: 1:100 in 100uL FACS for 30 min at 4C

Tertiary Incubation

PFA (15 min RT) + FoxP3 Fix/Perm kit (30 min 4C), then intracellular stain for Ccl21 1:100 in 100uL perm buffer for 1hr at RT

Detection

Cytek Aurora spectral flow cytometry

Results Summary

This antibody gives strong separation of Ccl21+ MHCII low immature mTECs (mTEC lo) from the MHCII high mature mTECs and post-Aire mTECs in the thymus. Great for sorting/enriching for desired mTEC sub populations in flow cytometry experiments using spectral flow. Does not require much titration to get optimal staining, manufacturer recommended protocol works well.
