Clone Number:

Tü39

The goal of this research was to look for MHC presentation (in this case HLA DR, DP, DQ) after an activation-inducing treatment of CD14+ CD11c+ dendritic cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow cytometry

Sample

Human dendritic cells

Primary Incubation

0.1uL Zombie Green viability stain in 100uL PBS, incubated at room temp for 15 mins.

Blocking Agent

Human TruStain Fc block, 5uL diluted in 95uL FACS buffer (5% FBS in DPBS), incubated at 4 degrees C for 10 mins

Secondary Incubation

1uL of HLA DR,DP, DQ antibody diluted in 100uL of FACS buffer (5% FBS in DPBS), incubated at 4 degrees C for 20 mins

Tertiary Incubation

Cytofix buffer, 100uL for 20 mins at 4 degrees C

Detection

Flow cytometry in a BD Celesta cytometer

Results Summary

This product helped us ensure that our treatment, which is meant to induce dendritic cell activation, increases MHC II presentation on the cell surface.

Summary

The Good

Stains well and inexpensive.

The Bad

Overlap in the FITC channel- build panels with caution.

The Bottom Line

An inexpensive way to visualize an increase in MHC II (HLA DR, DP, DQ).
