Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures To specifically stain cells bearing FcγII and FcγIII receptors for flow cytometric analysis: Incubate cell suspension with this antibody (≤ 1 μg/million cells) followed by an appropriate fluorochrome-conjugated second-step reagent. To reduce Fc receptor-mediated binding by antibodies of interest or Fc receptor-mediated binding by PE-CY5 tandem dye conjugates to FcγII and FcγIII receptor-bearing mouse cells for flow cytometric analysis: 1. Preincubate cell suspension with Mouse BD Fc Block™ purified anti-mouse CD16/CD32 mAb 2.4G2 (eg, ≤ 1 μg/million cells in 100 μl) at 4˚C for 5 minutes. 2. Add antibody of interest directly to preincubated cells in the presence of Mouse BD Fc Block™ (ie, Mouse BD Fc Block™ need not be washed off before staining cells). 3. If anti-Ig second-step is necessary, a reagent must be chosen which will not bind to Mouse BD Fc Block™ (eg, rat IgG 2b , κ).

Product Notices: Product Notices Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
