Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures Recommended Assay Procedure: Blocking Control for Intracellular Staining: The purified MP6-XT22 antibody (Cat. No. 554416) can be used as a blocking control to demonstrate specificity of TNF protein staining by directly conjugated -MP6-XT22 antibody. To perform this control, the fixed/permeabilized cells (~ 1 million) can be incubated with 1 -10 µg of unlabeled MP6-XT22 antibody (Cat. No. 554416) for 20 minutes at 4°C, prior to staining with directly conjugated antibody (e.g., 0.1 -0.5 µg mAb/1 million cells). The intracellular cytokine staining technique and use of blocking controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe. For specific methodology, please visit our web site, www.bdbiosciences.com, and go to the protocols section or the chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook. ELISA Capture: The purified MP6-XT22 antibody (Cat. No. 554416) is useful as a capture antibody for a sandwich ELISA for measuring mouse TNF protein levels. Purified MP6-XT22 antibody can be paired with the biotinylated polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse/rat TNF antibody (Cat. No 557432) as the detecting antibody, with recombinant mouse TNF (Cat. No. 554589) as the standard. This pair measures total TNF, free TNF as well as TNF bound by soluble receptors. Note : This ELISA pair is recommended primarily for measuring cytokine from experimental cell culture systems. These ELISA reagents are not recommended for assaying serum or plasma samples. For measuring Mouse TNF in serum or plasma our Mouse TNF BD OptEIA™ Set (Cat. No. 558534) or BD OptEIA Kit (Cat. No. 559732) are specially formulated and recommended. WB: The MP6-XT22 antibody has been reported to be useful for Western blotting. Please note that this application is not routinely tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen.
