Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures We have found that enriched splenic T cells are induced to express Fas Ligand by 6-8-hour culture with plate-bound anti-mouse CD3 mAb 17A2 (Cat. No. 555273), mAb 145-2C11 (Cat. No. 557306/553058), or mAb 500A2 (Cat. No. 553238). Because Fas Ligand is expressed at low density on activated cells, it may be desirable to amplify staining by using a biotinylated second-step antibody with a "bright" third-step reagent, such as Streptavidin-PE (Cat. No. 554061). The BD Biosciences anti-hamster IgG mAb cocktails, either biotin- or PE-conjugated (Cat. No. 554010 or 554056, respectively) are not effective for staining with mAb MFL3 (see Figure).
Product Notices: Product Notices 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. 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. 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. Although hamster immunoglobulin isotypes have not been well defined, BD Biosciences Pharmingen has grouped Armenian and Syrian hamster IgG monoclonal antibodies according to their reactivity with a panel of mouse anti-hamster IgG mAbs.
