BD Pharmingen™ APC Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control
Clone MOPC-21 (also known as MOPC21; MOPC 21) (RUO)
Expression of TNF by stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Human PBMC were stimulated for 6 hours with PMA (50 ng/ml final concentration; Sigma) and calcium ionophore A23187 (1 µg/ml final concentration; Sigma), in the presence of GolgiStop™ (2 µM final concentration; Cat. No. 554724). The PMBC were stained with FITC-anti-CD3 (FITC-UCHT1, Cat. No. 555332), fixed, permeabilized, and subsequently stained with 0.125 µg of APC-mouse anti-human TNF (APC-MAb11, Cat. No. 554514, left panel) or with 0.125 µg APC-mouse IgG1 (Cat. No. 554681, right panel) using BD Pharmingen™ staining protocol. To demonstrate specificity, the binding of APC-MAb11 antibody was blocked by perincubation of fixed/permabilized cells with excess unlabelled MAb11 antibody (5 µg; Cat. No. 554510). The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plot were set based on isotype controls and verified using the unlabelled MAb11 antibody blocking control. The APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNE or red diode laser. These include the dual laser FACStarPLUS™, FACSVantage™, or FACSCalibur™.

Preparation And Storage
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to APC under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free APC were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Recommended Assay Procedures
Immunofluorescent Staining and Flow Cytometric Analysis: The APC-MOPC-21 immunoglobulin (Cat. No. 554681) is a suitable mouse IgG1 isotype control for assessing the level of background staining on paraformaldehyde fixed/saponin-permeabilized mouse or human cells for flow cytometric analysis. Use at comparable concentrations to antibody of interest (e.g., ≤ 0.5 µg mAb/1 million cells) (see figure). For specific methodology, visit the protocols section of our website, or refer to the Immune Function Handbook, which is posted on our web site at www.bdbiosciences.com
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
- 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.

Format Details
APC
Allophycocyanin (APC), is part of the BD family of phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 651 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 660 nm. APC is designed to be excited by the Red (627-640 nm) laser and detected using an optical filter centered near 660 nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
