Flow cytometric analysis of CD178 expression on activated rat T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes from LEW spleen (rat T Cell Enrichment Column, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were cultured for 7 hours in the presence of plate-bound Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Rat αβ T-Cell Receptor R73 (Cat. No. 554910, top panels) and Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Rat CD28 (Cat. No. 554992, top panels) or on uncoated plates (bottom panels). They were simultaneously stained with FITC Mouse Anti-Rat CD4 (Cat. No. 554837, all panels) and Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse and Rat CD178 (middle panels) or PE Mouse Anti-Rat CD25 (Cat. No. 554866, right panels) to demonstrate activiation, followed by biotinylated goat anti-Armenian hamster IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA), then Streptavidin-PE (Cat. No. 554061, top and bottom, left and middle panels). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system.

Preparation And Storage
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 Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Rat αβ T-Cell Receptor (Cat. No. 554910) and Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Rat CD28 (Cat. No. 554992). Because Fas Ligand is expressed at low density on activated cells, we recommend the use of a biotinylated second-step antibody, such as polyclonal goat anti-hamster IgG, with a "bright" third-step reagent, such as Streptavidin-PE (Cat. No. 554061). Other reported applications include blocking of the cytotoxic activities of mFasL-transfected L5178Y T lymphoma, rFasL-transfected COS cells, and rFasL-transfected L5178Y cells.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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. A table of the hamster IgG groups, Reactivity of Mouse Anti-Hamster Ig mAbs, may be viewed at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/documents/hamster_chart_11x17.pdf.

The MFL4 monoclonal antibody, generated against mouse CD178 (Fas Ligand, CD95 Ligand), cross-reacts with the rat Fas Ligand antigen. MFL4 mAb detects rat Fas Ligand expressed by transfected cells, but not the parental cell line. In addition, the epitope detected by MFL4 can be induced on activated rat splenic T lymphocytes. The MFL4 mAb has been reported to inhibit killing of mouse lymphoma line A20.2J by rat FasL-transfected cells. The tissue distribution of mouse Fas Ligand has been well characterized. It is expressed at the mRNA and protein levels in a variety of tissues and cell types, including spleen, bone marrow, testis, uterus, eye, and activated lymphocytes. The expression of Fas Ligand in the rat has been detected in liver Kupffer cells, T cells in the central nervous system, spleen, and corpus luteum. MFL4 antibody reacts with the mouse Fas Ligand protein in a pattern similar to that of MFL3 antibody. Fas Ligand is a type-II transmembrane protein, a member of the TNF/NGF superfamily and a ligand for Fas (CD95). Fas Ligand and its counter-receptor CD95 are believed to participate in T-cell development, the regulation of immune responses, and cell-mediated cytotoxic mechanisms. It has been reported that human Fas Ligand is released from the surface of activated lymphocytes by metalloproteinase.
