Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of I-A/I-E MHC Class II alloantigen expression on viable Mouse splenic leukocytes. C57BL/6 Mouse splenocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) [Cat. No. 553141/553142]. The cells were then stained with FITC Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e antibody (Cat. No. 553062/553061) and with either BD Horizon™ RB705 Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 570263; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ RB705 Rat Anti-Mouse I-A/I-E antibody (Cat. No. 570619/570707; Right Plot) at 0.25 µg/test. DAPI (4',6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dihydrochloride) Solution (Cat. No. 564907) was added to cells right before analysis. The bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of I-A/I-E (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD3e was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (DAPI-negative) leukocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid fragments produced by ammonium chloride-based lysis, such as with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899), has been observed when the antibody conjugate was present during the lysis procedure. This may cause nonspecific staining of target cells, such as leukocytes, which have bound the resulting erythroid fragments. This background can be mitigated by any of the following: titrating the antibody conjugate to a lower concentration, fixing samples with formaldehyde, or removing erythrocytes before staining (eg, gradient centrifugation or pre-lysis with wash). This background has not been observed when cells were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202) after staining.

- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.

The M5/114.15.2 monoclonal antibody recognizes a polymorphic determinant shared by the I-A[b], I-A[d], I-A[q], I-E[d], and I-E[k] (but not I-A[f], I-A[k], or I-A[s]) MHC class II alloantigens that can be expressed by B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, macrophages and activated T cells. It also reacts with cells from mice of the H-2[p] and H-2[r] haplotypes, and it is non-reactive with cells from NOD (H-2[g7]) mice. Flow cytometric analysis indicates that the M5/114.15.2 and 2G9 monoclonal antibodies have comparable reactivity on cells from mice with I-A[b], I-A[d], I-A[g7], I-A[q], I-E[d], and I-E[k] alloantigens.
