Flow Cytometry: For multicolor staining of cell suspensions from peripheral lymphoid tissues (e.g detection of T lymphocytes and/or NK cells), investigators are encouraged to utilize Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 [Mouse BD Fc Block™] (Cat. No. 553141/553142) to minimize non-specific binding. In addition, since CD28 may be expressed at low density on resting peripheral T lymphocytes, investigators may wish to amplify the staining signal by using a biotinylated second-step antibody followed by a "bright" third-step reagent, such as PE Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554061). If Mouse BD Fc Block™ is used, investigators need to be aware of and account for any potential crossreactivity that may occur between the second-step or third-step reagents chosen with the Mouse BD Fc Block™. Biotin Mouse Anti-Syrian Hamster IgG2 (Cat. No. 554029) would be a suggested second-step antibody for investigators to consider utilizing.
The 37.51 antibody reacts with CD28, which is expressed on most thymocytes, at low density on nearly all CD4+ and CD8+ peripheral T cells, and at even lower density on NK cells. The expression of CD28, in splenocytes and thymocytes, has been reported to increase after activation. CD28 transcripts are found in mast cells, and cell-surface expression of CD28 is induced upon maturation or activation of mast cells. It has been reported that CD28 is not expressed on some populations of intraepithelial T lymphocytes. CD28 is a costimulatory receptor; its ligands include CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2). The 37.51 mAb augments proliferation and cytokine production by activated T and NK cells and can provide a costimulatory signal for CTL induction. There is considerable evidence that CD28 is a costimulatory receptor involved in many, but not all, T cell-dependent immune responses.
