Detection of IL-5 expression by stimulated human CD4+ T cells. Isolated human CD4+ cells were stimulated with immobilized anti-human CD3 (1 µg/ml final concentration; UCHT1, Cat. No. 555329), soluble anti-human CD28.2 antibody (20 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No. 555725), recombinant human IL-2 (10 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No. 555605) and recombinant human IL-4 (10 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No. 554603) for 2 days. The cells were subsequently cultured in medium containing recombinant human IL-2 and recombinant human IL-4 for 3 days. The cells were then harvested and restimulated for 6 hours with PMA (Sigma, Cat. #P-8139) and calcium ionophore A23187 (Sigma, Cat. #C-9275) in the presence of GolgiStop™ (2 µM final concentration; Cat. No. 554724). Finally, the cells were harvested, stained with 0.25 µg of PE-Cy5-anti-CD4 (PE-Cy5-RPA-T4, Cat. No. 555348), fixed, permeabilized, and subsequently stained with 20 µl PE-conjugated rat anti-human IL-5 (PE-JES1-39D10, Cat. No. 559332) by following the usage section above and Pharmingen's staining protocol (left panel). To demonstrate specificity of staining, the binding of PE-JES1-39D10 antibody was blocked by the preincubation of the conjugated antibody with recombinant human IL-5 (0.1 µg; Cat. No. 554606; middle panel), and by preincubation of the fixed/permeabilized cells with unlabeled JES1-39D10 antibody (5 µg/Cat. No. 554487; right panel) prior to staining with the PE-JEs1-39D10 antibody. The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the autofluorescence control and verified with the recombinant cytokine blocking and unlabeled blocking specificity controls.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Immunofluorescent Staining and Flow Cytometric Analysis: The JES1-39D10 antibody is useful for immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis to identify and enumerate human IL-5 producing cells within mixed cell populations. The PE-conjugated JES1-39D10 antibody is especially suitable for these experiments (see Figure). This 100 Test Size formulation of the PE-conjugated JES1-39D10 antibody has been pretitrated to assure effective intracellular detection of human IL-5 using 20 µl/1 x 10e6 cells. For specific methodology, please visit our web site, www.bdbiosciences.com, and go to the protocols section or the chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook.
A useful control for demonstrating specificity of staining is either of the following: 1) pre-block the PE-JES1-39D10 antibody with excess ligand (e.g., human IL-5, Cat. No. 554606) prior to staining, or 2) pre-block paraformaldehyde-fixed/saponin-permeabilized cells with unlabeled JES1-39D10 antibody (e.g., Cat. No. 554488) prior to staining. The intracellular staining technique and use of blocking controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe. A suitable rat IgG2a isotype control for assessing the level of background staining on paraformaldehyde-fixed/saponin-permeabilized mouse or human cells is also available in a 100 Test Size formulation PE-R35-95 (Cat. No. 559317).
Important Note: This pretitered antibody solution does not contain a cell permeabilization agent. It is necessary to include a cell permeabilization agent when using the pre-titered antibody solution to stain fixed and permeabilized cells. Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723) contains the permeabilization agent saponin and is useful for this purpose as described in the Usage section.
USAGE
1. Resuspend 1 x 10e6 fixed and permeabilized cells in 20 µl of the pre-titered antibody solution and 30 µl of 1X Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723).
2. Incubate the cell suspension for 15 minutes (at room temperature or 4°C).
3. Wash twice in 100 µl of 1X Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723).
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
