Identification of splenic T lymphocyte subsets using Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Antibody Cocktail, with Isotype Control. BALB/c splenocytes were stained with either Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Isotype Control (left panels) or Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Antibody Cocktail (right panel). The two-color dot plots display the CD4+ and CD8+ peripheral T lymphocyte subpopulations. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system.

Description

The Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Antibody Cocktail is a three-color reagent designed to identify major subsets of T lymphocytes by direct immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. This cocktail consists of the following antibody mixture: PE-Cy7 hamster anti-mouse CD3e (clone 145-2C11), PE rat anti-mouse CD4 (clone RM4-5), and APC rat anti-mouse CD8a (clone 53-6.7).The 145-2C11 antibody reacts with the 25-kDa ε chain of the T-cell receptor-associated CD3 complex, which is expressed on thymocytes, mature T lymphocytes, and NK-T cells of all mouse strains tested. The RM4-5 antibody recognizes CD4 (L3T4), a differentiation antigen expressed on most thymocytes, subpopulations of mature T lymphocytes (i.e., MHC class II-restricted T cells, including most T-helper cells and immunosuppressive regulatory T cells), and a subset of NK-T cells in all mouse strains tested. CD4 has also been detected on pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, bone-marrow myeloid and B-lymphocyte precursors, intrathymic lymphoid precursors, and a subset of splenic dendritic cells. The 53-6.7 antibody reacts with the 38-kDa α and 34-kDa α' chains of the CD8 differentiation antigen (Ly-2 or Lyt-2) expressed on most thymocytes, subpopulations of mature T lymphocytes (including MHC class I-restricted T suppressor/cytotoxic cells and subsets of γδ TCR-bearing cells and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes) of all mouse strains tested. CD8a is also expressed on a subset of dendritic cells. The three antibodies have been titrated and pre-diluted, mixed together, and formulated for optimal staining performance. The Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Isotype Control contains equivalent concentrations of fluorochrome- and isotype-matched negative-control immunoglobulin.

The use of three different fluorochromes for the labeling of the three different antibodies permits the recognition of each of the three antigens on each cell in a sample. The levels of expression of the three antigens distinguish the major subpopulations of developing and peripheral T lymphocytes. Additional fluorochrome-labeled reagents may be combined with the Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Antibody Cocktail, and the Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Isotype Control, to further characterize T-cell subpopulations.

The Mouse T Lymphocyte Subset Isotype Control contains equivalent concentrations of fluorochrome- and isotype-matched

negative-control immunoglobulin consisting of the following: PE-Cy7 Armenian hamster IgG1, κ (clone A19-3),  and PE and APC Rat IgG2a, κ (clone R35-95).

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed. The antibody was conjugated with PE-Cy7 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE-Cy7 were removed. 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.

Product Notices

  1. 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).
  2. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  3. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  5. PE-Cy7 is a tandem fluorochrome composed of R-phycoerythrin (PE), which is excited by 488-nm light and serves as an energy donor, coupled to the cyanine dye Cy7, which acts as an energy acceptor and fluoresces maximally at 780 nm. PE-Cy7 tandem fluorochrome emission is collected in a detector for fluorescence wavelengths of 750 nm and higher. Although every effort is made to minimize the lot-to-lot variation in the efficiency of the fluorochrome energy transfer, differences in the residual emission from PE may be observed. Therefore, we recommend that individual compensation controls be performed for every PE-Cy7 conjugate. PE-Cy7 is optimized for use with a single argon ion laser emitting 488-nm light, and there is no significant overlap between PE-Cy7 and FITC emission spectra. When using dual-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PE and Cy7, we recommend the use of cross-beam compensation during data acquisition or software compensation during data analysis.
  6. Warning: Some APC-Cy7 and PE-Cy7 conjugates show changes in their emission spectrum with prolonged exposure to formaldehyde. If you are unable to analyze fixed samples within four hours, we recommend that you use BD™ Stabilizing Fixative (Cat. No. 338036).
  7. Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
  8. This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
