Clone MP1-22E9

(RUO)

Expression of GM-CSF by stimulated CD4+ Balb/c spleen cells. Purified splenic CD4+ cells from 6 month old BALB/c mice were stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (25 µg/ml final concentration; clone 145-2C11, Cat. No. 553057) and soluble anti-mouse CD28 (2 µg/ml final concentration; clone 37.51, Cat. No. 553294) for 2 days in culture together with recombinant mouse IL-2 (10 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No. 550069) and recombinant mouse IL-4 (1 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No. 550067), followed by a 3 day incubation with only recombinant mouse IL-2 and recombinant mouse IL-4. This was followed by a 5 hours stimulation with plate-bound anti-CD3 (25 µg/ml final concentration) and anti-mouse CD28 (2 µg/ml final concentration) in the presence of BD GolgiStop™ (2 µM final concentration; Cat. No. 554724). The cells were then stained with 0.06 µg of FITC rat anti-mouse CD4 (FITC-RM4-5, Cat. No. 553047) fixed, permeabilized, and subsequently stained with 0.12 µg of PE rat anti-mouse GM-CSF antibody by using the Pharmingen staining protocol (left panel). To demonstrate specificity of staining, the binding of PE-MP1-22E9 was blocked by the preincubation of the conjugated antibody with recombinant mouse GM-CSF (1 µg, Cat. No. 554586; center panel), and by preincubation of the fixed/permeabilized cells with the unlabelled MP1-22E9 mouse antibody (10 µg, Cat. No. 556916; right panel). The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the autofluorescence control, and verified with the recombinant cytokine blocking (center panel) and unlabelled antibody blocking (right panel) specificity controls.

Product Details

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Reactivity: Mouse (QC Testing)

Isotype: Rat IgG2a

Immunogen: Recombinant Mouse GM-CSF

Application: Flow cytometry (Routinely Tested), ELISA Capture (Tested During Development)

Concentration: 0.2 mg/ml

RRID: AB_395371

Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing ≤0.09% sodium azide.

Regulatory Status: RUO

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. 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.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Immunofluorescent Staining and Flow Cytometric Analysis: The MP1-22E9 antibody is useful for immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis to identify and enumerate GM-CSF producing cells within mixed cell populations. The PE-conjugated MP1-22E9 antibody (Cat. No. 554406) is especially suitable for these experiments (see Figure). For optimal immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis, this anti-cytokine antibody should be titrated (≤0.5 µg mAb/million cells). For specific methodology, please visit the protocols section or chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook, both of which are posted on our web site, www.bdbiosciences.com.

A useful control for demonstrating specificity of staining is either of the following: 1) pre-block the PE-MP1-22E9 antibody with ligand (e.g., mouse GM-CSF, Cat. No. 554586) prior to staining, or 2) pre-block paraformaldehyde-fixed/saponin-permeabilized cells with unlabeled MP1-22E9 antibody (Cat. No. 554404) 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 immunoglobulin for assessing the level of background staining on paraformaldehyde-fixed/saponin-permeabilized mouse cells is the PE-R35-95 antibody (Cat. No. 554689); use at comparable concentrations to antibody of interest

ELISA Capture: The purified MP1-22E9 antibody (Cat. No. 554404) is useful as a capture antibody for a sandwich ELISA for measuring mouse GM-CSF protein levels. The purified MP1-22E9 antibody can be paired with the biotinylated MP1-31G6 antibody (Cat. No. 554407) as the detection antibody, with recombinant mouse GM-CSF (Cat. No. 554586) as the standard.

Neutralization: The NA/LE™ MP1-22E9 antibody (Cat. No. 554403) is useful for neutralization of mouse GM-CSF bioactivity. A suitable NA/LE™ rat IgG2a isotype control to match the MP1-22E9 antibody is the R35-95 antibody, Cat. No. 554687.

Antibody Details

MP1-22E9

The MP1-22E9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF). The immunogen used to generate the MP1-22E9 hybridoma was yeast-expressed recombinant mouse GM-CSF. This is a neutralizing antibody.

Format Details

R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.

Format: PE

Excitation Source: Yellow-Green 488 nm, 532 nm, 561 nm
