Expression of IL-10 by stimulated CD4+ rat splenocytes. Purified splenic CD4+ cells from 6 month old Lewis rats were stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (25 µg/ml final concentration; G4.18, Cat. No. 554829) and soluble anti-rat CD28 (2 µg/ml final concentration; clone JJ319, Cat. No. 554993) for 2 days in culture together with rat IL- 2 (10 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No. 555106) and rat IL-4 (10 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No 555107), followed by a 3 day incubation with only rat IL-2 and rat IL-4. This was followed by a 6 hour stimulation with PMA (1 ng/ml final concentration; Sigma, Cat. #P-8139) and Ionomycin (250 ng/ml final concentration; Sigma, Cat. #I-0634) in the presence of BD GolgiStop ™ (2 µM final concentration Cat. No. 554724). The cells were then fixed, permeabilized, and subsequently stained with 0.06 µg of PE Mouse anti rat IL-10 antibody (PE-A5-4, Cat. No. 555088; Left panel) by using Pharmingen's staining protocol. To demonstrate specificity of staining, the binding of the PE-A5-4 antibody was blocked by preincubation of the PE- conjugated antibody with recombinant rat IL-10 (0.25 µg, Cat. No. 555113; Second panel), and by preincubation of the fixed/permeabilized cells with the unlabeled A5-4 antibody (10 µg; Right panel) prior to staining. 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 unlabeled antibody blocking (Right panel) specificity controls.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Immunoflourecent Staining and Flow Cytometric Analysis: The PE-conjugated A5-4 antibody (Cat. No. 555088) can be used for multicolor immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analyses to identify and enumerate IL-10-producing cells within mixed cell populations (See Figure). For optimal immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis, this anti-cytokine antibody should be titrated (≤ 0.5 µg mAb/million cells). For specific methodology, please visit our web site, w ww.bdbiosciences.com , and go to the protocols section or the chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook. An appropriate isotype control is Cat. No. 555058.
A useful control for demonstrating specificity of staining is either of the following: 1) preblock the conjugated A5-4 antibody with a ligand (e.g., recombinant rat IL-10; Cat. No. 555113) prior to staining, or 2) pre-block the fixed/permeabilized cells with unconjugated A5-4 antibody prior to staining. The staining technique and use of blocking controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- 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.
The A5-4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to rat interleukin-10 (IL-10). The immunogen used to generate the A5-4 hybridoma was recombinant rat IL-10 protein.
