FITC Rat Anti-Mouse Ig, κ Light Chain
Detection of intracellular kappa light chains in an antibody-secreting hybridoma cell line. Cells were fixed, permeabilized, and stained according to the method described in the recommended assay procedure below using FITC-conjugated 187.1 mAb (solid line, Cat. No. 550003) or the matched isotype control, FITC-conjugated R3-34 mAb (dotted line, Cat. No. 554684). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur ™ flow cytometry system.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with FITC under optimum conditions, and unreacted FITC was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

FITC-conjugated 187.1 mAb may be used as a primary or secondary reagent in immunofluorecent staining.

IMMUNOFLUORESCENT STAINING OF INTRACELLULAR IMMUNOGLOBULIN (Ig) PROTOCOL

1. Prepare a single-cell suspension and determine cell number.

2. Suspend cells in staining buffer (PBS + 2% FBS + 0.1% Sodium Azide) at 2 × 10e7 cells/ml and transfer to U-bottom microwell plates in 50 µl/well for immunofluorescent staining.

Note: The BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer with FBS (Cat. No. 554656) is effective for use as a staining buffer in this protocol.

3. Block Fcγ receptors by adding 0.2 µg of purified 2.4G2 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™ purified anti-mouse CD16/CD32 mAb 2.4G2) (Cat. No. 553141/553142) in 50 µl of staining buffer to each well.

4. Incubate 5 minutes on ice.

5. Add 200 µl of staining buffer/well and resuspend cells.  Centrifuge at 250 × g for 5 minutes and aspirate supernatant.

6. Block surface Ig with purified 187.1 mAb (Cat. No. 559749) by adding 1.0 µg per sample in 50 µl of staining buffer/well.

Note: Surface markers may be stained during this step as described in the "Immunofluorescent Staining of Mouse and Rat Leukocytes for Flow Cytometry" in the Technical Protocols section of our web site at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/pharmingen/protocols/Mouse_and_Rat_Leukocytes.shtml

7. Incubate 15 minutes on ice.

8. Wash 2× as described in Step 5.

9. Resuspend cells in 100 µl of BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ intracellular staining buffer (BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Kit, Cat. No. 554714) per well.

10. Incubate 30 minutes at room temperature.

11. Wash 2× with 200 µl of 1× Perm/Wash buffer (provided in the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit) per well. Centrifuge at 250 ×g for 5 minutes and aspirate supernatant between washes.

12. Stain intracellular Ig by adding ≤ 1 µg of FITC-conjugated 187.1 mAb in 50 µl of 1 × Perm/Wash buffer/well.

Note: Other antibodies recommended for staining of intracellular markers may be added during this step as described in Step 12.

13. Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature.

14. Wash 2× as described in Step 11.

15. Resuspend and transfer samples in 100 µl of staining buffer to tubes appropriate for analysis with a flow cytometer. Bring volume in each tube to 400 µl with staining buffer.

16. Analyze samples on a flow cytometer.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. 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.

187.1

The 187.1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to kappa light chains of mouse immunoglobulins. The 187.1 antibody does not react with mouse λ1 or λ2 immunoglobulin lights chains or mouse immunoglobulin heavy chains.

This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.

FITC
Fluorescein (FITC) is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 518-nm. FITC is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520 nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
