CD154 expression on activated and resting T lymphocytes. BALB/c spleen T cells, purified on a T Cell Enrichment Column (R&D Systems), were cultured for 8 hours in the presence (Panels A and C) of plate-bound 500A2 antibody (anti-CD3e, Cat. No. 553238), or freshly isolated splenocytes (Panels B and D) were stained with PE-conjugated MR1 antibody (Panels A and B), or unstained (Panels C and D). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ 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 R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

For the detection of mouse CD154 on activated peripheral T cells, it is strongly recommended that T cells be purified before activation. Mouse CD154 is transiently expressed on the surfaces of activated normal T cells and certain T cell clones with a maximal level detected 6-8 hours post-activation. Activation with immobilized anti-CD3e mAb (e.g., 145-2C11, Cat. No. 557306/553058, or 500A2, Cat. No. 553238) is sufficient to induce CD154 expression on CD4+ cells. It has been reported that CD8+ cells express CD154 only in response to PMA/Ionomycin treatment. Therefore, for detection of CD154, it is crucial to utilize the proper activation stimuli and to stain cells at the optimal time for CD154 expression.

MR1

The MR1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD154 (CD40 Ligand, gp39), an accessory molecule expressed on activated T helper (CD4+) lymphocytes. CD154 has also been detected on other types of leukocytes, including CD8+ T cells, medullary thymocytes, activated CD4+ NK-T cells, and human NK cells. CD154 plays an important role in costimulatory interactions between T and B lymphocytes and between antigen-presenting cells and lymphocytes, regulating the immune response at multiple levels. MR1 mAb inhibits in vitro activation of B lymphocytes by T helper cells by blocking interaction of gp39 with CD40. In vitro interactions of T cells and antigen-presenting cells can also be blocked by the MR1 antibody. In vivo treatment with MR1 antibody blocks the development of experimental autoimmune disease, inhibits formation of germinal centers and generation of memory B cells, reduces T-lymphocyte responses to allogeneic cells and allografts, prevents intrathymic deletion of self-reactive T lymphocytes, and disrupts antigen-specific T-cell responses.

PE
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.
