Expression of IL-5 by stimulated mouse CD4+ T cells. Purified splenic CD4+ cells from 6-month old BALB/c mice were stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (clone 145-2C11, Cat. No. 553057 at 25 µg/ml) and soluble anti-mouse CD28 (clone 37.51, Cat. No. 553294 at 2 µg/ml) for 2 days in culture together with recombinant mouse IL-2 (10 ng/ml, Cat. No. 550069) and recombinant mouse IL-4 (0.5 ng/ml, Cat. No. 550067), followed by a 3 day incubation with only recombinant IL-2 and IL-4. This was followed by a 5 hour stimulation with plate-bound anti-CD3 (25 µg/ml) and anti-mouse CD28 (2 µg/ml) in the presence of BD GolgiStop™ (Cat. No. 554724). The cells were harvested, stained with 0.05 µg of FITC-conjugated rat anti-mouse CD4 (FITC-RM4-5, Cat. No. 553047), fixed, permeabilized, and subsequently stained with 0.12 µg of PE-conjugated rat anti-mouse/human IL-5 antibody (PE-TRFK5, Cat. No. 554395) by using the BD Pharmingen staining protocol (left panel). The binding of PE-TRFK5 was blocked by preincubation of the conjugate with recombinant mouse IL-5 (0.25 µg; Cat. No. 554581; right panel). The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the unstained cell control.

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
Recommended Assay Procedure:
For optimal immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis, this anti-cytokine antibody should be titrated (≤ 0.5 µg mAb/million cells). A suitable rat IgG1 isotype control assessing the level of background staining on fixed/permeabilized or human cells is PE-R3-34 (Cat. No. 554685). An isotype control should be used at comparable concentrations to antibody of interest. For specific methodology, please visit our website protocol section or refer to Chapter 4: Immunofluorescent Staining of Intracellular Molecules for Flow Cytometric Analysis in our handbook: Techniques for Immune Function Analysis Application Handbook 1st Edition. 2003 also found at www.bdbiosciences.com.
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.

Antibody Details
TRFK5
The TRFK5 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-5 (IL-5) and cross-reacts with human IL-5. The TRFK5 antibody has been reported to cross react with IL-5 from rhesus monkey. This is a neutralizing antibody.

Format Details
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.
