Flow cytometry Anti-bodies Mouse - CD103

Flow cytometry is an immunophenotyping technique whereby sing cell suspensions are stained for either cell surface markers or intracellular proteins by fluorescently-labelled antibodies and analyzed with a flow cytometer, where fluorescently-labelled molecules are excited by the laser to emit light at varying wavelengths, which is then detected by the instrument. There are several key criteria which are required to be kept in mind while designing a flow experiment- 1. Antibody titration (optimal dilution of antibodies should be calculated in order to avoid over- or under- saturated signals for proper detection of surface and intracellular markers), 2. Precision (3 or more replicates of the sample should be used per experiment), 3. Specificity (proper isotype controls should be included in the experiment), 4. Day-to-day variability (experiments should be repeated 3 or more times to ensure consistency and avoid variability due to flow cytometer settings), 5. Antibody interaction (Fluorescence minus one or FMO should be used, which is the comparison of signals from panel minus one antibody vs. the full panel), and 6. Antibody stability (fluorescently-labelled antibodies should be stored at 4C).

Upstream tips
Skin tissue was incubated for 90 min at 37°C in dispase (2.5mg/ml) followed by the separation of epidermis and dermis. Epidermal sheets were subsequently incubated for 30 min in trypsin/EDTA and remaining skin tissue was chopped into small fragments and incubated for 30 min at 37°C in collagenase type 3 (3 mg/ml).
Protocol tips
For recovery of T cells from the lung, mice were injected i.v. with 3 μg of Alexa Fluor 700-conjugated antibody to CD3 10 min prior to sacrifice, and mice were then perfused before the collection of lung tissue that was digested for 90 min in collagenase type 3 (3 mg/ml). For intracellular staining, cells were fixed using Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience) before staining with intracellular antibodies.
Upstream tips
Single-cell suspensions were incubated with a Fc receptor block (1 μg/1 × 106 cells; BD Bioscience, San Diego, CA) to reduce nonspecific anti-body binding.
Protocol tips
Dead cells were excluded using a Live/Dead Fixable Blue Dead Cell Stain Kit (Invitrogen) or 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO).
Downstream tips
Flow cytometry was performed using BD LSR II and BD FACS Aria III flow cytometers (BD Bioscience), and data were analyzed with FlowJo software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR).
Upstream tips
For staining of mouse lymph nodes, cells were prepared by rapidly passing the whole node through a 40 um mesh, then stained using short incubation times (10 min on ice), as described (Sharma et al., 2013).
