Flow cytometry Anti-bodies Mouse - Granzyme B

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
For flow cytometry analysis, BD GolgiPlug Protein Transport Inhibitor (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) was added, and cells were cultured for 10 h in 5% CO2 at 37 °C.
Protocol tips
After incubation, cells were washed with FACS buffer (PBS with 2% FBS) and stained with Acqua Live/Dead (Invitrogen, USA) for 10 min at 4 °C for dead cell exclusion. Cells were washed and stained for surface molecules for 30 min at 4 °C, fixed and permeabilized according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Cytofix/Cytoperm, BD Biosciences, USA). After washing, cells were incubated with antibodies against intracellular antigens for 30 min at 4 °C. Cells were then washed and suspended in 200 μL of FACS buffer for cytometry analysis.
Downstream tips
Data were collected using an LSR II (BD Immunocytometry Systems, USA) with Diva (BD Biosciences, USA). At least 100,000 gated events were acquired.
Upstream tips
Spleens and tumors were excised from the 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. Single cell suspensions were produced by homogenizing the spleen samples, and the tumors were minced and subsequently digested with 500 U/mL collagenase type IV (Sigma) for 1 h at 37 °C with agitation. The resulting single cell suspensions were suspended in RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, Gibco, England).
Protocol tips
Abs were added to the cells and incubated for 30 min. Cells were then fixed and permeabilized, and intracellular staining was performed using an anti-granzyme B PE antibody (clone NGZB, eBioscience). All staining reactions were performed in a final volume of 100 μl at 4 °C.
Downstream tips
Data were acquired using a FACS Calibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) and analyzed using FlowJo v7.6.2 software (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR, USA).
Protocol tips
IgG isotype controls were used as parallels. At last, we applied ALSRFortessa flow cytometry platform and Flowjo Software to analyze output data.
