Abstract
Flow Cytometry
Cells preparation
Cells preparation
Cells are detached and centrifuged at 300xg for 10 minutes
Pellet is incubated with 1:50 conjugated antibody in MACS buffer for 15 minutes protected from the light
Cold MACS buffer is added
Cells are centrifuged at 300xg for 10 minutes
Cell pellet is resuspended in cold MACS buffer and incubated with 1:500 of Propidium iodide at RT for 5 minutes to determine cellular viability of the culture. Unstained cells are used as negative controls.
Staining and Fluorescence Analysis
Staining and Fluorescence Analysis
Analyzes of staining percentage and fluorescence intensities are done with Kaluza software (Beckman Coulter Life Sciences).
