Intranuclear Factor Staining Procedure

Sample Preparation
For details, see flow cytometry sample preparation techniques
1. Collect cells, filter through a 200-mesh sieve, collect the filtrate, centrifuge at 300×g for 5 min, and discard the supernatant.
2. Add appropriate amount of Cell Staining Buffe to the cells, and resuspend the cells by gently blowing with a pipette gun.

Cell counting
After counting the suspension with a hemocyte counting board or other instruments, adjust the cell concentration to about 1 × 107/mL.

Setting up experimental groups
According to the experimental design, set up the experimental group and add 100 μL of cell suspension to each tube.

Experimental Grouping Effect
Negative/blank control Adjusting Instrument Voltage
Single stain/single positive control Regulatory Compensation
Isotype control Remove background staining
FMO control Determining the accuracy of the gate
Biological control Comparison of experimental results
Experimental Grouping Results

Closure of Fc Receptors
Closure of the Fc receptor reduces non-specific staining during the staining process.
For mouse samples, purified CD16/CD32 monoclonal antibody binds to FcγRIII/II, sealing off non-specific staining and reducing the background fluorescence of negative cells to the level of unlabeled cells. Add 0.5~1 μg of pure anti-mouse CD16/32 monoclonal antibody and incubate for 10 min at room temperature.
For rat samples, blocking can be performed with an excess of purified Ig of the same source and isoform as the fluorescent antibody or serum of the same source, or with a commercial Fc receptor blocker.
For human samples, purified CD16 monoclonal antibody can be used as a blocking FCR blocker. Add 1 μg of pure anti-human CD16 monoclonal antibody and incubate for 10 min at room temperature.


Incubation of cell surface antibodies
According to the experimental design, except for the blank control, add 5 μL of the corresponding antibody to the corresponding single-stained and whole-stained tubes, mix well, and incubate for 30 min at 4℃ away from light.


fixation of rupture of membranes
