WHOLE blood method
Due to sophisticated laser flowcytometry we are now able to distinguish populations of human lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes by their characteristics in different light scattering. By gating on the appropriate cell cluster (Fig.2) we can easily determine mononuclear cells, which have been immunofluorescently stained with monoclonal antibodies, and enumerate them.
Reagents and materials
- FITC-conjugated monoclonal antibodies.
- Lysing solution (NH 4Cl, pH 7.2).
- Buffer: PBS, containing 0.2 % BSA.
- PFA: Para-Formaldehyde 1%, pH 7.2, containing 0.2 % BSA.
- Tubes.
Procedure
1 Draw blood into a blood collection tube containing EDTA.
2 Deliver 100 µl (*) of well mixed whole blood to the bottom of the testtube.
3 Add 10 µl of the undiluted antibody to the bottom of the testtube, and mix gently.
4 Incubate for 30 minutes at 2-8°C or in an ice-water bath.
5 Mix the tubes and add 2 ml of lysing solution.
6 Incubate for 3-5 minutes at room temperature.
7 When lysing is completed, centrifuge the tubes at 500 x g for 5 minutes.
8 Aspirate the supernatant from the cell pellet, resuspend the cells in 1 ml buffer.
Place the tubes in the ice-water bath.
9 Analyse the samples within 8 hours.
If analysis within 8 hours is not possible centrifuge the tubes at 500 x g. Aspirate the supernatant from the cell pellet and resuspend the cells in 1 ml PFA 1%.

Note:Use our special negative control to determine background fluorescence produced due to Fc binding capacities by mononuclear cells.The concentration and F/P ratio of our control has been adjusted to our FITC-conjugated monoclonal antibodies. * This method was developed for blood samples with a normal white count. It may be necessary to adjust the quantity of blood for samples with very high or low white counts

Granulocytes > 95%
Monocytes > 95%
LGL cells > 95%
B-cells (CD20+) > 95%
T-cells (CD3+) 95%
Peripheral blood lymphocytes > 95%
APPLICATIONS:
* Characterisation of LFA-I immunodeficiency.
* Studies involving ICAM-I binding, cell-cell adhesion and cell mediated cytotoxicity.
* Studies of the CD11a moiety in both flow cytometry and on frozen tissue sections
* Studies on adhesion blockade of the CD11a antigen

PRESENTATION: Each monoclonal is delivered in a sealed vial at a concentration of 200µg/2ml in phosphate buffered saline solution containing 10mM sodium azide& 1mg/ml BSA.. We recommend that each laboratory determine an optimum working titre for use in its particular application.
STORAGE: Purified monoclonal antibodies are generally stable for long periods at 4oC. However repeated warming to room temperature and re-cooling may result in a loss of activity and hence effective working titre. It is recommended that monoclonal antibodies are aliquotted upon receipt and then stored at -20C. After thawing they should then be used as a stock solution for up to 60 days. Dilute working solutions are best prepared on the day of use.
