Brilliant Violet™ Fluorophores

Brilliant Violet™ antibody conjugates, proudly co-developed by BioLegend and Sirigen, are an innovative class of novel research reagents, providing more options for your multicolor flow cytometry panels and getting you better results. Maximize the capacity of your violet laser with our large selection of directly labeled Brilliant Violet™ antibody conjugates.

The Brilliant Violet™ family of fluorescent molecules are organic polymers with an extraordinary capacity to absorb energy (extinction coefficient) and a high efficiency with which to convert that absorbed energy to an emitted signal (quantum yield). When conjugated to antibodies, this results in high intensity brightness on labeled cells. Optimally excited by the violet laser at 405 nm, the Brilliant Violet™ family of fluorophores spans a wide range of emissions, allowing them to be used together in multicolor panels. Unlike quantum dots, conjugated polymers have discrete excitation spectra, similar to that of organic dyes, which minimizes potential issues with cross-beam compensation.

Brilliant Violet™ Fluorophores

Easy to Use and Trouble-FreeBrilliant Violet™ antibodies are simple to use, compatible with standard staining buffers, and stable to fixation. Provided in convenient 5 μL test sizes at optimal ready-to-use concentrations, our Brilliant Violet™ conjugates can easily be added to your multi-color panels. Mouse products are now offered in microgram (µg) size for exceptional value. To compare fluorescence spectra data of Brilliant Violet™ conjugates with our other fluorophores, use our Fluorescence Spectra Analyzer at: biolegend.com/spectraanalyzer.

The TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) consists of a group of glycoproteins characterized by cysteine-rich motifs in the extracellular domain (CRDs). These receptors share about 20–30% overall homology. Most TNFRSF are type I membrane proteins (with an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminus). TNFRSF members can be divided into death receptors, decoy receptors, and activating receptors. Most activating receptors mediate intracellular signals through adaptor proteins, i.e., TNF receptor-associated factors (TRAFs), while the death receptors mediate intracellular signals through death domain (DD) associated proteins (FADD, TRADD). Members of the TNFRSF can also be proteolytically cleaved to form soluble receptors that act as “slow release” depots for ligands.Ligands that bind TNFRSF are members of the TNF superfamily (TNFSF). TNFSF ligands are either soluble or membrane-bound

glycoproteins. Soluble TNFSF proteins usually have biological activities similar to other cytokines. Membrane-bound TNFSF ligands are type II transmembrane proteins (extracellular C-terminus) with short cytoplasmic domains and longer extracellular regions. Most TNFSF molecules are homotrimeric and share a common structural motif, the TNF homology domain (THD), which binds to the CRDs of TNFRs. The interaction of TNFSF ligands with their receptors plays divergent and important roles in the regulation of cell growth, survival, and death. Abnormal expression of some family members results in a variety of pathophysiological states, including immune deficiency, autoimmune diseases, and enhanced tumor growth and metastasis. TNFRSF/TNFSF molecules have proven to be effective clinical therapeutic targets.

Cell Surface Immunofluorescence Staining ProtocolHarvest Tissue or Cells:1. Obtain desired tissue (e.g., spleen, lymph node, thymus, bone

marrow) and prepare a single cell suspension in Cell Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 420201) by gently mashing. Debris can be removed by filtration of the cell suspension through 70–100 μm nylon mesh strainer. If using in vitro stimulated cells, simply resuspend previously activated cultures in Cell Staining Buffer and proceed to Step 2.

2. Add Cell Staining Buffer up to ~15 mL and centrifuge at 350 × g for 5 minutes, discard supernatant, then proceed to step 6.

Lyse Red Blood Cells:3. If necessary (e.g., spleen), dilute 10× Red Blood Cell (RBC) Lysis

Buffer (Cat. No. 420301) to 1× working concentration with DI water and resuspend pellet in 3 mL 1× RBC Lysis Buffer. Incubate on ice for 5 minutes.

4. Stop cell lysis by adding 10 mL Cell Staining Buffer to the tube. Centrifuge for 5 minutes at 350 × g and discard supernatant.

5. Repeat wash as in step 2.6. Count viable cells and resuspend in Cell Staining Buffer at 5–10 ×

106 cells/mL and distribute 100 μL/tube of cell suspension into 12 × 75 mm plastic tubes.

mediated nonspecific staining. In the mouse, TruStain fcX™(anti-mouse CD16/32) (Cat. No. 101319/20) can be used to block nonspecific staining of antibodies. In this case, block Fc receptors by pre-incubating cells with 1.0 μg Mouse TruStain fcX™ per 106

cells in a 100 μL volume for 5-10 minutes. To block Fc receptors on human cells, Human TruStain FcX™ (Cat. No. 422301/2) is recommended.

Cell-Surface Staining with Antibody:8. Add appropriately conjugated fluorescent, biotinylated, or purified

primary antibodies (e.g., anti-CD3-FITC, anti-CD4-Biotin, and anti-CD8-APC) at predetermined optimum concentrations and incubate on ice for 15–20 minutes in the dark.

9. Wash 2× with at least 2 mL of Cell Staining Buffer by centrifugation at 350 × g for 5 minutes, discard supernatant.

10. If using a purified primary antibody, resuspend pellet in residual buffer and add previously determined optimum concentrations of anti-species immunoglobulin fluorochrome conjugated secondary antibody (e.g., FITC anti-mouse Ig) and incubate in the dark for 15–20 minutes.

If using a biotinylated primary antibody, resuspend cell pellet in residual buffer and add previously determined optimum concentrations of fluorochrome conjugated Streptavidin (SAv) reagent (e.g., SAv-PE, Cat. No. 405204) and incubate on ice for 15–20 minutes in the dark.

11. Repeat step 9.

12. Resuspend cell pellet in 0.5 mL of Cell Staining Buffer and add 10 μL (0.25 µg)/million cells of 7-AAD Viability Staining Solution (Cat. No. 420403/4) to exclude dead cells.

Intracellular Cytokine Staining ProtocolApplication Notes:1. Cytokine-producing cells can be prepared from in vivo-stimulated

tissues or from in vitro-stimulated cultures (e.g., antigen-specific activation or mitogen-induced). It is critical to include a protein transport inhibitor such as brefeldin A (Cat. No. 420601) or monensin (Cat. No. 420701) in the last 4–6 hours of in vitro cell culture.

2. Different cytokines/chemokines have different production peaks. In order to obtain optimal staining signals, the stimulation conditions for each stimulant need to be optimized.

3. Some antibodies recognizing native cell surface markers may not bind to fixed/denatured antigens. For this reason, it is recommended that staining of cell surface antigens be done with live, unfixed cells PRIOR to fixation/permeabilization and staining of intracellular cytokines. Altering the procedure such that cells are fixed prior to staining of cell surface antigens requires that paraformaldehyde-denatured antigen-reactive antibody clones be empirically identified.

Fixation:1. If staining intracellular antigens (e.g., IFN-γ or IL-4), first perform

cell surface antigen staining as described in BioLegend’s Cell Surface Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol, then fix cells in 0.5 mL/tube Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801) in the dark for 20 minutes at room temperature.

2. Centrifuge at 350 × g for 5 minutes, discard supernatant.3. The experiment can be put “on hold” at this point for future staining and

analysis. For short-term storage (<2 weeks), resuspend the cells in 0.5-1 mL/tube Cyto-Last™ Buffer (Cat. No. 422501), mix, cap the tubes, and then store at 4°C in the dark (Note: Cyto-Last™ Buffer can also be used for preserving cells in bulk at a cell concentration of 0.5-2.0 x 106 cells/mL). For long-term storage of fixed cells without surface antigen staining, dilute the cells in 90% FCS/10% DMSO for storage at -80°C. The frequencies of cytokine-producing cells present in activated human PBMC cultures can vary widely due to donor variability. Therefore, cryopreserved cells from a single donor are useful for longitudinal studies.

Permeabilization:4. Dilute 10× Permeabilization Wash Buffer (Cat. No. 421001) to 1× in DI water.5. Resuspend fixed cells in 2 mL Permeabilization Wash Buffer and

centrifuge at 350 × g for 5–10 minutes, discard supernatant.6. Repeat step 5 twice.

Intracellular Staining:7. Resuspend fixed/permeabilized cells in residual Permeabilization

Wash Buffer and add a predetermined optimum concentration of fluorochrome conjugated antibody of interest (e.g., anti-IFN-γ-PE) or an appropriate negative control, gently mix and then incubate for 20 minutes in the dark at room temperature.

8. Add 2 mL of Permeabilization Wash Buffer, centrifuge at 350 × g for 5 minutes, discard supernatant.

9. Repeat Step 8.

10. Resuspend cell pellet in 0.5 mL Cell Staining Buffer and analyze under flow cytometry with appropriate machine settings.

Note: To confirm specific anti-cytokine staining, a blocking experiment is recommended in which cells are fixed/permeabilized then preincubated with an excess amount of unlabeled anti-cytokine antibody and/or the recombinant cytokine of interest is preincubated with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-cytokine antibody before its addition to the cells.

Activation and Intracellular Staining of Whole Blood:1. Dilute heparinized whole blood 1:1 with sterile appropriate tissue

culture medium.2. At this stage, in vitro cellular stimulation by either antigen or

mitogen can be performed. If intending to stain intracellular antigens (e.g., IFN-γ or IL-4), addition of an efficient protein transport inhibitor such as brefeldin A (Cat. No. 420601) or monensin (Cat. No. 420701) is critical. After addition of a suitable cellular activator, aliquot 200 μL of the whole blood cell suspension into 12 × 75 mm plastic tubes and incubate for 4–6 hours in 5% CO2 at 37°C.

3. Add 2 mL of 1× Red Blood Cell Lysis Buffer (Cat. No. 420301) and incubate for 5–10 minutes at room temperature.

4. Centrifuge at 350 × g for 5 minutes and discard the supernatant.5. Wash cells 1× with 2 mL Cell Staining Buffer and perform cell

surface immunofluorescent staining.6. Fix, permeabilize and stain intracellular antigens as described above.

Flow Cytometric Analysis:1. Set PMT voltage and compensation using cell surface staining

controls. Set quadrant markers based on blocking controls, isotype controls, or unstained cells. For proper flow cytometric analysis, cells stained by this method should be inspected by light microscopy and/or flow light scatter pattern to confirm that they are well dispersed. Bivariate dot plots or probability contour plots can be generated upon data analysis to display the frequencies of and patterns by which individual cells co-express certain levels of cell surface antigen and intracellular cytokine proteins.

Th17 Polarization of Mouse CD4 CellsIntroductionT helper 17 (Th17) cells are a subset of CD4 T helper cells characterized by their production of IL-17, particularly IL-17A and IL-17F. They are involved in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, autoimmune uveitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile diabetes, but are also important in anti-microbial defenses at epithelial/ mucosal barriers, particularly against Candida and Staphylococcus. In addition to IL-17, Th17 cells also produce IL-21 and IL-22 that contribute to pro-inflammatory responses. The transcription factors RORα and RORγ have been identified as important factors in the differentiation of these cells. Th17 cells can be induced in vitro by a variety of cytokines including TGF-β, IL-6, IL-21 and IL-23. Here we provide a effective protocol for the generation of mouse IL-17 producing cells in vitro.

Isolation of CD4 cells from lymph nodes1. Harvest lymph nodes (superfical cervical, madibular, axillary,

inguinal, and mesenteric) from mice.2. Tease lymph nodes through a sterile 70-μm nylon cell strainer to

achieve single-cell suspensions in RPMI 1640 contain 10% FCS (complete medium).

3. Resuspend cells in complete medium and use your favorite method to isolate CD4 cells. Check out Biocompare.com to find useful kits.

Th17 Polarization of CD4 cells1. Coat 60 × 15 mm of plastic petri dishes with anti-mouse CD3ε, clone

145-2C11 (2 μg/mL). Incubate at 37°C for 2 hours or 4°C overnight. Aseptically decant antibody solution from the plate. Wash plate 3 times with sterile PBS. Discard liquid.

2. Plate CD4 cells at 1 x 106/mL. Culture cells for 3 days in presence of anti-mouse CD28, clone 37.51 (5 μg/mL), IL-6 (50 ng/mL), TGF-β1 (1ng/mL), anti-mouse IL-4 (10 μg/mL), anti-mouse IFN-γ (10 μg/mL), and 300 nM of FICZ. Alternatively, mouse IL-23 (5 ng/mL) can be used in place of FICZ.

3. On day 3, wash cells once and then restimulate in complete medium with 500 ng/mL PdBU, and 500 ng/mL ionomycin, in the presence of Brefeldin A for 4 - 5 hours.

4. After harvesting, the cells are ready for staining.

tube containing washed protein A or G agarose bead slurry (30 μL packed beads) and rock the mixture for 30 min at 4°C.

5. Remove the agarose beads by pulsing in a microcentrifuge (5 seconds at 14,000 rpm, 4°C).

6. Transfer supernatant and place in a fresh pre-cooled microcentrifuge tube containing ~4 µg antibody and rock gently at 4°C for 2 hrs. Capture the immune complex by adding 50 μL of washed protein A or G agarose bead slurry (30 μL packed beads) and rock the mixture for 1 hr at 4°C.

7. Collect the agarose beads by spinning in a centrifuge (30 seconds at 3,000 rpm, 4° C). Aspirate and discard supernatant. Wash beads 3 times with cold cell lysis buffer.

8. After final wash, remove supernatant and add 40 μL 2× SDS sample buffer. Boil for 5 min at 95°C and pellet beads at maximum speed in a microcentrifuge for 5 min at room temperature. Carefully collect supernatant.

9. Load up to 30 μL of sample per well of a 1.5 mm thick gel. Run gel according to manufacturer’s recommendations and continue with immunoblotting using BioLegend’s Western Blotting Protocol, p. 50 (alternatively, radiolabeled proteins prepared from target cells can be used to directly visualize the immunoprecipitated protein).

Tips:1. The choice of lysis buffer depends on the location of the protein

(membrane, cytosolic, nuclear).2. Immunoprecipitates allowed to incubate overnight may have a

higher background than ones processed for shorter periods of time due to time-dependent aggregation or denaturation of cellular proteins.

3. Always use an isotype-matched irrelevant control antibody (monoclonal) or same-species serum from a non-immunized animal to remove non-specific antibody binding in cellular lysates.

Cytokine ELISA Troubleshooting TipsPoor Signal-to-Noise Ratio• Titrate capture antibody and detection antibody against each other

to obtain optimal dilutions.• Try capture antibody at 0.5 – 8 µg/mL (generally 2 µg/mL).• Try detection antibody at 0.25 – 2 µg/mL (generally 1 µg/mL).

Low Sensitivity• Try overnight incubations of standards and samples at 4°C.

Poor Signal• If using HRP, avoid sodium azide in wash buffers and diluents, as

sodium azide inhibits HRP enzyme activity.• Verify that appropriate antibody pairs were used and that samples

and/or standards are expected to react with the antibody pairs.• Check activity of enzyme and substrate by coating with Detection

Antibody (1 µg/mL), adding Avidin-HRP and developing with appropriate substrate. If enzyme/substrate is active, a strong signal should be observed.

Poor Standard Curve• Recombinant protein vials should be quick-spun for maximum

recovery. • BioLegend suggests that cytokines be stored in a concentrated

format (>100 ng/mL) at -70°C. Do not repeatedly freeze-thaw the recombinant protein standard, as loss of activity may occur.

High Background• Increase stringency of washing steps by soaking plates for ~1

minute between washes.• Determine optimum Capture and Detection Antibody dilutions.• Increase the dilution of the Detection Antibody and/or increase the

number of washes after Avidin-HRP incubation.

Immunocytochemistry and ImmunohistochemistryTips for Successful Immunodetection1. Conditions for fixation and permeabilization will depend on whether

the specimen is a well of cultured cells or mounted tissue sections of varying thickness. The most common method of fixation is incubation in 2-4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), anywhere from 15 minutes at room temperature to overnight at 4°C. Paraformaldehyde fixes the specimen by covalently cross-linking neighboring primary-amine containing proteins with one another. This preserves cellular morphology and allows storage of the specimen. Fixation is followed by washing in a serum-containing wash buffer to quench the cross-linking action of the PFA and incubation in a permeabilization buffer of Triton X-100 or Tween-20 (check out http://www.labome.com/method/Detergents-Triton-X-100-Tween-20-and-More.html for questions on how detergents differ). Since Triton X-100 solubilizes the membrane to create irreversible holes, it is the most commonly used permeabilization agent, utilized anywhere from 0.01-0.2% in PBS. In order to allow open access to the antigen, adequate holes in the cellular membrane (and any sub-cellular compartments like the nuclear membrane) are required. If the intent is to detect antigens contained in these compartments, a harsher fixation and permeabilization may be required than a condition that had been suitable for detection of cytoplasmic targets in cultured cell specimens.

2. Antigen retrieval can be required for tissues that are paraffin embedded. For fluorescence microscopy, frozen tissue preservation is preferred to reduce the contribution of the paraffin and subsequent processing of deparaffination to the creation of unnecessary autofluorescent background signal. Frozen tissue preparations also do not require the more extensive sample preparation and antigen retrieval typically required for paraffin-embedded specimens. The conditions for antigen retrieval need to be optimized for each protein, since changes in temperature, duration of incubation and pH of the citrate buffer used in the antigen retrieval can affect the conformation of the antigen and thus, the ability of the antibody to detect the appropriate epitope. A general protocol to begin optimization can be found at: biolegend.com/IHC_Paraffin

3. Blocking buffers need to be included in a protocol in response to the complexity of the specimen and the combination of reagents being used in the detection.

a. Endogenous peroxidase quenching is included in a protocol when performing chromogenic IHC and using a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme conjugated to the primary or secondary antibody that will convert the chromogenic substrate (DAB) into a detectable signal. Since peroxidase is endogenous to many cells and tissues, applying a peroxide solution to the biological specimen, prior to the application of any antibodies or any protein blocking solutions, will exhaust that peroxidase activity, so as to prevent any unnecessary background when using the HRP/DAB combination.

b. Endogenous biotin-binding is also a step required when using a biotin-streptavidin detection in tissue slices or cell culture. Biotin is an endogenous metabolic precursor found localized largely in the mitochondria of all cells to varying degrees. You can purchase endogenous biotin blocking kits that can walk you step by step through this process. Biotin-blocking would occur after peroxidase quenching, but prior to protein blocking.

c. Blocking non-specific protein/antibody binding involves incubating samples with complex protein solutions in order to neutralize otherwise chemically “sticky” sites, which can be located either within the tissue or as the antibodies denature and become chemically “sticky” themselves. In some instances, a solution of 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) will suffice, though normally only in less complex biological specimens like cell culture. For primary cultures and tissue sections, much of the unwanted background can be prevented by using FCS (fetal calf serum) or NDS (normal donkey serum). Serum isn’t purified to a single protein like BSA and therefore confers better heterogeneity in blocking sticky targets.

4. Amplification is often required in imaging applications. The lower limits of detection of an antigen are not solely dependent on the abundance of that antigen in imaging applications. What more often influences “detectability” of a target is the sensitivity or efficiency of the microscope you will use. One way to ensure the likelihood of success when imaging a target is to amplify the primary intended signal without increasing the background signal at the same time. There are immunologic methods of amplification. For example, simply using a fluorescent secondary antibody to detect an unconjugated primary is an amplification of the signal one would have gotten if using directly a fluorescently conjugated primary antibody. There are also methods of enzymatic amplification of a fluorescent signal using an HRP-conjugated primary or secondary antibody that converts an indeterminate number of fluorescently labeled tyramide substrates. However, as a general rule, with every additional reagent used in amplification of a signal, a certain amount of background will increase as well, and at some point, a threshold will be met where the increase in signal does not outpace the increase in background.

5. Photoprotection is required for any fixed cell imaging application. All organic fluorophores are susceptible to irreversible photobleaching, resulting from the production of reactive oxygen by-products associated with the excitation of the fluorescent molecules in an aqueous environment. Antifade reagents are rich in antioxidants in an attempt to scavenge those ROS products before they can destroy the integrity of the fluorophore. Antifade is most commonly found in mounting media. Whether a glycerol or curing mounting media should be used is dependent on the application. The quality of the antifade used in different mounting media can vary significantly, so it’s advisable to test out different brands to find the best reagent for your application.
