FACS Analysis

1. Harvest cell using 0.25% trypsin

2. Resuspend in 1ml DMEM/F-12 media with Trypsin inhibitor

3. Placed in a 1.5 ml micro centrifuge tube and spin down

4. Wash with FACS buffer (1XPBS, 5% FBS, and 0.1% sodium azide) in ice

5. Resuspend in 50-100 μl and incubate in ice or 4°C for 30 min ~ 1 hour with appropriate antibody (1:20-1:40 dilution)

6. Wash three times with FACS buffer

7. Incubate with a flourescein-conjugated IgG secondary antibody(1:100) for 30 min.

8. Wash three times with FACS buffer

9. Add 0.5 ~ 1 ml of cold 1% Paraformaldehyde solution to the pellet.

10. Suspense cell immediately

11. Store the fixed cells at 4°C in the dark

12. These cells may be stored for at least one week prior to FACS analysis

IMPORTANT: Protect from direct light
