• Background: CD59 can be found in body fluids including blood plasma, saliva, amniotic fluid, seminal fluid, and urine. It is expressed as a 18-25 kD glycoprotein (in lymphocytes)anchored in the membrane by GPI tail. Since CD59 is well known membrane-associated complement regulator protein, like CD55, and present on all blood cells, anti-CD55 and anti-CD59 appear to be the most effective Mabs to detect very minor negative cell subsets (less than 1% on erythrocytes or less than 5% on PMN leukocytes.
• Synonyms: MAC-inhibitory protein, Protectin, MEM43 antigen, MIC11, MIN1, MIN2, MIN3, MSK21, MACIF, MAC-IP, MIRL, HRF20, HRF-20
• Note: 1. Conjugates with brighter fluorochromes, like PE and APC, will have a greater separation than those with dyes like FITC. When populations overlap, the percentage of positive cells using a selected marker can be affected by the choice of fluorescent label.
  2. Use of monoclonal antibodies in patient treatment can interfere with antigen target recognition by this reagent. This should be taken into account when samples are analyzed from patients treated in this fashion.
  3. Reagent data performance is based on EDTA-treated blood. Reagent performance can be affected by the use of other anticoagulants.
  
  Protocol: General flow cytometry method for use with labelled (FITC, R-PE, APC, PerCP or PerCP-Cy5.5) monoclonal antibodies
  1. Add 100 µl of EDTA-treated blood (i.e. approx. 10e6 leukocytes) to a 5 ml reagent tube. The content of one tube is sufficient to perform one test.
  2. Add to each tube 10 µl of labelled monoclonal antibody. (Appropriate mouse Ig isotype control samples should always be included in any labelling study).
  Vortex the tube to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells.
  3. Incubate the tube for 15 minutes at room temperature in the dark.
  4. Add 100 µl of a lyse reagent.
  5. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark.
  6. Add 2 ml of demineralized water and incubate for 10 minutes in the dark.
  7. Centrifuge the labeled cell suspension for 2 minutes at 1000 x g.
  8. Remove the supernatant and resuspend the cells in 200 µl of PBS.
  9. Analyze by flow cytometry within four hours (alternatively, the cells may be fixed by 0.05% of formaline in buffered saline for analysis the next day. Some antigens are readily destroyed upon fixation and this should be taken into account when using this alternative).
  
  Flow cytometry method for use with dual and triple combinations
  1. Add 100 µl of EDTA-treated blood (i.e. approx. 10e6 leukocytes) to a 5 ml reagent tube. The content of one tube is sufficient to perform one test.
  For combinations with anti-kappa and/or anti-lambda Ig see Application note below.
  2. Add to each tube 20 µl of labelled monoclonal antibody combination.
  (Appropriate mouse Ig isotype control samples should always be included in any labelling study).
  3. Vortex the tube to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells.
  4. Incubate the tube for 15 minutes at room temperature in the dark.
  5. Add 100 µl of a lyse reagent and mix immediately.
  6. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark.
  7. Add 2 ml of demineralized water and incubate for 10 minutes in the dark.
  8. Centrifuge the labelled cell suspension for 2 minutes at 1000 x g.
  9. Remove the supernatant and resuspend the cells in 200 µl of PBS.
  10. Analyze by flow cytometry within four hours (alternatively, the cells may be fixed by 0.05% of formaline in buffered saline for analysis the next day. Some antigens are readily destroyed upon fixation and this should be taken into account when using this alternative).
  Application note for anti-kappa and/or anti-lambda Ig combinations
  Add 2 ml of PBS containing 0.001% (v/v) Heparin (prewarmed to 37°C) to the cell suspension
  Vortex, centrifuge (2 min at 300x g) and discard the supernatant.
  Repeat this step twice.
  Resuspend the pelleted blood cells in 100 µl PBS, pH 7.2, containing 0.001% (v/v) Heparin.
