Figure 2From: Identification of myeloid derived suppressor cells in the peripheral blood of tumor bearing dogsOptimization of secondary antibody staining concentration for detection of CADO48A. Cells were stained with the primary antibody CADO48A alone followed by (a) 1:10 (b) 1:50 and (c) 1:100 dilutions of a secondary FITC antibody. Optimal detection was seen between 1:50 and 1:100 dilution with CADO48A alone. Secondary FITC concentrations of 1:50 (d) and 1:100 (e) to detect CADO48A on pre-labeled CD11b cells were then evaluated and demonstrated that a 1:50 concentration of FITC was optimal for optimal detection of distinct CADO48A+ cells. Based on these findings, a 1:50 FITC concentration was used in all clinical samples. All cells in these diagrams were gated on P1.Back to article page
