You are planning to perform an assay for detection of FOXP3 and to follow the protocol below. Please write down
the protocol you will follow (step by step) to stain beads to be used as controls for surface antigens AND for
intracellular antigens
Reference Control QC
Super Bright 780 Control: not highest peak gated, highest peak has incorrect signature (has SB436 sig) tandem degradation, pos peak in bottom plot is the donor, the acceptor is no longer fluorescing
Reference Control QC
BB700 Control: Pos gate too wide, too heterogeneous, plot 2 and 3 show different spectra, lower peak looks like carry over
Reference Control QC
PE-Cy5 Control: a lot of tailing on pos peak – usually when beads get stuck on the side of the tube and encounter variable amounts of Ab, this is also a problem with old beads that don’t bind uniformly

By unmixing CD4 stained cells
with multiple fluors we can
assess how much the positive
population spread into other
dyes (rSD) .

Exercise 3
Aims:• Demonstrate your panel design Kung Fu!
• You don’t need to know NK cell biology
• As a general guide anything with a CD# higher than 200 is a tertiary marker, the rest of the Agsare fairly explanatory
Exercise 3 – Panel Design Steps
1. Classify the antigens• Go to vendor websites, check staining examples• Gating strategy
2. Consider co-expression• Gating strategy – know your biology
3. Characterize spread of available fluors – use stain index and spread matrix• Bright fluors that receive low spread• Dim fluors that contribute low spread
4. Assign Fluors• Tertiary – very bright/bright fluors that receive low spread• Secondary
a) bright/mid fluors that receive low spreadb) mid fluors that contribute low spread
• Primary – dim fluors that contribute low spread
