What is non specific binding in flow cytometry?
Non-specific antibody binding occurs when an antibody binds to a cell that does not have an epitope specifically for that antibody.
What is Abseq?
In this paper we present Abseq, a method to profile proteins in single cells that combines the speed of flow and mass cytometry with markedly increased sensitivity, accuracy, and multiplexing potential.
How is antibody stability measured?
The techniques of choice for measuring unfolding temperatures and thermodynamic parameters during protein unfolding is differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The melting temperature (Tm), at which the transition occurs, is used as a surrogate parameter for the thermal stability of the antibody.
How does cite seq work?
CITE-seq uses DNA-barcoded antibodies to convert detection of proteins into a quantitative, sequenceable readout. Antibody-bound oligos act as synthetic transcripts that are captured during most large-scale oligodT-based scRNA-seq library preparation protocols (e.g. 10x Genomics, Drop-seq, ddSeq).
What is non-specific binding?
Non-Specific binding (NSB) refers to an occurrence of an antibody binding to unintended proteins, receptors, or transporters. This binding of assay antibodies is not correlated with the specificity of the antibodies.
Why does non-specific binding happen?
Among the possible causes of non-specific binding of Abs, the attraction of primary and secondary Abs to endogenous Fc receptors (FcRs) is thought to be the main source of unwanted staining. FcRs are structures on the surface of certain cells that bind the Fc region of Abs.
What temperature do antibodies denature?
IgG denaturation becomes significantly irreversible at temperatures higher than 65 °C (Mainer et al. 1999; Indyk et al. 2008). IgG almost completely loses its antigen-binding activity after heat treatment for several minutes at 90 °C (Augener and Grey 1970; van der Linden et al.
What is antibody stability?
An antibody’s stability greatly influences its performance (i.e. its specificity and affinity). Thus, stability is a major issue for researchers and manufacturers, especially with the increasing use of antibodies in therapeutics, diagnostics and rapid analytical platforms.
How many reads for CITE-seq?
Sequencing CITE-seq and Cell Hashing libraries: typically allocate ~50K reads per cell for the cDNA library as recommended by 10x Genomics. We typically sequence the ADT library at ~2-5K reads per cell depending on the size of the antibody panel, and ~2K reads per cell for the HTO library.
How many proteins are in CITE-seq?
To validate CITE-seq, the developers at the New York Genome Center and scientists at NYU Lagone Health used it to simultaneously profile the transcriptome and 13 cell-surface proteins of human and mouse immune cells.
What is non-specific vs specific binding?
In addition to binding to receptors of interest, radioligands also bind to other sites. Binding to the receptor of interest is called specific binding, while binding to the other sites is called nonspecific binding.
How do you find non-specific bindings?
Nonspecific binding is assessed by measuring radioligand binding in the presence of a saturating concentration of an unlabeled drug that binds to the receptor(s) of interest.
What is Sanger DNA sequencing?
Throughout this evolution, and continuing today, Sanger DNA sequencing has served as the gold standard for determination of nucleic acid (NA) sequences, whether occurring naturally or produced synthetically.

What are Sanger analysis modules?
Applied Biosystems Sanger Analysis Modules are FREE innovative cloud-based secondary data analysis tools that bring together multiple data sets in one convenient place. This online solution makes it easier to view, store, and analyze Sanger sequencing data.
What is a cell sorter in flow cytometry?
A specific type of traditional flow cytometer is the cell sorter which can purify and collect samples for further analysis. A cell sorter allows the user to select (gate) on a population of cells or particles which is positive (or negative) for the desired parameters and then direct those cells into a collection vessel.
