| Human perforin (cytolysin) is believed to be one of the major effector molecules used by cytotoxic T cells and NK cells to mediate targeted cell lysis. Perforin expression is constitutive on NK cells, but increases in resting CD8+ cytotoxic cells upon activation. |

| Catalog # | P3340-15B |
| Applications | Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. |
| Recommended Dilution | Flow Cytometry: 2ug/ml. |
| Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. |
| Flow Cytometry Protocol | 1. Ficoll preparediscontinued human peripheral white blood cells were stimulated by incubating 1 day in culture at 5x10e6 cells/ml with 10ng/ml PMA with 2uM Ionomycin. |
| 2. Harvest cell and fix for 30 min. with 2% buffered formaldehyde. Wash cells 2x with buffer. |
| 3. Subsequent incubations and washes are carried out with buffer containing 0.3% Saponin to permeabilize cells. |
| 4. Incubate 5x10e5 cells/tube for 45 min. on ice with 80ul of |
| P3340-15B at 2ug/ml. |
| 5. Wash 2x and incubate with secondary reagent, Streptavidin (PE) (S7973-88P). |
| 6. Wash cells 3x, fix and analyze by FACS. |
| 7. A net 4% sub-population of cells stained positive with a mean shift of 1.1 log10 fluorescent units. Binding was blocked when cells were pre-incubated with 20ul of 0.5mg/ml of P3340-15B. |
| Storage and Stability | May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |
