Shreffler:CFSE Labeling
From OpenWetWare
Materials
5,6-CFDA/SE Invitrogen C1157 dissolved in DMSO at 5 mM and stored at -20°C.
Procedure
Suspend PBMCs at 10x106 cells/mL in PBS alone.
Cells should be in PBS for CFSE labeling.
If CFSE negative control is needed, remove cells now.
Make '2X' concentration (10 μM) in PBS
- Add 4 mL PBS + 8 μL 5 mM CFSE (for example)
Combine 1:1 PBMC cells + CFSE (e.g. 5 mL PBMCs + 5 mL CFSE) in 15mL tube.
Place in 37°C H2O bath x 10 min.
Wash in 10 mL complete medium.
Resuspend in medium at desired density
