Human Seroblock
Human Seroblock (BUF070) used to reduce background staining on human cancer cell lines during TAAR1 analysis by flow cytometry.
Image caption:
TAAR1 expression determined by flow cytometry correlates with intensity of IF staining in a subset of cell lines. a Cells were stained for intracellular TAAR1. The isotype control contained mouse IgG in place of primary antibody to correct for non-specific staining, and was performed on paired samples to those treated with the anti-TAAR1 primary antibody. A mastermix of antibody solutions was prepared for each independent experiment, with each cell line treated simultaneously using the same mastermix. Images are representative samples of 3 independent experiments conducted at different cell passage numbers. b Mean fluorescence intensity for the isotype control and TAAR1 stained cells was determined. Data represent mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments conducted with different passage numbers of each cell line. Data were compared by two-way ANOVA with Holm–Sidak’s multiple comparison test for individual comparisons where significant main effects were observed. *P <0.05, **P <0.01, ***P <0.001

Antibody Quality and Performance Guarantee
| Human Fc receptors are expressed on a variety of immune cell types including monocytes, macrophages, B cells, granulocytes and dendritic cells. Cells that express Fc receptors can give false positive immunofluorescent staining due to the Fc receptors binding of Ig. Human SeroBlock is designed to prevent such non-specific staining without interfering with appropriate target staining. Human SeroBlock is compatible with use of anti-human antibodies targeting Fc receptors in flow cytometry. |

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
- Instructions For Use
- In order to reduce Fc-receptor mediated binding of test antibodies the following procedure is recommended:-
1) Add 5 ul of Human SeroBlock per 100ul cell suspension for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
2) Add test antibody according to manufacturers instructions – Do not wash Human SeroBlock off the cells. Human SeroBlock is suitable for use in conjunction with test antibodies from any manufacturer or with in-house antibodies.*Human SeroBlock is also compatible with flow cytometric analysis of human Fc receptors.
3) Proceed with staining as usual. - In order to reduce Fc-receptor mediated binding of test antibodies the following procedure is recommended:-
