Hello all,
I want to appreciate everyone who responded to my quire about basophills!
Here the summary from all your replays.
Thanks a lot, Cytometry Mailing List is definitely a great source

BeckmanCoulter now has available an antibody for basophils. It is CD203c
and it comes available in PE. It is specific for basophils, and is also
fantastic for basophil
activation studies.
Fields of application may include:
* Identification and differentiation of basophils and mast cells
* Basophil activation in allergic and inflammatory responses
* Studies of stem cell differentiation and maturation
* Lineage assessment in hematopoietic disease
Main Features include:
* It is a specific marker for the mast cell/basophil lineage
* Sufficient resolving power to distinguish resting basophils in whole
blood
* Three to ten fold upregulation after activation of basophils
* Marks basophil activation as a marker for IgE mediated allergy
* Sufficient as a stand-alone marker for basophils, there is no need to
combine it with any other marker to identify basophils

I am working on basophils from peripheral blood. This reference might be of
interest for you

We identify basophils from their 45/ssc properties (in the lymphoid
population) and immunophenotyping - CD9+33+13+22+19-.
Not too sure how you might go about enriching them

s what you want to do. If you want to look at their function I would use the
BASO-test from www.orpegen.de. The kit saves you a lot of hassle with
regards to titration and preparation of standards.

----------------------------------------------------------------------There
are no basophil specific surface markers. There are 2 basophil granule
specific markers, BB1 and 2D7, which can be used with I/C staining. .
Because of the small numbers of basophils (about 1%) we have generally use 2
markers to identify them. We stain with anti-IgE and a panel of lineage
markers (CD2, 14, 16, 19). IgE+, lin- cells are >99% basophils. MHC II
positive dendritic cell precursors make up the balance.

----------------------------------------------------------------------You
may find a protocol for staining dendritic cells from human PBMC and whole
blood on Pharmingen's web site at
http://www.bdbiosciences.com/immunocytometry_systems/application_notes/pdf/r
eagapp3.pdf. The protocol shows staining of basophils vs. CD11c vs.
CD123dendritic cells.
Good luck,

depends what you want to do with the basophils. We used FITC labeled IgE and
sorted the basophils on a high speed sorter with good success. FITC-IgE
labeled cells can also be purified using anti-FITC-magnetic beads from
Miltnyi biotech(Auburn, CA).
I hope this helps.

Attached pls find our basophil combination(pdf file), which works really
well in degranulation assays.

I understand that blood basophils express CD123 (IL-3-R). I use the BDIC kit
to label dendritic cell precursors and clearly see this population.

CD203c is a good anti-basophil surface marker in whole blood.

you can use a fycoll hypaque prep called Mono-poly from ICN which separates
pbmcs, granulocytes and rbcs in one tube

It is tricky, but they can be detected. Basophils are CD123+, HLADR-.
You will need to eliminate the CD19+, CD3+, CD14+, CD16+ cells out of the
picture and work with the Lin negative or weak positive cell population.
Look in the BD Biosciences web site...www.bdbiosciences.com. Look for a
technical note for peripheral blood dendritic cells. In that process, in
their gating strategy, you can look at basophils too.
I hope this helps

Dear Flow-ers,
I am looking if someone have experience using different cell
surface markers for basophils from Human peripheral whole blood (without
preparing PBMC). Also,if it possible to do enrichment of basophils,without
separating mononuclear cells first.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
