- BCMA antibody [Vicky-1] (ab17323)Immunostaining of HEK 293 cells transfected with a human BCMA expression plasmid (left panel), or mock transfected (right panel).
Method: 3 days after transfection of cells with the indicated constructs, cells were fixed with acetone or 4% formaldehyde for 5min at RT. Slides were blocked with normal IgG, and incubated for 1 hour with 5µ g/ml ab17323 in 1%BSA / 1x PBS. After washes in PBS, samples were incubated with the secondary antibody for 1 hour, washed in PBS and revealed with StreptABComplex/HRP (Vector) and AEC. -
Flow Cytometry - BCMA antibody [Vicky-1] (ab17323)
FACS analysis of cells with ab17323 to BCMA.
Method: HEK 293 cells were mock transfected or transfected with an expression plasmid coding for human BCMA. Cells (5x105) were incubated on ice for 30 min in 50
µ l FACS buffer (PBS, 5% fetal calf serum, 0.02% azide) containing 1µ g/ml of ab17323 monoclonal antibody to human BCMA. After washing in FACS buffer, PE-conjugated antibody to rat IgG was added. Cells were incubated on ice for 30 min, washed and analyzed by flow cytometry. -

Flow Cytometry / FACS - BCMA antibody [Vicky-1] (ab17323)Detection of endogenous human BCMA with ab17323 to BCMA (human)(Vicky-1) (second peak, to the right). Method: U266 cells (2x105) were incubated on ice for 30 minutes with 0.2 µg of ab17323 or an isotype control in 25µl FACS buffer (PBS, 5% Fetal calf serum, 0.02% azide). The primary antibody was revealed with anti- Rat IgG (R-PE) and then analyzed by Flow Cytometry.
