Overview

  • Product name

    PE/Cy5® Conjugation Kit - Lightning-Link®
  • Product overview

    PE/Cy5® Conjugation Kit / PE/Cy5® Labeing Kit ab102871 uses a simple and quick process for PE/Cy5 labeling / conjugation of antibodies. It can also be used to conjugate other proteins or peptides. Learn about our antibody labeling kits and their advantages.


    To conjugate an antibody to PE/Cy5® using this kit:
    - add modifier to antibody and incubate for 3 hrs
    - add quencher and incubate for 30 mins
    The PE/Cy5 conjugated antibody can be used immediately in WB, ELISA, IHC etc. No further purification is required and 100% of the antibody is recovered for use.


    Learn about buffer compatibility below; for incompatible buffers and low antibody concentrations, use our rapid antibody purification and concentration kits. Use the FAQ to learn more about the technology, or about conjugating other proteins and peptides to PE/Cy5®.


    Custom size conjugation kits up to 100 mg are available on demand. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

  • Notes

    This product is manufactured by Expedeon, an Abcam company, and was previously called Lightning-Link® R-PE/Cy5 Labeling Kit. 760-0005 is the same as the 60 µg size. 760-0010 is the same as the 3 x 60 ug size. 760-0030 is the same as the 3 x 10 ug size. 760-0015 is the same as the 600 µg size.

    Amount and volume of antibody for conjugation to PE/Cy5®.

    600 µg 1 x 600 µg 1 x 600 µL

    1Ideal antibody concentration is 1mg/ml. 0.5 - 1 mg/ml can be used if the maximum antibody volume is not exceeded. Antibodies > 1 mg/ml or < 0.5 mg/ml should be diluted /concentrated.

    The selling size of this product has been changed – it is now based on the amount of antibody that can be conjugated with the kit, not the amount of PE mix provided. The amount of antibody advised that can be used with the kit has also been updated to reflect what will give the best conjugation results. The quantity and formulation of reagents provided have not changed, if you have been previously using the kit successfully with a different amount of antibody, there is no need to change the way that you are using the kit.

     

    Buffer Requirements for Conjugation

    Buffer should be pH 6.5-8.5.

    Compatible buffer constituents 
    If a concentration is shown, then the constituent should be no more than the concentration shown. If several constituents are close to the limit of acceptable concentration, then this can inhibit conjugation.

    50mM / 0.6% Tris1 0.1% BSA 50% glycerol
    0.1% sodium azide PBS Potassium phosphate
    Sodium chloride HEPES Sucrose
    Sodium citrate EDTA Trehalose

    1 Tris buffered saline is almost always ≤ 50 mM / 0.6%

    Incompatible buffer constituents

    Thiomerosal Proclin Glycine
    Arginine Glutathione DTT

    If a constituent of the buffer containing your antibody or protein is not listed above, please check the FAQ or contact us.

    Only purified antibodies are suitable for use, ie. where other proteins, peptides, or amino acids are not present: antibodies in ascites fluid, serum or hybridoma culture media are incompatible.

    Storing and handling conjugation kits

    Lyophilized Lightning-Link® components are hygroscopic.

    Kits are intentionally shipped at ambient temperature with silica gel to avoid exposure to moisture. Upon receipt, store the kit frozen and protect from moisture. Before opening the outer container, allow the lyophilized components to reach room temperature to minimize condensation.

    Bardhan, Kankana, et al used PE/Cy5® Conjugation Kit - Lightning-Link® (ab102893) as part of examining PD-1pY248+ (pPD-1) expression in human T cells. They used the kit to conjugate PE/Cy5® to Anti-PD-1pY248 antibody for use in flow cytometry.
    pPD-1 is predominantly expressed in CD8+ TCM cells. CCR7 and CD45RO markers were used to identify central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM) T cells. After gating on CD45RO expression, TCM (CD45RO+CCR7+) and TEM (CD45RO+CCR7) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were identified by assessing expression of CCR7. In TCM and TEM populations, expression of PD-1 was determined and, subsequently, expression of pPD-1 (pPD-1-Y248) was assessed in the PD-1+ population within each subset. Results are representative of six separate experiments.

    Taichman, Russell S., et al used PE/Cy5® Conjugation Kit - Lightning-Link® (ab102893) as part of examining Axl and Tyro3 expression during experimental prostate cancer (PCa) progression. They used the kit to conjugate PE/Cy5® to antibodies for use in flow cytometry.
    Anti-Axl, anti-Tyro3 and anti-Ki67 antibodies were conjugated to the fluorophores APC-Cy7, PE-Cy5, and Atto390 using our Lightning-Link® Conjugation kits. (A) Experimental model. Human PCa cell lines (PC3Luc, DU145Luc) were implanted s.c. into male SCID mice as a model of a primary (1°) tumor development, and removed after 1 month. At monthly intervals thereafter human PCa cells were identified by anti-HLA staining; proliferative status (Ki67 staining) and Axl or Tyro3 levels were evaluated by FACS. (B) Percent expression of Ki67 by lineage depleted (Lin-) marrow cells or by primary tumor cells at 1 month.

    Olling, Alexandra, et al used PE/Cy5® Conjugation Kit - Lightning-Link® (ab102893) as part of examining the role of toxins in the pathogenicity of Clostridium difficile. They used the kit to conjugate PE/Cy5® to for use in flow cytometry.Binding of fluorescent labeled TcdA-PE/Cy5 and TcdA11874-Atto488 to HT29 and CHO-C6 cells was investigated by FACS analysis. Right shift of the black curve illustrates toxin binding which was detected through fluorescence emission at 667 nm for TcdA and at 523 nm for TcdA1-1874, respectively. Due to different ratio of fluorophor and toxin, fluorescence intensity of TcdA-PE/Cy5 cannot directly be compared with TcdA1-1874-Atto488.

Question

Inquiry: I would like to ask you about the sample preparation. I bought ab102893 PE/Cy5 Conjugation kit 100 ug, Lot: GR151075-3. The protocol recommend using 100ul of antibody with 100ug kit formats. And the recommended antibody concentration is 1-4 mg/ml. But the concentration of antibody that I can use is 0.3 mg/ml. Can I process as the conjugation protocol? Or, do you have any suggestion?

Asked on Jan 17 2014

Answer

We wouldn’t recommend using the kits with an antibody at such a low concentration as the conjugation reaction will result in an over labelled antibody. We offer antibody concentration and purification kits: https://www.abcam.com/antibody-purification-kit-protein-a-ab102784.html or

https://www.abcam.com/antibody-purification-kit-protein-g-ab128747.html

Please select the kit based on the species of the secondary antibodies. Please see the table at the bottom of this webpage https://www.abcam.com/index.html?pageconfig=resource&rid=11385

Are any of the reagents in the EasyLink conjugation kit toxic to cells?

Answer

One more thing I learned from the lab, if you are still concerned about the effect of the EasyLink reagents on live cells:

"We commonly perform overnight conjugations here without adding the Quencher in the morning. The reactive chemicals have a short half-life, and should already be inactivated after an overnight conjugation. Unfortunately, we do not have any data on the effect of the kit components on live cells."

As I mentioned in my earlier e-mail, many customers follow the shorter incubation protocol on the datasheet and stain live cells successfully.

Asked on Sep 13 2012

Answer

Following up my previous message, the laboratory does not have toxicity data but the assumption is that the reagents are not harmful to live cells, given that many customers have reported using Easy-Linked antibodies with their live cell samples, primarily in flow cytometry. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
