For anyone doing #flowcytometry, would you like to have a new protocol that reduces your #antibody costs by ~10-fold and also gives you higher quality data, with better signal-to-noise ratio?

Yes? Then read work by @olivertburton and @CarlyEWhyte. 1/6

Bottom-line-up-front: stain overnight. Antibody staining is sensitive to both dilution and time, so a titration that gives crummy staining in 30' can actually give beautiful staining overnight. The best part is, that lower dilution gives less background, for better separation 2/6 Image
You can see this quite clearly with even tricky staining, like #Foxp3 and #cytokines. The overnight stain gives a stronger positive signal without increasing the background at all. Plus your cells are ready in the morning, when the cytometer is free, rather than 8pm at night! 3/6 Image
