Protocol
Flow cytometric analysis for floating cells Protocol 1 We usually use Fisher tubes or equivalents as reaction tubes for all step described below. 1) Wash the cells 3 times with washing buffer [PBS containing 2 % fetal calf serum (FCS) and 0.1 % NaN 3]. 2) Resuspend the cells with washing buffer (5x10 6 cells/mL). 3) Add 50 μ L of the cell suspension into each tube, and centrifuge at 500 x g for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25 o C). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration. 4) Add 10 μ L of normal goat serum containing 1 mg/mL normal human IgG and 0.1 % NaN 3 to the cell pellet after tapping. Mix well and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature (20~25 o C). 5) Add 20 μL of the FITC labeled anti-mouse SiglecE monoclonal antibody (8D2) (50 μ g/mL) diluted with the washing buffer. Mix well and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature (20~25 o C). 6) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500 x g for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25 o C). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration. 7) Add 20 μL of 1:50 PE conjugated anti-mouse CD11c (Pharmingen: code no.557401) diluted with the washing buffer. Mix well and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature (20~25 o C). 8) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500 x g for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25 o C). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration. 9) Resuspend the cells with 500 μ L of the washing buffer and analyze by a flow cytometer.

SilecE (sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin E/SigLec5/CD170) is a putative adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells. SiglecE is expressed on neutrophil and monocyte popul ations, both in the blood and bone marrow, as a dimeric, disulfide linked, 140 kDa type I membrane protein containing cytoplasmic immune receptor-based tyrosi ne signaling motifs. SiglecE recruits the SH2-domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2, which block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. Thus SiglecE acts as an inhibitory receptor for ligand induced tyrosine phosphorylation.
