The rabbit polyclonal antibody specifically binds to the scFv region of a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) specific mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb, clone C11D5.3). BCMA is a protein that has been reported to be selectively expressed by B-lineage cells including multiple myeloma cells1 and restrictively expressed in both normal and malignant plasma cells at high levels2. The scFv region of C11D5.3 has been used to develop BCMA-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells utilized in clinical trials.

FACS Protocol
BioSwan reagents can be used with or without an isotype control to assess the amount of nonspecific antibody binding.
(Optional) For Whole Blood Sample
- Pipette 1 μL Rabbit Anti-Mouse C11D5.3 scFv Polyclonal Antibody, Alexa Fluor 647 into the bottom of the tube.
- Add dead cell staining solution and additional fluorochrome conjugated antibodies into the bottom of the tube.
- Pipette 100 μL of well-mixed, anticoagulated whole blood into the bottom of the tube. Mix gently and thoroughly. Note Avoid smearing sample down the side of the tube. If the sample remains on the side of the tube, it will not be stained with the reagents.
- Incubate for 25 minutes in the dark at room temperature (18-25°C).
- Pipette Red Blood Cell Lysis Solution to the tube. Mix gently and thoroughly. Incubate for 15 minutes in the dark at room temperature (18-25°C).
- Add 500 μL FACS buffer to the tube. Mix well and centrifuge at 300g for 5 minutes at room temperature (18-25°C). Aspirate supernatant completely.
- Repeat step 6 twice.
- Add a suitable amount of FACS buffer to resuspend cell and analysis by flow cytometry.
(Optional) For Cell Sample
- Harvest the cells and wash the cells twice by FACS buffer.
- Count the cells number and the viability.
- Resuspend the cell suspension to a concentration up to 1×106 nucleated cells per 100 μL of buffer.
- Add 1 μL Rabbit Anti-Mouse C11D5.3 scFv Polyclonal Antibody, Alexa Fluor 647, dead cell staining solution and additional fluorochrome. Mix
- gently and thoroughly.
- Incubate for 25 minutes in the dark at room temperature (18-25°C).
- Add 500 μL FACS buffer to the tube. Mix well and centrifuge at 300 g for 5 minutes at room temperature (18-25°C). Aspirate supernatant completely.
- Repeat step 6 twice.
- Add a suitable amount of FACS buffer to resuspend cell and analysis by flow cytometry.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Caution: Antibody solutions containing ProClin 300 should be handled with care. Do not take internally and avoid all contact with the skin, mucosa and eyes.

This protocol outlines the procedure for staining whole blood or cell samples using Cytoart’s reagents, including a Rabbit Anti-Mouse C11D5.3 scFv Polyclonal Antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor 647. An isotype control can be optionally employed to evaluate non-specific antibody binding.
FACS Analysis Protocol
Required Reagents
- Rabbit Anti-Mouse C11D5.3 scFv Polyclonal Antibody, Alexa Fluor 647
- Dead Cell Staining Solution
- Additional Fluorochrome-Conjugated Antibodies (as required)
- Anticoagulated Whole Blood or Cell Samples
- Red Blood Cell (RBC) Lysis Solution
- FACS Buffer
Protocol for Whole Blood Samples
-
Antibody and Reagent Addition
- Pipette 1 μL of Rabbit Anti-Mouse C11D5.3 scFv Polyclonal Antibody, Alexa Fluor 647 directly into the bottom of a tube.
- Add the dead cell staining solution and any additional fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies to the same tube.
-
Sample Addition and Mixing
- Add 100 μL of well-mixed, anticoagulated whole blood to the tube. Ensure thorough mixing to avoid smearing the sample along the sides of the tube, which can result in uneven staining.
-
Incubation
- Incubate the mixture for 25 minutes in the dark at room temperature (18-25°C).
-
RBC Lysis
- Add an appropriate volume of RBC Lysis Solution to the tube, mix gently but thoroughly, and incubate for 15 minutes in the dark at room temperature.
-
Washing
- Add 500 μL of FACS buffer to the tube, mix well, and centrifuge at 300g for 5 minutes at room temperature. Completely aspirate the supernatant.
- Repeat the wash step twice.
-
Resuspension and Analysis
- Resuspend the cells in an appropriate volume of FACS buffer and proceed to flow cytometry analysis.
Protocol for Cell Samples
-
Cell Preparation
- Harvest and wash the cells twice with FACS buffer. Assess cell count and viability.
-

Notes
- Ensure all steps are performed under conditions that minimize light exposure to protect fluorochromes from photobleaching.
- Adjustments to antibody concentrations, incubation times, or temperatures may be necessary based on specific experimental requirements or antibody performance.
- Employing isotype controls where applicable can provide valuable information on the specificity of staining and help in interpreting flow cytometry data accurately.
