Description
FLAG Tag Immunostaining in vFC™?
This protocol provides a standardized means of analyzing size, concentration, and FLAG expression in EVs engineered to express FLAG. This protocol is built on vFC™ (#CBS4), an assay that enables specific detection and characterization of individual extracellular vesicles such as exosomes and microvesicles on commercially available flow cytometers. Because vFC™ is vesicle specific, we can characterize vesicles and cargo in a highly-reproducible, no-wash assay without artifacts from debris or reagent aggregates. In this protocol, vesicles will be stained using our vTag™ Anti-FLAG tag Antibody. See protocol 2 in the vFC™ kit handbook for additional considerations and full protocol details.
Procedure
- Dilute sample containing EVs to approximately 5×106 extracellular vesicles per µl. To determine vesicle concentration for an unknown sample, see supporting protocols included in the vFC™ kit.
- Prepare a sufficient amount of vFluor™ Red for all samples and controls (5 µl per well) according to kit instructions
- In duplicate, in the included 96 well plate, add 35 µl of dilution buffer, 5µl of prepared vFluor™ Red, 5 µl of vTag™ anti-FLAG tag antibody, and 5 µl of EV samples.
- Incubate in the dark at room temperature for 1 hr.
- Perform serial dilution of the samples as described in the assay handbook. Briefly, samples are to be diluted from between 1:100 to 1:1000 from staining concentration depending upon the flow cytometer being used.
- Run the diluted sample of labeled EVs on a qualified flow cytometer.
FLAG Tag is a peptide sequence that is used to tag recombinant proteins. The tag (sequence DYKDDDDK), is a non-natural antigen that is incorporated into proteins to simplify the labeling, detection, a protein purification via high affinity antibodies that have been developed against this sequence. It is preferable to other tags because the short sequence is not likely to affect the structure or function of the modified proteins.
In the context of engineered extracellular vesicles, incorporation of FLAG tags may be a viable option for quantitation of proteins of interest where there is no suitable antibody available.
