If there is only 1×10^5 cells instead of 1×10^6, can the antibody dosage be reduced?

Source: Elabscience®Published: Mar 04,2024

The amount of antibody is related to the incubation system, if the cell suspension volume is still 100 μL, the amount of antibody remains the same. Researchers can reduce the amount to save antibody in low cell number condition by reducing the cell suspension volume. It is recommended to use the recommended number of cells for the experiment, if the number of cells is too large, it will lead to insufficient antibody dosage, resulting in false negative; if the number of cells is too small, especially when detecting intracellular or intranuclear indicators, a large number of centrifugation operations will lose a lot of cells, resulting in insufficient number of cells for final detection.
