Product description
The Invitrogen
™
Zenon
™
pHrodo
™
iFL IgG Labeling Reagents provide a fast, versatile, and reliable method to evaluate
antibody internalization. Zenon
™
labeling technology utilizes a pHrodo
™
iFL Red- or pHrodo
™
iFL Green-labeled Fab
fragment (i.e., labeling reagent) directed against the Fc portion of an intact IgG primary antibody to form a labeling
complex. Formation of the Fab–antibody complex occurs in less than 5 minutes (Figure 1). Because the pHrodo
™
iFL
dyes dramatically increase in fluorescence as the pH of their surroundings becomes more acidic, the antibodies coupled
with the Zenon
™
pHrodo
™
iFL IgG Labeling Reagents provide an excellent measure of endocytic activity based on the
acidification of the labeled antibodies as they are ingested by the cell (Figure 2).
The Zenon
™
pHrodo
™
iFL IgG Labeling Reagents contain sufficient material to label one to four 96-well plates, depending
on the Zenon
™
labeling reagent concentration used.
Note: pHrodo
™
iFL dyes are extremely sensitive to their local environment; therefore, the pH response in your system
needs to be determined empirically.

Procedural guidelines
• Zenon
™
pHrodo
™
iFL IgG Labeling Reagents are goat Fab fragments selective for
the Fc portion of human or mouse IgG antibodies. They are used to non-covalently
couple the pHrodo
™
iFL Red- or pHrodo
™
iFL Green-labeled Fab fragments to the
unconjugated human or mouse IgG antibodies in 5 minutes, leaving the antigen
binding site of the antibody unmodified, while providing a consistent degree of
labeling (DOL) of 3 to 5 Fab molecules per IgG (Figure 1).
• The labeled Fab fragments (i.e., labeling reagents) have been affinity purified during
their preparation to ensure their high affinity and selectivity for the Fc portion of
the primary antibody. Because this labeling is based on immunoselectivity, the
Zenon
™
labeling method does not require the removal of exogenous proteins such as
serum albumin or amine-containing buffers from the antibody prior to forming the
complex. Cross-reactivity is low with antibodies from other species.
• Formation of the Fab–antibody complex (i.e., labeling complex) occurs in less than
5 minutes, and nearly all of the primary antibodies in the mixture are labeled.
Complexes formed using this technology display fluorescence intensity similar to
that of directly labeled primary antibodies.
• The extent of antibody labeling (and thus the fluorescence intensity of the probe) can
be adjusted by varying the amount of Zenon
™
labeling reagent that is added, i.e. by
varying the molar ratio of labeled Fab fragment to primary antibody.
• The protocol described here is for performing internalization assays with one 96-well
plate of antibodies, each at 40 nM (6 µg/mL) with Zenon
™
pHrodo
™
iFL IgG labeling
reagent at 120 nM (6 µg/mL). This molar ratio is a suggested starting point and
represents the minimum ratio for adequate signal in most applications. Experiments
with antibodies against highly-expressed or rapidly internalizing antigens may
obtain satisfactory signal with lower antibody concentrations.
- One 96-well plates at 40 nM antibody/120 nM Zenon
™
labeling reagent
- Two 96-well plates at 20 nM antibody/60 nM Zenon
™
labeling reagent
- Four 96-well plates at 10 nM antibody/30 nM Zenon
™
labeling reagent
• For larger or smaller quantities of antibody, the amounts of the reagents specified in
the protocol can be scaled accordingly. The Zenon
™
IgG labeling reaction does not
require the removal of bovine serum albumin (BSA) or other stabilizing proteins that
may be present in antibody preparations. Antibodies contained within serum may
also be directly labeled and do not require purification of the antibody either prior to
or after labeling.
• The pHrodo
™
iFL Green dye has excitation and emission maxima of approximately
505 nm and 530 nm, respectively, and can be detected with standard FITC
(fluorescein) or Alexa Fluor
™
488 filters. The pHrodo
™
iFL Red dye has excitation and
emission maxima of approximately 560 nm and 585 nm, and can be detected with
standard TRITC (tetramethylrhodamine) or Alexa Fluor
™
555 filters.

Methods
Prepare 4X antibody working
solution
1.1
Prepare sufficient volume of 4X working solution of antibody in cell culture medium so
that you can use 25 µL for each sample. For example, to fill one 96-well plate, prepare
2.5 mL of working antibody solution.
Note: 40 nM is a good starting concentration for many antibodies, so a 4X stock will be
160 nM.
1.2
Aliquot 25 µL of 4X antibody working solution to each well of a 96-well plate.
Prepare 4X Zenon
™
working
solution
2.1
Prepare 4X working solution of Zenon
™
pHrodo
™
iFL IgG Labeling Reagent. For
example, for one 96-well plate, add 200 µL of Zenon
™
pHrodo
™
iFL IgG labeling reagent
to 2.3 mL of cell culture medium to prepare 2.5 mL of Zenon
™
working solution.
2.2
Aliquot 25 µL of 4X Zenon
™
working solution to each well of the 96-well plate from
Step 1.2. Incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the labeling complexes to
form.
Label suspension cells
3.1
Prepare at least 5 mL of suspension cells at 2 × 10
6
cells/mL in cell culture medium.
3.2
Add 50 µL of cells to each well of the 96-well plate containing the antibody and the
Zenon
™
labeling reagent (from Step 2.2).
3.3
Incubate the cells with the labeling complex for 1–24 hours under standard cell culture
conditions. Add other antibodies or cell labels as desired.
3.4
Analyze cells using flow cytometry.
Label adherent cells
4.1
Prepare a 96-well plate containing 5,000–10,000 cells/well. After the cells adhere, adjust
volume so that each well contains 50 µL of culture medium.
4.2
Add 50 µL of the labeling complex (from Step 2.2) to each well of the 96-well plate.
4.3
Incubate the cells with the labeling complex for 1–24 hours under standard cell culture
conditions. Add other antibodies or cell labels as desired.
4.4
Analyze cells using fluorescence microscopy or high content analysis.
