PMA + ionomycin stimulated (3 hours) human peripheral blood lymphocytes (in the presence of monensin) were fixed and permeabilized with Cyto-Fast™ Fix/Perm Buffer Set. Cells were then stained with CD3 (UCHT1) APC and isotype control PE (left panel), IL-2 (clone MQ1-17H12) PE (middle panel), or IFN-γ (clone 4S.B3) PE (right panel).

Addional Notes
- Cells can be bulk fixed. To bulk fix the cells, add 1.5 mL of Cyto-Fast™ Fix/Perm Solution for each 1 x 107 cells and incubate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Staining for surface markers can be performed prior to fix/perm. Follow the Cell Surface Flow Cytometry Staining Protocol. Proceed to follow the Cyto-Fast™ Fix/Perm Buffer Set protocol outlined above after primary (and/or secondary) surface antibody staining steps.
- If cells are to be immediately stained post-fix/perm, wash cells 2 x with 10 mL of 1X Cyto-Fast™ Perm Wash Solution. Aliquot 100µL of cells (2 x 105-1 x 106) of interest into a 12 x 75 mm tube and stain cells with optimal concentration of antibodies (continue with procedure listed above at step 9).
- If cells are to be stained at a later time post-fix/perm, wash cells with 10 mL of Cell Staining Buffer. Cells can be stored for up to one week in Cyto-Last™ Buffer (Cat. No. 422501).
- To stain cryopreserved cells, quickly thaw the cells by placing them in a 37°C water bath, wash with 10 mL of 1X Cyto-Fast™ Perm Wash Solution and centrifuge for 5 minutes at 200-300xg, discard supernatant. Re-suspend cells in 1X Cyto-Fast™ Perm Wash Solution for 15-20 minutes prior to staining.
- The Cyto-Fast™ Fix/Perm Buffer set (10x) may have crystallization or precipitation when it is stored at 2-8°C this is normal and does not affect the buffer performance. If heavy precipitation is observed after diluting to a 1X working solution, it can be filtered to clarify the solution.
