  Protocol:

  Flow cytometric analysis for floating cells
  
  Protocol 1
  
  1) Wash the cells 3 times with washing buffer [PBS containing 2% fetal calf serum (FCS) and 0.1% NaN3].
  2) Resuspend the cells with washing buffer (5x10e6 cells/mL).
  3) Add 50 µL of the cell suspension into each tube, and centrifuge at 500xg for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25oC). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration.
  4) Add 10 µL of normal goat serum containing 1 mg/mL normal human IgG and 0.1% NaN3 to the cell pellet after tapping. Mix well, and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature (20~25 oC).
  5) Add 30 µL of the anti-CXCR4 monoclonal antibody (10-20 µg/mL) diluted with the washing buffer. Mix well, and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature (20~25 oC).
  6) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500xg for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25oC). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration.
  7) Add 30 µL of secondary antibody (1:40 FITC conjugated anti-Rat IgG) diluted with the washing buffer. Mix well and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature (20~25oC).
  8) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500xg for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25oC). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration.
  9) Resuspend the cells with 500 µL of the washing buffer and analyze by a flow cytometer.
  
  Protocol 2

  1) Wash the cells 3 times with washing buffer [PBS containing 2% fetal calf serum (FCS) and 0.1% NaN3].
  2) Resuspend the cells with PBS containing 25% normal goat serum, 1 mg/mL normal human IgG and 0.1% NaN3 (5x106 cells/mL).
  3) Add 20 µL of the anti-CXCR4 monoclonal antibody (50 µg/mL) diluted with the washing buffer into each tube.
  4) Add 50 µL of the cell suspension into each tube. Mix well, and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature (20~25 oC).
  5) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500xg for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25oC). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration.
  6) Resuspend the cells with 50 µL of the washing buffer.
  7) Add 20 µL of secondary antibody (1:10 FITC conjugated anti-Rat IgG) diluted with the washing buffer into each tube. Mix well and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature (20~25oC).
  8) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500xg for 1 minute at room temperature (20~25oC). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration.
  9) Resuspend the cells with 500 µL of the washing buffer and analyze by a flow cytometer.
