Description
Heat shock proteins (Hsp) are a set of highly conserved proteins that include constitutively expressed (Hsp60, Hsp70, and Hsp90) and stress-induced (Hsp27 and Hsp72) proteins. Hsp60 is localized to the mitochondria, where it promotes mitochondrial protein folding and facilitates proteolytic degradation of misfolded or denatured proteins. It binds Hsp10, which regulates the substrate binding and ATPase activity of Hsp60. In HeLa and Jurkat mitochondria, Hsp60 associates with caspase-3 to form a complex that dissociates and releases from the mitochondria during apoptosis. In addition, Hsp60 accelerates the maturation of procaspase-3 through its ATP-dependent "foldase" activity. In addition to its role in protein folding, Hsp60 has also been implicated in immune function. In macrophages, its binding to the toll-like receptor-4 complex induces production of TNFα and nitric oxide and stimulation of a proinflammatory response. Thus, the protein folding function of Hsp60 is involved in mitochondrial protein folding in both normal and apoptotic cells, while release of Hsp60 during necrosis is thought to stimulate a proinflammatory response.

Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugates are highly photostable and remain fluorescent over a broad pH range. The excitation and emission maxima are nearly identical to those of APC. However, APC tends to be brighter while Alexa Fluor® 647 is more optimal for intracellular applications. This fluorochrome exhibits uncommon photostability, making it an ideal choice for use in fluorescence microscopy. Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, APC and Alexa Fluor® 647 cannot be used simultaneously.

1.Seed the cells in appropriate culture medium at ~10,000 cells per well in a BD Falcon™ 96-well Imaging Plate (Cat. No. 353219), and
culture overnight.
2.Remove the culture medium from the wells, and fix the cells by adding 100 µl of fresh 3.7% Formaldehyde in PBS or BD Cytofix™ fixation buffer (Cat. No. 554655) to each well and incubating for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT).
3.Remove the fixative from the wells, and permeabilize the cells by adding 100 µl of -20°C 90% methanol or -20°C BD™ Phosflow Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) to each well and incubating for 5 minutes at RT.
4.Remove the permeabilizer, and wash the wells twice with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
5.Remove the PBS, and block the cells by adding 100 µl of blocking buffer (3% FBS in 1× PBS) or BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) (Cat. No. 554656) to each well and incubating for 30 minutes at RT.
6.Remove the blocking buffer, dilute the antibody conjugate 1:10 in blocking buffer or Stain Buffer (FBS), and stain the cells by adding 50 µl of the diluted antibody conjugate to each well and incubating for 1 hour at RT.
7.Remove the diluted antibody conjugate, and wash the wells three times with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
8.Remove the PBS, and counter-stain the nuclei by adding 100 μl of a 2 μg/ml solution of Hoechst 33342 (eg, Sigma-Aldrich Cat. No. B2261) in 1× PBS to each well at least 15 minutes before imaging.
9.View and analyze the cells on an appropriate imaging instrument.Recommended filters for the BD Pathway™ instruments are:
