15. 3, 0.1% NCS in PBS, pH 7.4). The cells were then suspended in 100 μl of FITC-avidin-staining solution (of FITC-avidin at 5.6 μg/ml in avidin-staining buffer). After a 10-min incubation in the dark at 0°C, the cells were diluted with 2 ml of cold avidin staining buffer and washed twice. The cells were resuspended in 400 μl of avidin staining buffer and subjected to flow cytometry analysis.

The relation between fluorescence intensity observed by flow cytometry analysis and the number of fluorescent molecules per cell were determined with biotinylated polystyrene beads (Spherotech) with a predetermined number of biotin molecules per bead and with a similar diameter to that of Jurkat cells.

28. 2 groups of lysine residues on avidin were modified to present pyridyldithio groups by reaction with N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP) (Pierce) as follows. A solution of egg-white avidin (2 mg, Sigma) and SPDP (4 μl of a 250-mM solution in dimethyl sulfoxide) was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Excess SPDP was removed by Sephadex G-25 gel filtration and the modified avidin was collected into PBS buffer (pH 7.4). RTA-2-IT was added to this solution in a 1:1 molar ratio and incubated at room temperature for 18 hours. The 1:1 RTA-avidin conjugate was purified from the reaction by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration and characterized by non-reducing and reducing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
