{"product_id":"biolegend-320403","title":"Biolegend, 320403, True-Nuclear™ Human Treg Flow Kit, 25tests","description":"\u003cp\u003eFOXP3 is a 50-55 kD transcription factor, also known as Forkhead box protein P3, Scurfin, JM2, or IPEX. It is proposed to be a master regulatory gene and more specific marker of T regulatory cells than most cell surface markers (such as CD4 and CD25). Transduced expression of FOXP3 in CD4 + \/CD25 - cells has been shown to induce GITR, CD103, and CTLA4 and impart a T regulatory cell phenotype. FOXP3 is mutated in X-linked autoimmunity-allergic dysregulation syndrome (XLAAD or IPEX) in humans and in \"scurfy\" mice. Overexpression of FOXP3 has been shown to lead to a hypoactive immune state suggesting that this transcriptional factor is a central regulator of T cell activity. In human, unlike in mouse, two isoforms of FOXP3 have been reported: one (FOXP3) corresponding to the canonical full-length sequence; the other (FOXP3 δ2) lacking exon 2. The 259D antibody recognizes human FOXP3 epitope in the region of amino acids 105-235.\u003cbr\u003e\n25tests\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human\u003cbr\u003e\nReported Reactivity: Cynomolgus, Rhesus, Baboon, Chimpanzee\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Full-length FOXP3 protein\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: Lot-specific (to obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.)\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: This kit is guaranteed for six months.

Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse IgG1, κ isotype control - 25 tests 3. True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set - 120 tests (Cat. No. 424401) 4. anti-human CD4 PE-Cyn5\/CD25 PE Cocktail - 50 tests Materials Not Included: 1. Cell Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 420201) 2. Single color compensation controls Immunofluorescence Staining Procedures: 1. Perform cell surface staining as described in BioLegend's Cell Surface Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol. Add 20 µL of the anti-human CD4 PE-Cyn5\/CD25 PE cocktail to each tube and incubate in the dark for 20 minutes. 2. Add 2 mL of the cell staining buffer, centrifuge tubes at 400 x g at room temperature for five minutes, and discard the supernatant. 3. Repeat Step 2, for a total of two washes. 4. Add 1 mL of the Transcription Factor 1X Fix solution to each tube, vortex, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 45-60 minutes. 5. Without washing, add 2 mL of the Transcription Factor 1X Perm Buffer to each tube. 6. Centrifuge tubes at 400 x g at room temperature for five minutes, and discard the supernatant. 7. Add 2 mL of the Transcription Factor 1X Perm Buffer to each tube. 8. Centrifuge tubes at 400 x g at room temperature for five minutes, and discard the supernatant. 9. Resuspend the cell pellet in 100 µL of the Transcription Factor 1XPerm Buffer. 10. Add 5 µL of Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-human FOXP3 antibody or 5 µL of Alexa Fluor® 488 mouse IgG1, κ isotype control into the appropriate tubes. Incubate in the dark at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. 11. Add 2 mL of the Transcription Factor 1X Perm Buffer to each tube. 12. Centrifuge tubes at 400 x g at room temperature for five minutes, and discard the supernatant. 13. Add 2 mL of the cell staining buffer. 14. Centrifuge tubes at 400 x g at room temperature for five minutes, and discard the supernatant. 15. Resuspend in 0.5 mL cell staining buffer and then acquire tubes on a flow cytometer. Caution: The True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set contains paraformaldehyde, which is toxic and mutagenic. Please handle with caution. Wear gloves, lab coats, and necessary protection to avoid direct contact. NOTE: For flow cytometric staining with this clone, True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 424401) offers improved staining and is highly recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication References(PubMed link indicates BioLegend citation): Roncador G, et al. 2005 Eur. J. Immunol. 35:1681.
