BD, 558217, BD Phosflow™ Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat anti-Histone H3 (pS28)

Reactivity: Human (QC Testing), Mouse (Tested in Development), Rat, Hamster, Cow, Fly (Reported)
Isotype: Rat IgG2a, κ
Immunogen: Phosphorylated Human Histone H3 Peptide
Application: Intracellular staining (flow cytometry) (Routinely Tested)
Vol. Per Test: 20 µl
RRID: AB_397065
Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing BSA and ≤0.09% sodium azide.
Regulatory Status: RUO
Preparation And Storage: Preparation And Storage Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures 1. Wash cell suspension twice with 1X PBS. 2. Fix the cells by adding ice-cold 70% ethanol drop-wise while vortexing the cell suspension, then storing them for at least 4 hours at -20°C in the 70% ethanol. 3. Aliquot ~1 million fixed cells per tube for staining.  Wash them twice with 1X PBS, then once with stain buffer. 4. Stain the cells with 20 μl Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat anti-Histone H3 (pS28) in 80 μl stain buffer for 20 minutes at room temperature, then wash them with stain buffer. 5. For optimum cell cycle analysis, the cells should be treated with RNAse before staining with propidium iodide: • Treat the stained cells with 50 μg RNAse A (Sigma R5500) in 50 μl 1X PBS for 30 minutes at 37°C.  Without washing, stain DNA by adding 5 μg Propidium Iodide (Sigma P4170) in 450 μl staining buffer for at least 10 minutes at room temperature. Or • Stain the cells with 0.5 ml PI/RNase Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 550825) for 15 minutes at room temperature. 6. The cells are now ready for flow cytometric analysis. BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation).  When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells.   However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls.  It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices: Product Notices This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test). Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC). For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
