Biolegend, 137241, Alexa Fluor® 700 anti-mouse/human Helios Antibody, 25tests

Helios is a member of the Ikaros family of zinc finger transcription factors.  It contains a C-terminal region composed of 2 zinc-finger domains that mediate dimerization between the family members.  Helios was originally cloned from a mouse thymoma line. It is mainly expressed in peripheral T cells and thymocytes.  It is found at high levels in a subpopulation of regulatory T cells.  Helios plays an important role in T cell development and homeostasis.  Overexpression of Helios profoundly alters αβ T cell differentiation and activation.  It has been determined that silencing of Helios in B cells is critical for maintaining normal B cell function.  Helios is also involved in tumor immunity.

Storage & Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Application: ICFC - Quality tested
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by intracellular immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µL per million cells in 100 µL staining volume or 5 µL per 100 µL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application. * Alexa Fluor® 700 has a maximum emission of 719 nm when it is excited at 633 nm / 635 nm. Prior to using Alexa Fluor® 700 conjugate for flow cytometric analysis, please verify your flow cytometer's capability of exciting and detecting the fluorochrome.
