{"product_id":"biolegend-676752","title":"Biolegend, 676752, Purified anti-FOXP3 Antibody, 100μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eForkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3) is a transcription factor that plays a role in the development and function of regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are essential for maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmune diseases. FOXP3 is responsible for the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in Treg differentiation and function, ensuring the immune system does not attack the body's own tissues. Mutations or deficiencies in the FOXP3 gene can lead to severe autoimmune disorders, such as immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX), characterized by widespread inflammation and multi-organ damage. Additionally, FOXP3 has been implicated in cancer biology, where it can act as a tumor suppressor in certain contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\n100μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Recombinant Fragment of Human FOXP3\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/mL\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: IHC-P - Quality tested WB, ICFC - Verified\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10.0 µg\/mL is suggested. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.25 - 1.0 µg\/mL. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.125 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication Notes: For use of this antibody in immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (IHC-P), we recommend antigen retrieval using either Citrate Buffer, 10X (Cat.
