{"product_id":"cst-27977sf","title":"CST,  27977SF, BATF (D7C5) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)","description":"Monoclonal Antibody for studying BATF. Validated for Western Blotting,Flow Cytometry (Fixed\/Permeabilized). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, BATF (D7C5) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #27977) is ready to ship.\n\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Usage Information\u003c\/b\u003e\nThis product is the carrier free version of product #8638. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT\u0026amp;RUN or CUT\u0026amp;Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions\/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.\n\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e\nSupplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 8638\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nStore at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze\/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.\n\u003cb\u003eSpecificity \/ Sensitivity\u003c\/b\u003e\nBATF (D7C5) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) detects endogenous levels of total BATF protein.\nSpecies Reactivity: Human, Mouse\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nMonoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human BATF protein.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nBasic leucine zipper transcriptional factor ATF-like (BATF) is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor and is part of the AP-1\/ATF family that forms inhibitory dimers with members of the Jun family (1-3). Expression of BATF is largely restricted with highest levels found in mature T cells, and it is induced in B cells following immune responses, including viral infection (1,2). BATF expression is also induced by IL-6 via a Stat3-dependent mechanism (4). BATF plays an important role in the differentiation of immune cell lineages (5-7). Studies of BATF-deficient mice have demonstrated a critical role for BATF in the formation of IL-17-expressing Th17 cells, in part, by regulating the expression of IL-17 (5,6). BATF knockouts are resistant to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), consistent with the role of Th17 cells in this model for autoimmunity (5). Additional studies have found that BATF is important in generating antibody class switching. BATF is required for the generation of follicular helper T cells (Tfh) by regulating BCL6 and c-Maf (6,7). In B cells, BATF controls the expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and regulates class-switched antibody responses (7). Taken together, these studies suggest that BATF is a key regulator of distinct populations of immune cells.\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nactivating transcription factor B; B-ATF; B-cell-activating transcription factor; basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor; basic leucine zipper transcription factor, ATF-like; Basic leucine zipper transcriptional factor ATF-like; BATF; BATF1; SF-HT-activated gene 2 protein; SFA-2; SFA2\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 15\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798018478249,"sku":"27977SF","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-27977sf","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
