Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Ki-67
Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Ki-67
Flow cytometric analysis of Ki-67 expression by proliferating Jurkat and noncycling human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Jurkat and PBMC were fixed and permeabilized with 70% ice cold ethanol, washed, and stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Ki-67 antibody (Cat. No. 561165) according to the BD Biosciences support protocol, Flow Cytometry Staining Protocol for Detection of Ki-67. The cells were then RNase A (Sigma Cat. No. R-5500) treated and counterstained with Propidium Iodide Staining Solution (Cat. No. 556463) to stain DNA . Two-color flow cytometric dot plots showing the correlated expression patterns of Propidium Iodide (DNA) staining versus Ki-67 were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact Jurkat cells (Left Panel) or PBMC (Right Panel). Flow cytometry was performed using a BD LSR™ II flow cytometry system.

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® 488 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 488 was removed.

Product Notices

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  4. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
  5. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
  6. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).

B56

The B56 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the Ki-67 antigen that is expressed in the nucleus of cycling cells (G1, S, G2, M cell cycle phases). During the G0 phase, the antigen cannot be detected. During interphase of the cell cycle, it is associated with nucleolar components, and it is on the surface of the chromosomes during M phase. Ki-67 is a large protein having 2 alternatively spliced isoforms, an N-terminal forkhead-associated domain, a C-terminal domain that binds to heterochromatin proteins, and multiple phosphorylation sites, the functions of which are still unclear. Because of the strict association of Ki-67 expression with cell proliferation, anti-Ki-67 antibodies are useful for the identification, quantification, and monitoring of growing cell populations.

Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
