Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human IRF-3
Flow cytometric analysis of IRF-3 expression by human peripheral blood leucocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were fixed and permeabilized using the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit (Cat. No. 554714) and then stained with either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557732; dashed line histograms) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human IRF-3 antibody (Cat. No. 566347; solid line histograms) at 0.25 µg/test. The fluorescence histograms showing IRF-3 expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes (Left Panel) or monocytes (Right Panel). Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Flow Cytometer System. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

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.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

SL-12.1

The SL-12.1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3). Viral infection in mammals can lead to the induction of multiple pathways as part of the host defense mechanism. One of the major pathways activated is the JAK-STAT pathway by various interferons (IFNα and IFNβ). These IFNs exert their influence via transcriptional activation of specific target genes involved in antiviral defense, for example the chemokine ISG15 gene or the major histocompatibility complex class I and II molecules. These genes in turn are regulated by the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and through interferon regulatory factors (IRFs). IRFs are a family of transcription factors that possess a broad range of activities. IRF-3 is one of nine members which all share a common DNA binding domain which binds to an IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) found in the majority of IFN-inducible promoters. The IRF3 gene expresses a 50 kDa protein which is constitutively expressed in all tissues. The protein undergoes post-translational modification as well as dimerization and is translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus upon viral infection or exposure to dsRNA.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
