Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Human AID
Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Human AID
Flow cytometric analysis of Human AID expression in human Ramos cells. Cells from the Ramos (Burkitt's lymphoma, ATCC CRL-1596) cell line were preincubated with BD Pharmingen Human BD Fc Block™ (Cat. No. 564219/564220), fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655), and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). Cells were stained with either Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557691; dashed line histogram) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Human AID antibody (Cat. No. 565785; solid line histogram).The fluorescence histogram showing AID expression [or Ig Isotype control staining] was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System.
Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Human AID
Immunofluorescent staining of human AID expressed in cells from human tonsil. Following antigen retrieval with BD Retrievagen A Buffer (Cat. No. 550524), formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tonsil sections were blocked with an Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit (Vector Laboratories; Cat. No. SP-2001) as recommended by the manufacturer. The sections were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Human AID antibody (pseudo-colored green) and counterstained with BD Pharmingen™ DAPI Solution (Cat. No. 564907; pseudo-colored red). The images were captured on a standard epifluorescence microscope. Original magnification, 20×.

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. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. 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.
  4. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).

EK2-5G9

The EK2-5G9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA), also known as AID, or Single-stranded DNA cytosine deaminase. AID is an enzyme that preferentially acts upon certain DNA sequence motifs, such as those located in immunoglobulin variable regions, to induce cytidine-to-uracil mutations. AID-induced mutations initiate both somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) of the immunoglobulin genes in activated B cells during immune responses. While essential for immunoglobulin gene diversification, dysregulated AID activity can result in genomic instability and oncogenic transformation. Originally thought to be B-cell specific, AID now appears to be abnormally expressed in several epithelial cancers. AID may also play roles in DNA demethylation.

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.
