Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of Pax-5 expression in human and mouse leucocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and BALB/c mouse splenic leucocytes were fixed and permeabilized using the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725). The cells were then stained with either Alexa Fluor® 488 Rat Anti-Mouse Pax-5 antibody (Cat. No. 562816) or Alexa Fluor® 488 Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557676). The PBMC were counterstained with APC Mouse Anti-Human CD21 antibody (Cat. No. 561767/561357/559867). The mouse splenic leucocytes were counterstained with APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 antibody (Cat. No. 553092/561880). Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSR™ II Flow Cytometer System. Panel A. Human Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes: The two-color flow cytometric dot plots show the correlated expression patterns of Ig Isotype control staining (Left Plot) and Pax-5 (Right Plot) versus CD21 for events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Panel B. Mouse Splenocytes: The dot plots show the coexpression patterns of Ig Isotype control staining (Left Plot) or Pax-5 (Right Plot) versus CD45R/B220 for events with the light-scatter characteristics of intact mouse splenocytes.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
- 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.

The 1H9 monoclonal antibody clone specifically binds to human and mouse Paired box protein Pax-5. Pax-5 is a ~50 kDa protein that is also known as B-cell-specific transcription factor and B cell specific activator protein (BSAP). Pax-5 is a member of the paired box (Pax) family of transcription factors. It is expressed in pro-B, pre-B and mature B cells. Through the Groucho family of co-repressors, Pax-5 likely functions as a transcriptional repressor of non-B-lymphoid genes during the B cell commitment process. In the early stages of B cell development, Pax-5 influences the expression of several B-cell-specific genes, such as CD19 and CD20 and maintains B cell identity. Pax-5 suppression is involved in the upregulation of Blimp-1 leading to the development of Pax-5-negative plasma cells. Pax-5 mRNA is transiently detected in the mesencephalon and spinal cord during embryogenesis. Expression then shifts to the fetal liver and correlates with the onset of B lymphopoiesis. Altered forms and expression patterns of Pax-5 have been associated with some lymphoid and nonlymphoid cancers.
