Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Fibronectin
Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Fibronectin
Flow cytometric analysis of fibronectin in human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC).  MSC (Lonza), passage 6, were dissociated and fixed in BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655), and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were stained with either Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse IgG1, κ isotype control (dashed line, Cat. No. 557782) or Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-Fibronectin monoclonal antibody (solid line) at matched concentrations. Histograms were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics of MSC. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSRFortessa™ II flow cytometry system. BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I (Cat. No. 557885) is also suitable for permeabilization.

No. 554655), permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050), and stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Fibronectin monoclonal antibody (pseudo-colored green) at 1.2 µg/ml. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (pseudo-colored blue). The images were captured on a BD Pathway™ 435 Cell Analyzer and merged using BD Attovision™Software. 0.1% Triton™ X-100 is also suitable for permeabilization.

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. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
  4. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).

  6. 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.

10/Fibronectin

The 240-kDa dimeric fibronectin protein exists in two forms: a soluble protomer in body fluids and an insoluble multimer in the extracellular matrix. The latter is the primary functional form and creates a substrate for cell migration, a role which makes fibronectin vital to embryogenesis and wound response. Fibronectin mediates cytoskeletal organization, cell attachment, and cellular signaling through interactions with cellular receptors. Although various isoforms of fibronectin are derived by alternative splicing, they share a common N-terminus which is a critical region for cell surface binding in an initial step of multimer assembly. Further polymerization steps are regulated by fibronectin/integrin interactions and result in generation of the complex fibrils that constitute the fibronectin matrix.

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.
