PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-Human TGF-β1
PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-Human TGF-β1
Flow cytometric analysis of human TGF-β1 expressed by TGF-β1-transfected P3UI cells. Untransfected mouse P3UI myeloma cells (dashed line histogram) and human TGF-β1-transfected P3UI cells (solid line histogram) were fixed and permeabilized for 30 minutes with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Fixation and Permeabilization Solution (Cat. No. 554722) and washed with BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were then stained with PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-Human TGF-β1 antibody (Cat. No. 562423). The flow cytometric fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward- and side light-scattering characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer 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 with PerCP-Cy5.5 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PerCP-Cy5.5 were removed. Storage of PerCP-Cy5.5 conjugates in unoptimized diluent is not recommended and may result in loss of signal intensity.

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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  4. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  5. Cy is a trademark of Amersham Biosciences Limited. This conjugated product is sold under license to the following patents: US Patent Nos. 5,486,616; 5,569,587; 5,569,766; 5,627,027.
  6. Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
  7. 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.
  8. PerCP-Cy5.5–labelled antibodies can be used with FITC- and R-PE–labelled reagents in single-laser flow cytometers with no significant spectral overlap of PerCP-Cy5.5, FITC, and R-PE fluorescence.
  9. PerCP-Cy5.5 is optimized for use with a single argon ion laser emitting 488-nm light. Because of the broad absorption spectrum of the tandem fluorochrome, extra care must be taken when using dual-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PerCP and Cy5.5™. We recommend the use of cross-beam compensation during data acquisition or software compensation during data analysis.
  10. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

TW4-9E7

The TW4-9E7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Human Transforming Growth Factor beta-1 (TGF-β1). TGF-β1 is a potent multifunctional cytokine that positively or negatively regulates numerous processes including development, hematopoiesis, tissue remodeling, wound repair, innate and adaptive immunity as well as cancer and autoimmune diseases. TGF-β1 is formed by the enzymatic cleavage of the TGF-β1 propeptide that is encoded by the TGFB1 gene and comprised of the Latency Associated Peptide (LAP) and TGF-β1. Prior to secretion, the dimeric LAP-TGF-β1 propeptide is cleaved resulting in a biologically inactive form of dimeric TGF-β1 that is noncovalently associated with dimeric LAP (latent TGF-β1). This complex may be expressed on the surface of TGF-β1-producing cells or be further processed by proteolytic removal of LAP to release the biologically active mature form of the soluble TGF-β1 homodimer. Many different cell types synthesize TGF-β1 and express specific receptors for it. The TW4-9E7 antibody recognizes both the intracellular latent bound form of TGF-β1 along with the membrane bound form of TGF-β1.

PerCP-Cy5.5
PerCP-Cy5.5 dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This tandem fluorochrome is comprised of a fluorescent protein complex (PerCP) with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 482 nm and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum (Em Max) at 676 nm. PerCP-Cy5 is designed to be excited by the blue laser (488-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 680 nm (e.g., a 695/40 nm bandpass filter). The donor dye can be partially excited by the Violet (405-nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
