      PE-CF594 Mouse Anti-Akt (pS473)
      PE-CF594 Mouse Anti-Akt (pS473)
      Flow cytometric analysis of Akt (pS473) expression in human T-cell leukemia cells.  Human Jurkat cells (ATCC TIB-152) were either treated with 1 µM Wortmannin (Life Technologies, Cat. No. PHZ1301) for 2 hours at 37°C (dotted line histogram) or left untreated (solid line histogram).  The cells were fixed (BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 10 minutes at 37°C, then permeabilized (BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III, Cat. No. 558050) on ice for at least 30 minutes, and then stained with BD Phosflow™ PE-CF594 Mouse Anti-Akt (pS473) (Cat. No. 562465). The data demonstrates that the level of phosphorylation of Akt (pS473) decreases when phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity is inhibited by the treatment of Jurkat cells with Wortmannin.  The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometry 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 BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE-CF594 were 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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
      4. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
      5. 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.
      6. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

      9. When excited by the yellow-green (561-nm) laser, the fluorescence may be brighter than when excited by the blue (488-nm) laser.

      M89-61

      Akt [also known as PKB (Protein kinase B) or RAC-PK (Related to the A and C kinases)] is a family of serine/threonine kinases that contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. PH domains play important roles in signal transduction.  There are three known isoforms of Akt in mammalian cells [Akt1 (α), Akt2 (β) and Akt3 (γ)]; they are thought to be regulated similarly.  Akt is activated by insulin and growth factors by a mechanism involving phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase.  Phosphoinositide 3-OH kinases products bind to the PH domain, resulting in translocation of Akt to the plasma membrane and activation of Akt to phospho-Akt by upstream kinases.  Akt is phosphorylated within the activation loop at threonine 308 and the C-terminus at serine 473 (S473).  Phospho-Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis.  Specifically, phospho-Akt1 has been shown to phosphorylate Bad, a member of the Bcl-2 family that promotes cell death.  This phosphorylation results in the inactivation of the proapoptotic function of Bad.  The Akt molecule is thus considered to link extracellular survival signals (growth factors) with the apoptotic machinery (BAD).  Akt is also a key mediator of the metabolic effects of insulin.  Additionally, Akt has been referred to as an oncogene because it has increased activity in a number of tumors.

      The M89-61 antibody recognizes Akt phosphorylated at S473.  This phosphorylation site is shared by all three isoforms of Akt.  The homologous phosphorylation sites in Akt2 and Akt3 are S474 and S472, respectively.

      This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ PE-CF594, which has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences as a better alternative to PE-Texas Red®. PE-CF594 excites and emits at similar wavelengths to PE-Texas Red® yet exhibits improved brightness and spectral characteristics. Due to PE having maximal absorption peaks at 496 nm and 564 nm, PE-CF594 can be excited by the blue (488-nm), green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and can be detected with the same filter set as PE-Texas Red® (eg 610/20-nm filter).

      PE-CF594
      BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 dye is a part of the BD PE family of dyes. This tandem fluorochrome is comprised of a R-Phycoerythrin (PE) donor that has excitation maxima (Ex Max) of 496-nm and 566-nm and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum (Em Max) at 615-nm. PE-CF594, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the blue (488-nm), Green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 615 nm (e.g., a 610/20-nm bandpass filter). The donor dye can be excited by the Blue (488-nm), Green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and the acceptor dye can be excited by the green (532-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.
