BD Pharmingen™ Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rabbit Anti-Human GLUT1
Clone EPR3915 (RUO)
Flow cytometric analysis of GLUT1 in A549 cells. Cells from the Human A549 (Lung adenocarcinoma ATCC® CCL-185™) cell line were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with Perm/Wash Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were then stained with either Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (Cat. No. 569346; dashed line histogram) or Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rabbit Anti-Human GLUT1 antibody (Cat. No. 569321; solid line histogram) at 0.125 µg/test. The fluorescence histogram showing the expression of GLUT1 (or Ig Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
- 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.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

The EPR3915 recombinant monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), which is also known as GLUT, GLUT-1, SLC2A1 or Glucose transporter type 1, erythrocyte/brain. GLUT1 is a ~54 kDa integral membrane protein encoded by SLC2A1 (Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 1), which belongs to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transporters. This transport protein contains 12 hydrophobic transmembrane helices and an intracellular domain with both N- and C-termini within the cytosol. GLUT1 is differentially expressed by a wide variety of normal cells including erythrocytes, blood-brain barrier endothelial cells, astrocytes, adipocytes, cardiomyocytes, lymphocytes, and other leucocytes, as well as by tumor cells and cell lines. GLUT1 serves as a major transporter for glucose, other aldose sugars and vitamin C across the mammalian blood-brain barrier and is a key regulator of glucose metabolism. GLUT1 is essential for CD4+T cell activation and effector T cell (Teff) expansion and survival. Disrupting normal glucose metabolism in immune cells may lead to hyperactive immune responses and pathological disease.
