Two-color flow cytometric analysis of TCF-7/TCF-1 expression by human lymphocytes or mouse splenocytes. Upper Plots - Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were fixed and permeabilized with the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725). The cells were then stained with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 555347/561843/561844) and either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 565571; Left Plot) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-TCF-7/TCF-1 antibody (Cat. No. 566693; Right Plot) at 0.06 μg/test. Lower Plots - Mouse splenic leucocytes were similarly fixed and permeabilized. The cells were then stained with PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 553048/553049/561837) and either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Left Plot) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-TCF-7/TCF-1 antibody (Right Plot) at 0.06 μg/test. Bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of CD4 versus TCF-7/TCF-1 (or Ig Isotype control staining) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. 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 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 cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
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.
- 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 S33-966 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to TCF-7 (Transcription factor 7) which is also known as TCF-1 (T-cell factor 1). TCF-7 is a member of the High Mobility Group (HMG) DNA binding protein family of transcription factors. TCF-7 is expressed in thymocytes, T lymphocytes and proliferating epithelial cells. TCF-7 is expressed in the earliest T cell precursors and serves as a critical transcriptional regulator that is involved in the differentiation of thymocytes to become mature T lymphocytes. TCF-7 is necessary for the survival of immature CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. TCF-7 can also promote the differentiation of mature peripheral T cells to become Th2-like cells. TCF-7 may also function as a transcriptional repressor of certain target genes including CTNNB1 and TCF7L2. The S33-966 antibody crossreacts with human TCF-7.
