      PE Armenian Hamster Anti-Helios
      PE Armenian Hamster Anti-Helios
      Two-color flow cytometric analysis of Helios expression Left Panel: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD4 antibody (Cat No. 562424/562425) and fixed and permeabilized with the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725). The cells were then stained with either PE Hamster IgG2, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 550085, Left Plot) or PE Armenian Hamster Anti-Helios antibody (Cat. No. 563801; Right Plot). Right Panel: Mouse splenic leucocytes were stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 antibody (Cat No. 562891) and fixed and permeabilized with the BD Transcription Factor Buffer Set. The cells were then stained with either PE Hamster IgG2, κ Isotype Control (Left Plot) or PE Armenian Hamster Anti-Helios antibody (Right Plot). The two-color flow cytometric dot plots show the correlated expression patterns of Helios (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD4 for gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact human peripheral blood lymphocytes or splenic leucocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD FACSCanto™ 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 R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
      3. 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.
      4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

      22F6

      The 22F6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse and human Helios. Helios is a member of the Ikaros family of zinc-finger transcription factors, which play important roles in hematopoietic cell development and tumor suppression. Helios expression is restricted to the earliest stages of embryonic hematopoiesis, a variety of epithelial tissues and is notably increased in thymic-derived regulatory CD4+Foxp3+ T (Treg) cells. Its high expression levels in Treg cells are independent from Foxp3 and are believed to contribute, along with other transcription factors, to the phenotypic stability of natural regulatory T cells. Accordingly, it has been demonstrated that Helios directly stimulates Foxp3 transcription while it inhibits ll2 gene expression, contributing for the maintenance of cellular anergy.  Helios is also differentially expressed during negative and positive selection in the thymus, marking CD4+ autoreactive cells for deletion. Helios may possibly play roles in T cell activation, since it is upregulated in Th2 and Tfh cells. Despite these roles in T cell development and function, Helios genetic ablation in mice revealed no significant abnormalities in Treg or other T cell subsets. This finding suggests that other Ikaros family members may play redundant roles.

      PE
      R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE 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 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
