(RUO)

Analysis of Btk in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human whole blood was lysed and fixed with 1X BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix Buffer (Cat. No. 558049) for 10-15 minutes at 37ºC, then permeabilized (BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer II, Cat. No. 558052) on ice for 30 minutes, and then stained with either PE Mouse anti-Btk (solid-line histogram) or PE Mouse IgG2a isotype control mAb X39 (Cat. No. 340756, dashed-line histogram). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system. The figure displays lymphocytes that were selected by their scatter profile, and the cells showing higher Btk expression are B lymphocytes.

53/BTK

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase whose function is critical for proper B cell development and signaling. It is a member of the Tec family of kinases which includes Tec and Itk. This family is similar to the src family of tyrosine kinases. However, Tec family members lack the N-terminal myristylation site and the regulatory C-terminal tyrosine that are found in src proteins. In addition to an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, the Tec proteins contain Src homology domains 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) and a stretch of 60-80 amino acids between the PH and SH3 domains termed the Tec homology domain. The activity of Btk is regulated by Src-mediated phosphorylation of the kinase domain at tyrosine 551. This event induces Btk kinase activity and subsequent autophosphorylation at tyrosine 223 in the SH3 domain. Phosphorylated Btk then associates with the cell membrane via the interaction of the PH domain with phosphatidylinositol 3, 4, 5-triphosphate. The PH domain is essential for proper activation and function of Btk. A mutation in the PH domain results in Xid, murine X-linked immunodeficiency, and human X-linked agammaglobulinemia.

Format Details

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.
