PE Mouse anti-T-bet
Flow cytometric analysis of T-bet expression by human peripheral blood lymphocytes.      Left and Middle Left Panels: Whole blood was treated with BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix Buffer (Cat. No. 558049) to lyse erythrocytes and fix leukocytes. Cells were permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I (Cat. No. 557885; Left Panel) or Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050; Middle Left Panel). Cells were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 557706) and PE Mouse anti-T-Bet (Cat. No. 561268) antibodies. Two-color dot plots showing CD3 versus T-bet expression for lymphocytes were generated using a BD FACSCalibur™ Flow Cytometer.      Middle Right Panel: Whole blood was treated with BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix Buffer (Cat. No. 558049). Cells were permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050), washed, and stained with PE Mouse anti-T-Bet (Cat. No. 561268), FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD45RO (Cat. No. 555492), APC Mouse Anti-Human CD45RA (Cat. No. 550855), BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 560365), and PerCP Mouse Anti-Human CD4 (Cat. No. 347324) antibodies. Two-color contour plots showing CD45RA (Top Plot) or CD45RO (Bottom Plot) versus T-bet expression patterns for CD3+CD4+ lymphocytes were generated using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer.      Right Panel: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were polarized in culture to generate Th1- (shaded histogram) or Th2-like (open histogram) cells. The cells were restimulated with PMA (Sigma Cat. No. P-8139) and Ionomycin (Sigma Cat. No. I-0634; 1 ug/ml). The cells were then fixed, permeabilized, and stained with PE Mouse anti-T-Bet (Cat. No. 561268), V450 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 560366) and PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-Human CD4 (Cat. No. 560650) using BD Biosciences Protocol for Intracellular Cytokine Staining. The histograms for CD3+CD4+ lymphocytes expressing T-bet were generated using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer.

O4-46

The O4-46  monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human and mouse T-bet. T-bet (T-box gene expressed in T cells) is a master regulatory transcription factor that is also known as TBX21 (T-box21) and TBLYM (T-box transcription factor, expressed in lymphocytes). Human (535 amino acids; 58.3 kDa predicted molecular mass) and mouse (530 amino acids; 57.7 kDa) T-bet proteins are encoded by the human TBX21 (chromosome 17) and mouse Tbx21 (chromosome 11) genes. The human and mouse T-bet protein amino acid sequences are 88% homologous. Human and mouse T-bet proteins share a highly conserved (98% homologous amino acid sequences) T-box protein domain that is centrally located and mediates binding to DNA. T-bet is expressed by and activates transcriptional activities within hemotopoietic cells including stem cells,  NK and NKT cells and subsets of thymocytes, primed/activated CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and γδ T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-27 (IL-27), and IL-12 act on peripheral antigen-triggered (TCR-signaling) T cells to increase T-bet expression. With respect to T helper lymphocytes, T-bet directs the differentiation of naïve CD4+ precursor T cells to become Th1-like effector and memory cells. T-bet accomplishes this by activating Th1 genetic programs (including epigenetic modifications) while repressing opposing T helper subset programs. T-bet controls the upregulated expression of the Th1 signature cytokine, IFN-γ, the IL-12Rβ2 subunit and the Runx3 transcription factor and can repress the function of other transcriptional regulators, such as GATA-3 (master regulator of Th2 development) and the expression of other cytokines including IL-2, IL-4 and IL-5.

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.
