Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse Anti-Human Ki-67
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse Anti-Human Ki-67
Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of Ki-67 expression in noncycling Human peripheral blood lymphocytes or proliferating Human MOLT-4 cells. Noncycling normal Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells containing lymphocytes (Top Plots) or proliferating cells from the Human MOLT-4 (T lymphoblastic leukemia, ATCC® CRL-1582™) cell line (Bottom Plots) were permeabilized and fixed with 70% ice-cold ethanol. In separate experiments, the normal or MOLT-4 cells were washed twice with BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) [Cat. No. 554656], stained with either Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 565572; Left Plots) or Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse Anti-Human Ki-67 antibody (Cat. No. 571536/571578; Right Plots) and counterstained with BD Pharmingen™ DAPI Solution (Cat. No. 564907) to stain DNA. Bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of DNA (DAPI) versus Ki-67 levels (or Ig Isotype control staining) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes or MOLT-4 cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSymphony™ A5 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

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

  1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  2. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  4. 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.
  5. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).

Ki-67

The Ki-67 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the Ki-67 antigen (also known as KI67, KI-67). Ki-67 is a nonhistone nuclear protein that is encoded by MKI67 (Marker of Proliferation Ki-67). Ki-67 is associated with cellular proliferation and its expression increases as cells enter and progress through the G1, S, G2, and M cell cycle phases. Ki-67 is a large protein having 2 alternatively spliced isoforms. The Ki-67 protein contains an N-terminal forkhead-associated domain, a protein phosphatase 1-binding domain, a large central region of tandem repeats, and a C-terminal leucine/arginine-rich chromatin-binding domain. Ki-67 is required for cell proliferation and serves as useful marker for distinguishing and analyzing quiescent cells (Ki-67-negative cells within the G0 cell cycle phase) from cycling Ki-67-positive cells including cancer cells.

Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
