BD Pharmingen™ PE Mouse Anti-Human LAP
Clone TW4-2F8 (RUO)

Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of LAP expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were activated (24 h) with plate-bound Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 555329) and Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD28 (Cat. No. 555725) antibodies. The cells were harvested and stained with PerCP Mouse Anti-Human CD4 (Cat. No. 347324) and either PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555749; Left Panel) or PE Mouse Anti-Human LAP (Cat. No. 562260; Right Panel) antibodies. The cells were then fixed and stained with the Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Human FoxP3 (Cat. No. 560047) antibody according to the recommended protocol. Two-color flow cytometric dot plots showing the correlated expression patterns of FoxP3 versus LAP (or Ig isotype control staining) were derived from CD4 positive-gated cells with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System. Intracellular staining for LAP on P3UI-TGFβ1 transfectant has also been demonstrated.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Suggested Staining Procedures for PE Mouse anti-Human LAP Antibody:
1. Harvest the PBMCs after stimulation (24 hours) with plate-bound Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 555329) and
Purified NA/LE Mouse Anti-Human CD28 (Cat. No. 555725).
2. Wash the cells twice with stain buffer (eg. BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS), Cat. No. 554656).
3. Stain 1 × 10^6 cells with PerCP Mouse anti-Human CD4 (Cat. No. 347324) and either with the PE Mouse anti-Human LAP antibody
(Cat. No. 562260) or with PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype control (Cat. No. 555749) for 30 minutes on ice, protected from light.
4. Wash cells twice with stain buffer.
5. Stain for Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Human FoxP3, refer to Technical Data Sheet of Cat. No. 560047 for detailed protocol.
In brief,
a. Add 2 ml of 1 × FoxP3 buffer A to the cell pellet.
b. Centrifuge and incubate in 0.5 ml of buffer C for 30 minutes.
c. Wash cells twice with stain buffer and stain with anti-FoxP3 antibody for 30-45min.
d. Wash cells twice with stain buffer and acquire on the Flow cyotmeter.
Product Notices
- 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).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.

The TW4-2F8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Latency-Associated Peptide (LAP), a component of the dimeric Transforming Growth Factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) propeptide encoded by TGFB1. Prior to secretion, the dimeric LAP-TGF-β1 propeptide is cleaved resulting in a biologically inactive form of dimeric TGF-β1 that is noncovalently associated with dimeric LAP (latent TGF-β1). This complex may be expressed on the surface of TGF-β1-producing cells or be further processed by proteolytic removal of LAP to release the biologically active mature form of the soluble TGF-β1 homodimer. Platelets contain TGF-β1 and most nucleated cells, including tumor cells and cells that comprise the innate and adaptive immune system can produce TGF-β1. TGF-β1 is a potent multifunctional cytokine that regulates numerous processes including development, hematopoiesis, tissue remodeling, wound repair, and immunity as well as cancer and autoimmune diseases. Clone TW4-2F8 is routinely quality tested through intracellular staining of LAP in P3UI-TGFβ1 transfected cells.
