Analysis of Ikaros Expression Left Panel - Flow cytometric analysis of Ikaros expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC) cells were fixed and permeabilized using the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725). The cells were stained with either Purified Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554121; dashed line histogram) or Purified Mouse Anti-Ikaros antibody (Cat. No. 564475; solid line histogram). The cells were washed and stained with PE Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Cat. No. 550589). The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer System. Middle Panel - Western blot analysis of Ikaros expressed by human PBMC. A PBMC lysate was electrophoresed (SDS-PAGE) and the cellular proteins were transferred to a membrane where they were probed using Purified Mouse Anti-Ikaros antibody at concentrations of 4 (lane 1), 1 (lane 2), and 0.25 μg/ml (lanes 3). Ikaros was identified in bands ranging in size from ~50-70 kDa. Right Panel - Ikaros staining of human tonsil. Tissue sections were prepared from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tonsils. Following antigen retrieval with BD Retrievagen A Buffer (Cat. No. 550524), the sections were stained with either Purified Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control (Left Tonsil Section, 20x original) or Purified Mouse Anti-Ikaros antibody (Middle and Right Tonsil sections at 20x and 40x original, respectively). A three-step staining procedure that employs a Biotin Goat Anti-Mouse Immunoglobulin (Cat. No. 550337), Streptavidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) (Cat. No.550946), and the DAB Substrate Kit (Cat. No. 550880) was used to develop the primary staining reagents. The tissue was counterstained with Hematoxylin. Ikaros staining is detected in the nuclei of some lymphocytes.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
- 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.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

The R32-1149 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Ikaros, which is encoded by IKZF1 (IKAROS family zinc finger 1). Ikaros is also known as Lymphoid transcription factor LyF-1 (LYF1) and ZNFN1A1 [Zinc finger protein, subfamily 1A, 1 (Ikaros)]. Ikaros belongs to the IKAROS family of zinc-finger transcription factors. This DNA-binding transcription factor forms homodimers and heterodimers with other IKAROS family members. It is involved in the development of lymphoid tissues and remains abundantly expressed in the thymus and by cells within peripheral lymphoid tissues. Ikaros functions in the maturation, differentiation, and homeostasis of various hematopoietic cells including T lymphocytes, B cells, NK cells, and neutrophils. Ikaros regulates the expression of a number of genes including various genes expressed during early stages of B- and T-cell development. Several alternatively-spliced human Ikaros isoforms have been described. Abnormal expression of different Ikaros isoforms has been associated with hematologic malignancies. Flow cytometric analysis of 293F cells transfected with members of the IKAROS family has demonstrated that clone R32-1149 is negative on Helios, Aiolos, and Eos transfectants.
