BD Horizon™ RY610 Hamster Anti-Helios
Clone 22F6 (RUO)




Two-color flow cytometric analysis of Helios expression Left Panel: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 562424) and fixed and permeabilized with the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725). The cells were then stained with either BD Horizon™ RY610 Hamster IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 571251; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ RY610 Hamster Anti-Helios antibody (Cat. No. 571235/571299; Right Plot) at 0.06 µg/test. Right Panel: Mouse splenic leukocytes were stained with BD Pharmingen™ APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 553051) and fixed and permeabilized with the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set. The cells were then stained with either Hamster IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ RY610 Hamster Anti-Helios antibody (Right Plot) at 0.06 µg/test. The bivariate pseudocolor density plots show the correlated expression of Helios (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD4 were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact Human peripheral blood lymphocytes or splenic leukocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
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
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
- Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background. For more information visit https://www.bdbiosciences.com/en-us/support/product-notices.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.

The 22F6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse and human Helios. Helios is a member of the Ikaros family of zinc-finger transcription factors, which play important roles in hematopoietic cell development and tumor suppression. Helios expression is restricted to the earliest stages of embryonic hematopoiesis, a variety of epithelial tissues and is notably increased in thymic-derived regulatory CD4+Foxp3+ T (Treg) cells. Its high expression levels in Treg cells are independent from Foxp3 and are believed to contribute, along with other transcription factors, to the phenotypic stability of natural regulatory T cells. Accordingly, it has been demonstrated that Helios directly stimulates Foxp3 transcription while it inhibits ll2 gene expression, contributing for the maintenance of cellular anergy. Helios is also differentially expressed during negative and positive selection in the thymus, marking CD4+ autoreactive cells for deletion. Helios may possibly play roles in T cell activation, since it is upregulated in Th2 and Tfh cells. Despite these roles in T cell development and function, Helios genetic ablation in mice revealed no significant abnormalities in Treg or other T cell subsets. This finding suggests that other Ikaros family members may play redundant roles.
