Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Stat3 (pY705)
Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Stat3 (pY705)
Flow cytometric analysis of Stat3 (pY705). Human whole blood was collected in the presence of heparin.  Whole blood was either left unstimulated (unshaded) or stimulated (shaded) with recombinant human IL-6 (MN 550071) at 100 ng/mL for 15 min at 37 °C.  Cells were lysed and fixed in a single step using BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix buffer (MN 558049) for 10 min at 37 °C.  Cells were then permeabilized in BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (MN 558050) for 30 min on ice or overnight at -20 °C.  Cells were then washed twice in BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (MN 554656) and stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 mouse anti-Stat3 (pY705) antibody (MN 557814) for 30 min at room temperature.  Samples were analyzed on a BD FACSCalibur™ instrument.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 488 was removed.

4/P-STAT3

Stat (Signal transducer and activators of transcription) proteins are critical mediators of the biologic activity of cytokines, including interleukins, interferons, erythropoietin, and growth factors.  Ligand-receptor interaction leads to activation of constitutively associated JAK family kinases and subsequent recruitment/activation of Stat proteins by tyrosine phosphorylation.  Active Stat proteins then move to the nucleus to promote transcription of cytokine-inducible genes.  Seven Stat proteins have been cloned, each of which is differentially expressed and/or activated in a cytokine-specific and cell type-specific manner. Stat3 is a 92-kDa protein that is activated as a DNA- binding protein through cytokines, such as IL-6, and growth factors, such as EGF. Stat3 activation occurs via tyrosine phosphorylation at Y705. Tyrosine phosphorylation in response to cytokine stimulation is generally mediated by JAK1. Upon activation, Stat3 dimerizes, translocates to the nucleus and binds DNA response elements, thereby regulating gene expression. It has been reported that Stat3 binds to DNA as a homodimer, but it is also capable of binding as a heterodimer with Stat1. In addition to tyrosine phosphorylation, Stat3 is also phosphorylated at S727 via the MAPK pathway.  Stat3 is widely expressed and can bind to the sis-inducible element (SIE) site from the c-fos promoter. This site is similar to the GAS element that is present in IFN-γ induced genes. Thus, phosphorylation of Y705 in Stat3 occurs in response to growth factors and cytokines, and is essential for normal transcription activity.

The 4/P-STAT3 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated Y705 of Stat3.

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.
