BD Pharmingen™ PE Rat Anti-Mouse Vβ4 T-Cell Receptor
Clone KT4 (RUO)
Two-color analysis of the expression of Vβ4 TCR on peripheral T lymphocytes. SJL lymph node cells were incubated simultaneously with PE-conjugated KT4, FITC-conjugated RM4-5 (anti-mouse CD4, Cat. no. 553046/553047), and FITC-conjugated 53-6.7 (anti-mouse CD8a, Cat. no. 553030/553031) monoclonal antibodies. Flow cytometry was performed on a FACScan™ (BDIS, San Jose, CA).

Preparation And Storage
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Recommended Assay Procedures
For flow cytometry of cell suspensions from peripheral lymphoid tissues, it is recommended that multicolor staining be performed to distinguish T lymphocytes from non-T cells.
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.
- 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.

Antibody Details
KT4
The KT4 antibody specifically recognizes the Vβ4 T-cell Receptor (TCR) of mice having the a (e.g., C57BR, C57L, SJL, SWR), b (e.g., A, AKR, BALB/c, CBA, C3H/He, C57BL, C58, DBA/1, DBA/2), and c (e.g., RIII) haplotypes of the Tcrb gene complex. Vβ4 TCR-bearing cells are among the CD4+ autoreactive T cells which induce autoimmune thyroiditis after elimination of regulatory (CD5-bright) T-cell subsets. Plate-bound KT4 antibody activates Vβ4 TCR-bearing T cells.

PE
R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
