The Q21-559 monoclonal antibody recognizes ROR gamma t (RORγt), an isoform of ROR gamma (RORγ). RORγt is a DNA-binding transcription factor that is encoded by the RORC (RAR-related orphan receptor C) gene. It belongs to the ROR/RZR orphan nuclear receptor family. Two protein isoforms are produced from the RORC gene by alternative splicing: RORγ or RORγt. The RORγ isoform is expressed in many tissues, including thymus, lung, liver, kidney, muscle, and brown fat. However the tissue distribution of the second isoform RORγt is highly restricted to the thymus where it is expressed exclusively in immature CD4+CD8+ thymocytes and in peripheral Th17 and LTi cells. RORγt reportedly functions as an essential transcription factor for the development of secondary lymphoid tissues. It also plays an important regulatory role in thymopoiesis and effector T cell differentiation, especially for Th17 cells.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV650 which is part of the BD Horizon™ Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon™ BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 650-nm. BD Horizon™ BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor® 700 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
