PE Mouse Anti-Glucagon
PE Mouse Anti-Glucagon
Flow cytometric analysis of Glucagon expression in human Glucagon-transfected 293F cells and a mouse pancreas α cell line. LEFT PANEL: Untransfected (dashed-line histogram) and human Glucagon-transfected (solid-line histogram) 293F cells were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were washed and then stained with PE Mouse Anti-Glucagon (Cat. No. 565860). RIGHT PANEL: Alpha TC1-6 cells (ATCC CRL-2934) were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were washed and then stained with either PE Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype control (Cat. No. 554680, dashed-line histogram) or PE Mouse Anti-Glucagon (Cat. No. 565860, solid-line histogram). All fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCanto™ II flow cytometry system.

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 with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.

Product Notices

  1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  4. 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.
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  6. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
  7. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

U16-850

The U16-850 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to glucagon, a member of the secretin family of active peptides. Glucagon is an evolutionarily conserved peptide hormone that participates in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by counteracting the effects of insulin. Glucagon is produced by α cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The CGC gene encodes the precursor molecule preproglucagon, which is cleaved to form proglucagon that is in turn cleaved to form at least four distinct peptides, including glucagon, in different tissues. Hypoglycemia causes the secretion of glucagon, which binds to the class B G-protein-coupled glucagon receptor that is mainly expressed in liver and kidney, causing reduced glycogenesis and glycolysis and increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The expression of glucagon can be used to monitor the pancreatic differentiation of pluripotent stem 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.
