Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of Blimp-1 expression in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with BD Horizon™ BV786 Mouse Anti-Human CD27 (Cat No. 563327) and BD Horizon BUV737 Mouse Anti-Human CD19 (Cat. No. 564303) antibodies, washed, and fixed and permeabilized with the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat No. 562574/562725). The cells were then stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Blimp-1 antibody (Cat. No. 565002). Histograms (Right Panel) showing Blimp-1 expression were derived from either CD19+CD27- (gray shaded histogram), CD19+CD27+ (dashed line histogram), or CD19loCD27+ (black solid line histogram) gated events as indicated by the two-color contour plot (Left Panel) showing the correlated expression of CD27 versus CD19 from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Clone 6D3 crossreacts with human and mouse Blimp-1. Customers could also consider fluorescent conjugates of clone 5E7 (Rat Anti-Mouse
Blimp-1) for the staining and flow cytometric analysis of mouse cells that express Blimp-1.

The 6D3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp-1) and crossreacts with human BLIMP-1. Blimp-1 is a 98 kDa zinc finger-containing protein that is encoded by the Prdm1 gene. Blimp-1 was first discovered as a transcriptional repressor of the IFN-β promoter. Blimp-1 is critical for primordial germ cells specification in the early embryo and induction of terminal cell differentiation in multiple somatic cell types. It is largely known as a master regulator of antibody-secreting plasma cells due to its function in the repression of PAX5, CIITA and cMYC genes. Blimp-1 also controls T cell homeostasis and effector differentiation through different mechanisms, including repression of IL-17 producing cells. Blimp-1 also plays roles in the maturation and activity of dendritic cells and natural killer cells.
