Alexa Fluor® 700 Mouse Anti-Human IFN-γ
Alexa Fluor® 700 Mouse Anti-Human IFN-γ
Expression of IFN-γ by stimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBMCs). Human PBMCs were stimulated with PMA and ionomycin in the presence of GolgiStop (Cat. No. 554715). The cells were harvested, fixed, permeabilized, and stained with either Alexa Fluor® 700 Mouse Anti-Human IFN-γ (Cat. No. 557995; left panel) or Alexa Fluor® 700 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557882;  right panel). To demonstrate the specificity of staining, the binding of Alexa Fluor® 700 Mouse Anti-Human IFN-γ was blocked by preincubation of the fixed/permeabilized cells with an excess of Purified Mouse Anti-Human IFN-γ (10 µg, Cat. No. 554699, data not shown) prior to staining. The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the autofluorescence and isotype controls.

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® 700 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 700 was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

The Alexa Fluor® 700-conjugated B27 antibody (Cat. No. 557995) antibody is useful for immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis to identify and enumerate IFN-γ producing cells within mixed cell populations. For optimal immunofluorescent staining for flow cytometric analysis, the anti-cytokine antibody should be titrated (≤ 0.25 µg mAb/million cells). For specific methodology, please visit the protocols section under "Intracellular Flow" or "Cytokines (Intracellular Staining)" on our web site, http://www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources. A useful control for demonstrating specificity of staining is the unlabeled B27 antibody used to pre-block the fixed/permeabilized cells (Cat. No. 554699) prior to staining. A suitable mouse IgG1 isotype control for assessing the level of background staining is Alexa Fluor® 700-conjugated mAb MOPC-21 (Cat. No. 557882).

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. 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.
  4. Alexa Fluor® 700 has an adsorption maximum of ~700nm and a peak fluorescence emission of ~720nm. Before staining cells with this reagent, please confirm that your flow cytometer is capable of exciting the fluorochrome and discriminating the resulting fluorescence.
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  6. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.

B27

The B27 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a 14-18 kDa glycoprotein containing 143 amino acid residues.  IFN-γ is a potent multifunctional cytokine produced by several activated cell types including NK, NKT, CD4+TCRαβ+, CD8+TCRαβ+, and TCRγδ+ T cells. IFN-γ exerts its biological effects through specific binding to the high-affinity IFN-γ receptor complex comprised of IFN-γRα (CD119) and IFN-γRβ subunits. In addition to its antiviral effects, IFN-γ upregulates a number of lymphoid cell functions including the antimicrobial and anti-tumor responses of macrophages, NK cells, and neutrophils. In addition, IFN-γ influences the regulation of proliferation, differentiation, and effector responses of B cell and T cell subsets. These influences can involve IFN-γ's capacity to boost MHC class I and II expression by antigen-presenting cells as well as direct effects on B cells and T cells themselves. B27 is a neutralizing antibody. The use of B27 antibody for epitope mapping of human IFN-γ has been described. The B27 antibody has been reported not to bind to denatured IFN-γ.

Alexa Fluor™ 700
Alexa Fluor™ 700 dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 697 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 719-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 700 is designed to be excited by the Red (627–640-nm) laser and detected using an optical filter centered near 720-nm (e.g., a 720/40-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
