Two-color flow cytometric analysis of LAP expression on activated mouse CD4+ T cells. BALB/c mouse splenic leucocytes were activated in culture (2 days) with plate-bound Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e (Cat. No. 553057) and Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD28 (Cat. No. 553294) antibodies in the presence of Natural Transforming Growth Factor-b protein (TGF-b; Corning Cat. No. CB-40039). The cells were harvested and stained with PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 553730/557308/561829) and either BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562438; Left Plot) or BD Horizon BV421 Mouse Anti-Mouse LAP antibody (Cat. No. 565638; Right Plot). Two-color flow cytometric dot plots show the correlated expression patterns of CD4 versus LAP (or Ig Isotype control staining) for gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of activated lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System.

Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).

The TW7-16B4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Latency-Associated Peptide (LAP), a component of the dimeric Transforming Growth Factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) propeptide encoded by Tgfb1. Prior to secretion, the dimeric LAP-TGF-β1 propeptide is cleaved resulting in a biologically inactive form of dimeric TGF-β1 that is noncovalently associated with dimeric LAP (latent TGF-β1). This complex may be expressed on the surface of TGF-β1-producing cells or be further processed by proteolytic removal of LAP to release the biologically active mature form of the soluble TGF-β1 homodimer. Platelets contain TGF-β1 and most nucleated cells, including tumor cells and cells that comprise the innate and adaptive immune system can produce TGF-β1. TGF-β1 is a potent multifunctional cytokine that regulates numerous processes including development, hematopoiesis, tissue remodeling, wound repair, and immunity as well as cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates.
