Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of Foxp3 expression in mouse splenocytes. Mouse splenic leucocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142), then fixed and permeabilized using the Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725). The cells were stained with FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 553047/553046/561835) and either BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562302) or BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 Rat Anti-Mouse Foxp3 antibody (Cat. No. 567373) at 0.25 µg/test. The pseudocolor bivariate density plots showing the correlated expression patterns of Foxp3 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus Foxp3 for 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. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

- When excited by the yellow-green (561-nm) laser, the fluorescence may be brighter than when excited by the blue (488-nm) laser.

- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
Companion Products
The R16-715 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse Foxp3. Foxp3 is a 50-55 kDa protein also known as Forkhead box P3, JM2, IPEX, Scurfin, and Sf. It is a member of the forkhead or winged helix family of transcription factors and is specifically expressed by T regulatory (Treg) cells. Foxp3 is a key regulatory protein for Treg cell development and function. Ectopic expression of Foxp3 in conventional T cells is sufficient to induce suppressive activity, repress the production of cytokines such as IL2 and IFN-γ, and upregulate Treg cell-associated molecules such as CD25, CTLA4 and GITR. It has been found that the mutation of Foxp3 is responsible for "scurfy" mice. When overexpressed, Foxp3 leads to poor T cell proliferation and activation.
This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ PE-CF594, which has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences as a better alternative to PE-Texas Red®. PE-CF594 excites and emits at similar wavelengths to PE-Texas Red® yet exhibits improved brightness and spectral characteristics. Due to PE having maximal absorption peaks at 496 nm and 564 nm, PE-CF594 can be excited by the blue (488-nm), green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and can be detected with the same filter set as PE-Texas Red® (eg, 610/20-nm filter).
