Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-PKA RIIα (pS99)
Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-PKA RIIα (pS99)
Analysis of PKA RIIα (pS99) in human peripheral blood lymphocytes.  Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were either treated with 1µM Staurosporine (EMD Biosciences, Cat. No. 569397) for 2 hours at 37ºC (shaded histogram) or untreated (open histogram).  The PBMC were fixed (BD Cytofix™ buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 10 minutes at 37°C, permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) on ice for 30 minutes, and then stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-PKA RIIα (pS99, Cat. No. 560164).  For data analysis, lymphocytes were selected by their scatter profile.  The data demonstrates that the level of phosphorylation of PKA RIIα decreases when protein kinase activity is inhibited by the treatment.  Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ 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 to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Either BD Cytofix™ fixation buffer or BD Phosflow™ Fix Buffer I may be used for cell fixation.  Any of the three BD Phosflow™ permeabilization buffers may be used.

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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  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® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

I65-856.286

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase (PKA) is composed of two distinct subunits: catalytic (C) and regulatory (R).  Four regulatory subunits have been identified: RIα, RIβ, RIIα, and RIIβ.  These subunits define type I and II PKAs.  Following binding of cAMP, the regulatory subunits dissociate from the catalytic subunits, rendering the enzyme active.  Type I and II holoenzymes have three potential C subunits (Cα, Cβ, or Cγ).  Type II PKA can be distinguished by autophosphorylation of the R subunits, while type I PKA binds Mg/ATP with high affinity.  The cAMP-dependent autophosphorylation of the human RIIα subunit occurs at Serine 99 (S99) [Entrez Protein Accession #CAA33094].  Most cells express both type I and type II PKAs.  Although the Rα isoforms are ubiquitously expressed, the Rβ isoforms are predominantly found in nervous and adipose tissues.  In addition to their enzyme regulatory activity, the RIIα and RIIβ subunits determine the subcellular location of the holoenzymes via their interactions with specific intracellular anchoring proteins.

The I65-856.286 antibody recognizes human PKA RIIα phosphorylated at S99.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
