BD Pharmingen™ Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse Anti-Human FoxA2
Clone N17-280 (RUO)
Flow cytometric analysis of FoxA2 expression in Hep G2 cells. Cells from the Human Hep G2 [HEPG2] (Hepatocellular carcinoma, ATCC® HB-8065™) cell line were fixed (10 min, 37ºC) with pre-warmed BD Cytofix™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and then permeabilized (on ice, 30 min) with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were washed with BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) [Cat. No. 554656] and stained with either Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557702; dashed line histogram) or Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse Anti-Human FoxA2 antibody (Cat. No. 571075/571078; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histogram showing FoxA2 expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software.

Preparation And Storage
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
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.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).

Antibody Details
N17-280
FoxA2, forkhead box A2, is a member of the forkhead class of DNA-binding proteins that regulates gene expression in the liver, pancreatic islets, adipocytes and some neural cells. This hepatocyte nuclear factor is a transcriptional activator for liver-specific genes such as alpha fetoprotein, albumin, tyrosine aminotransferase and transthyretin. FoxA2 is expressed in embryonic endoderm, the germ layer that gives rise to the digestive system, and contributes to the specification of the pancreas and the regulation of glucose homoeostasis. FoxA2 also has roles in neural development. Specifically, FoxA2 cooperates with related FoxA1 in the specification and differentiation of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in a dosage-dependent manner.

Format Details
Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
