Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human IL-22
Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human IL-22
Two-parameter flow cytometric analysis of IL-22 expression in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). PBMCs were cultured in complete tissue culture medium with Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA; Sigma, 50 ng/ml) and Ionomycin (Sigma, 500 ng/ml) in the presence of BD GolgiPlug™ Protein Transport Inhibitor (Cat. No. 555029) for 6 hours. The cells were harvested, then fixed and permeabilized using BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and BD Perm/Wash™ buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were then stained with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD4 (Cat. No. 555347/561843/561844) and either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 565365; Left Panel) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-IL-Human 22 antibody (Cat. No. 567160/567161; Right Panel) at 0.125 µg/test. Bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of IL-22 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD4 were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD X-20 LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage

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. 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 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 cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

  1. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
  2. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  4. 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.
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

MH22B2

The MH22B2 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human Interleukin-22 (IL-22), which is encoded by the IL22 gene. Cross-reactivity of MH22B2 mAb to mouse IL-22 (which shares 79% amino acid identity with human IL-22) has been observed by ELISA and by flow cytometry of HEK293 cells transfected with mouse IL-22 and TH17-differentiated CD4-positive T cells from C57BL/6 mice. IL-22 (with or without other cytokines) is secreted by many T-cell and innate-lymphoid-cell populations. Evidence that IL-22 plays a key role in mucosal immunity includes the restricted expression of the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric IL-22 receptor, called IL-22R1, on epithelial cells and cells of epithelial origin. At epithelial surfaces, IL-22 elicits antimicrobial defenses and maintains epithelial integrity. Alternatively, uncontrolled IL-22 production can result in certain inflammatory disorders. Regulation of IL-22 expression is complex, involving other cytokines (eg, IL-6, IL-23, and TGF-β) and many transcription factors, (eg, AHR, c-Maf, STAT3, RORɤT, BATF, and others).

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.
