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 and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Put all BD® AbSeq reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for = 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.

When using BD® AbSeq intracellular markers with the Single Cell 3' Sequencing Intracellular CITE-seq, cells must first be fixed and permeabilized using the BD Rhapsody™ Intracellular AbSeq Buffer Kit before the antibody-oligo can bind to the protein. Refer to the list of required companion products below and see BD Rhapsody™ System Single-Cell Labelling with BD® AbSeq Ab-Oligos for Intracellular CITE-seq (Doc ID: 23-24464) for the complete BD® AbSeq intracellular multiomics staining protocol. Contact your local Field Application Specialist (FAS) for additional guidance.

Use standard laboratory safety protocols. Read and understand the safety data sheets (SDSs) before handling chemicals. To obtain SDSs, go to regdocs.bd.com or contact BD Biosciences technical support at scomix@bdscomix.bd.com.

Warning: All biological specimens and materials contacting them are considered biohazardous. Handle as if capable of transmitting infection and dispose of with proper precautions in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Never pipette by mouth. Wear suitable protective clothing, eyewear, and gloves.

22F6

The 22F6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse and human Helios. Helios is a member of the Ikaros family of zinc-finger transcription factors, which play important roles in hematopoietic cell development and tumor suppression. Helios expression is restricted to the earliest stages of embryonic hematopoiesis, a variety of epithelial tissues and is notably increased in thymic-derived regulatory CD4+Foxp3+ T (Treg) cells. Its high expression levels in Treg cells are independent from Foxp3 and are believed to contribute, along with other transcription factors, to the phenotypic stability of natural regulatory T cells. Accordingly, it has been demonstrated that Helios directly stimulates Foxp3 transcription while it inhibits ll2 gene expression, contributing for the maintenance of cellular anergy.  Helios is also differentially expressed during negative and positive selection in the thymus, marking CD4+ autoreactive cells for deletion. Helios may possibly play roles in T cell activation, since it is upregulated in Th2 and Tfh cells. Despite these roles in T cell development and function, Helios genetic ablation in mice revealed no significant abnormalities in Treg or other T cell subsets. This finding suggests that other Ikaros family members may play redundant roles.
