Flow cytometric analysis of Nkx2.2 expression in human embryonic kidney cells. 293-F cells (Life Technologies R790-07) were fixed and permeabilized with the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat No. 562574). Fixed cells were then stained with either PE Mouse IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555058, dashed line) or PE Mouse Anti-Nkx2.2 (solid line). The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact 293-F cells. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer System.

Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
PE Mouse Anti-Nkx2.2 effectively stains 293-F cells when using either the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574) or BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050).
Product Notices
- 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).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- 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.
- Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

The 74.5A5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Homeobox protein Nkx-2.2 (Nkx2.2), which is a transcription factor required for the differentiation of ventral neuronal populations in the central nervous system and endocrine cell populations in the pancreas and intestine. Within the pancreas, Nkx2.2 is expressed in many cell subsets and plays important roles in islet and β-cell differentiation and maturation. Mice with a homozygous disruption of the Nkx2-2 gene lack mature β cells and die shortly after birth with severe hyperglycemia. Similarly to the Nkx2.2-ablated mice, homozygous mutations in the human NKX2-2 gene have been described in diabetic patients and associated with the etiology of neonatal diabetes. The NKX2-2 gene is also a target of the Ewing sarcoma specific protein EWS-FLI. Nkx2.2 expression can be monitored in order to determine cell fate changes in cultures for the generation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived insulin-producing cells as well as oligodendrocyte progenitors.
