R718 Mouse Anti-Human IL-2
R718 Mouse Anti-Human IL-2
Two color flow cytometric analysis of IL-2 expression by activated Human peripheral blood lymphocytes.  Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated for 5 h with Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA, Sigma P-8139; 50 ng/ml) and Calcium Ionophore A23187 (Sigma C-9275; 1 μ g/ml), in the presence of BD GolgiStop™ Protein Transport Inhibitor (containing Monensin) [Cat. No. 554724]. The cells were harvested, washed with BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) [Cat. No. 554656] and fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) followed by washing and permeabilization using BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723).    The permeabilized cells were then stained in BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD3 antibody (Cat. No. 555333) and with either BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 566928; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse Anti-Human IL-2 antibody (Cat No. 569490/569491; Right Plot). The pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of IL-2 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD3 was 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 LSRFortessa™ X-20 Flow Cytometer System and FlowJo™ software.

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 the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed.

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

  1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  2. 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).
  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. Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).

  7. Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.

5344.111

The 5344.111 antibody specifically binds to the multifunctional cytokine, human interleukin-2 (IL-2). IL-2 is produced by activated T cells and has multiple functions that can affect the growth, proliferation and differentiation of many different target cell types including T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes and macrophages. The immunogen used to generate the 5344.111 hybridoma was affinity-purified, recombinant human IL-2 protein.

R718
The BD Horizon™ Red 718 (R718) Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. It is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 695-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 718-nm. Driven by BD innovation, R718 is designed to be excited by the red laser (627–640-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 720-nm (e.g., a 720/40-nm bandpass filter). R718 is a brighter alternative to Alexa Fluor™ 700. R718 is also a bright small molecule alternative to APC-R700 with lower spread into the APC detector. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
