Analysis of Stat4 (pY693) in activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human whole blood was either stimulated with 40,000 U/ml of IFN-a for 15 minutes at 37ºC (open histogram) or unstimulated (shaded histogram). The cells were lysed and fixed with 1X BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix Buffer (Cat. No. 558049) for 10-15 minutes at 37ºC, then permeabilized (BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III; Cat. No. 558050) on ice for at least 30 minutes, and then stained with PE anti-Stat4 (pY693). For data analysis, lymphocytes were selected by scatter profile. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system.

The Stat proteins function both as cytoplasmic signal transducers and as activators of transcription. Seven mammalian Stat proteins have been identified: Stat1-4, Stat5a, 5b, and Stat6. Stat4 has been shown to play an important role in development of T helper cells, specifically the Th1 subset. Stat4 is activated by IL-12 and by type 1 interferons. Knockout mice supported the role that Stat4 plays in IL-12 signaling because lymphocytes from Stat 4-/- mice could neither differentiate into Th1 cells nor produce IFN-γ in response to treatment with IL-12. IFN-γ plays an important role in host defense. A key component in the activation of Stat4 is the phosphorylation on tyrosine and serine residues in response to IL-12 stimulation. IL-12 stimulation leads to the phosphorylation of Stat4 on tyrosine 693 and serine 721. Transcriptional activity of Stat4 has been shown to be significantly reduced when residues Y693 and S721 are mutated.
Clone 38/p-Stat4 has been confirmed to recognize mouse phospho-Stat4 with western blot application using Purified Mouse Anti-Stat4 (pY693), Cat. Nos. 612739 & 612738.
