Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse Anti-Human LAG-3 (CD223)
Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of LAG-3 (CD223) expression on unstimulated (Top Figures) and stimulated (Bottom Figures) human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cultured for 3 days with plate-bound Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 555329; 10 µg/mL for coating) and soluble Anti-Human CD28 (Cat. No. 555725; 1 µg/mL) antibodies, and Human Recombinant IL-2 (Cat. No. 554603; 10 ng/mL). Unstimulated PBMC (from the same donor) and stimulated PBMC were stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD8 (Cat. No. 562428/562429; Left Figures), BD Horizon™ BUV737 Mouse Anti-Human CD279 (PD-1) (Cat. No. 612791/612792; Right Figures), and Alexa Fluor™ 488 Mouse Anti-Human LAG-3 (CD223) (Cat. No. 567610/567611) antibodies. BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution (Cat. No. 555815/555816) was added to cells right before analysis. Multicolor flow cytometric contour plots showing the correlated expression of LAG-3 (CD223) versus CD8, or LAG-3 versus CD279 (PD-1) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) unstimulated or stimulated lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD X-20 LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer 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. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  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. 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).
  6. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  7. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

T47-530

The T47-530 specifically recognizes the Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3 (LAG-3) protein which is also known as, Protein FDC, or CD223. LAG-3 is a ~70 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Ig superfamily and exhibits homology to CD4. LAG-3 is expressed on NK cells, regulatory T cells, and activated conventional T cells with higher expression found on CD8+ T cells compared with CD4+ T cells. LAG-3 is an activation induced cell surface molecule that like CD4, binds MHC class II molecules, but with much higher affinity. This may enable LAG-3 to act as a negative competitor of CD4 for MHC class II ligand binding. LAG-3 may associate with the TCR-CD3 complex to downregulate TCR signal transduction and T cell clonal expansion. In contrast, LAG-3-induced signaling may promote dendritic cell activation.

Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
