BD Pharmingen™ Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Human Granulysin
Clone RB1 (RUO)




Flow cytometric analysis of anti-human granulysin on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Isolated human PBMC were stained with APC anti-human CD56 (clone B159, Cat. No. 555518). Cells were then fixed and permeabilized with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ (Cat. No. 554722) followed by staining with either Alexa 488 anti-granulysin (clone RB1, Cat. No. 558254, right panel) or a Alexa 488 conjugated isotype control (clone MOPC-21; Cat. No. 557702, left panel). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ System.

Preparation And Storage
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.
- 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.
- Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
- The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The monoclonal antibody RB1 recognizes both 15-kDa precursor and 9-kDa effector forms of human granulysin, a protein present in granules of human natural killer (NK) cells and activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Granulysin is cytolytic against both tumor and microbial targets and has been found to kill extracellular and intracellular mycobacterium tuberculosis through a granule-dependent mechanism. Granulysin is a member of a larger family of proteins known as saposin-like proteins (SAPLIP) that are thought to associate with lipids. The crystal structure of granulysin suggests that it functions as a lytic molecule. To date, no granulysin homolog has been found in mice, precluding the generation of granulysin knockout animals.
