BD Pharmingen™ PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse anti-Human Pax-6
Clone O18-1330 (RUO)
Intracellular staining of Pax-6 in neural induction of human embryonic stem (ES) cells. H9 human ES cells (WiCell, Madison, WI) were cultured in mTeSR® (Stem CellTechnologies) on plates coated with BD Matrigel™ hESC-qualified Matrix (Cat. No. 354277). Embryoid bodies (EB) were made and cultured in medium containing Knockout™ Serum Replacement (Life Technologies) without bFGF for 24 hours and then in medium containing 250 ng/ml human recombinant noggin (R&D Systems) and 10 mM SB 431542 (Tocris) for 4 more days. The EB were then plated on BD Matrigel-coated plates and grown in medium with ITS supplement (Sigma-Aldrich), noggin, and SB 431542. After growth for 7 days, the cells were collected, fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655), and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were then stained with PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse anti-Human Pax-6 and PE Mouse anti-Human Sox1 (Cat. No.561592). The plot was derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics for the neural induction. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD™ LSR II flow cytometry system. We do not recommend this conjugate for staining human ES-derived endoderm cells.

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 with PerCP-Cy5.5 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PerCP-Cy5.5 were removed. Storage of PerCP-Cy5.5 conjugates in unoptimized diluent is not recommended and may result in loss of signal intensity.
Recommended Assay Procedures
Although this PerCP-Cy5.5 conjugate performs well when staining human ES-derived neural cells, we do not recommend it for staining human ES-derived endoderm cells. We recommend the PE (Cat. No. 561552) and Alexa Fluor® 488 (Cat. No. 561664) conjugates for staining human ES-derived endoderm cells.
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.
- PerCP-Cy5.5–labelled antibodies can be used with FITC- and R-PE–labelled reagents in single-laser flow cytometers with no significant spectral overlap of PerCP-Cy5.5, FITC, and R-PE fluorescence.
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
- PerCP-Cy5.5 is optimized for use with a single argon ion laser emitting 488-nm light. Because of the broad absorption spectrum of the tandem fluorochrome, extra care must be taken when using dual-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PerCP and Cy5.5™. We recommend the use of cross-beam compensation during data acquisition or software compensation during data analysis.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

Antibody Details
O18-1330
Pax-6 is a member of the paired box (pax) gene family whose protein products are transcription factors involved in development. Pax family members share a highly conserved DNA binding domain that contains six alpha helices (paired domain) and a homeo box domain. Pax-6 has important roles in the development of the eye, nose, central nervous system, and pancreas. Defects in Pax-6 are responsible for various eye malformations including aniridia and Peters anomaly.
The O18-1330 monoclonal antibody reacts with human Pax-6. Because the Pax-6 protein sequence is highly conserved among vertebrate species, cross-reactivity with other species is possible.

Format Details
PerCP-Cy5.5
PerCP-Cy5.5 dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This tandem fluorochrome is comprised of a fluorescent protein complex (PerCP) with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 482 nm and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum (Em Max) at 676 nm. PerCP-Cy5 is designed to be excited by the blue laser (488-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 680 nm (e.g., a 695/40 nm bandpass filter). The donor dye can be partially excited by the Violet (405-nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
