Flow cytometric analysis of PDX-1 in mouse pancreatic tumor (insulinoma) cells. Beta-TC-6 (ATCC CRL-11506) cells were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No.558050). The cells were stained with either PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse IgG1, isotype control (Cat. No. 550795; dashed line histogram) or PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-PDX-1 monoclonal antibody (Cat. No. 563436, solid line histogram) at matched concentrations. The fluorescence histograms were derived from events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System. This antibody has been found to be reactive with both mouse and human PDX-1, and it can also be used on fixed cells that were permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I (Cat. No. 557885).

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.
- Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
- 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–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.
- 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.

Companion Products
The 658A5 monoclonal antibody binds PDX-1 or Pancreas/Duodenum Homeobox Protein-1 encoded by the PDX1 or IPF1 (Insulin Promoter Factor 1) gene. PDX-1 is a key regulator of pancreatic development and adult beta-cell function. Loss of PDX1 gene function in mice and humans results in pancreatic agenesis. PDX-1 is also involved in endocrine precursor cell development by binding the DNA-binding transcription factor Neurogenin-3. PDX-1-positive cells have been obtained by the directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells through a definitive endoderm lineage.
