Two-color flow cytometric analysis of Zbtb7b (ThPok) expression in mouse thymocytes. Mouse thymocytes were fixed and permeabilized with BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725) and stained with BD Horizon™ Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 562891) and with either BD Horizon™ RY586 Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 568160; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ RY586 Rat Anti-Mouse Zbtb7b (ThPok) antibody (Cat. No. 568128/568129; Right Plot) at 0.03 µg/test. The bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of Zbtb7b (ThPok) [or Ig Isotype control staining] versus CD4 was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact thymocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage
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.

The T43-94 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes mouse Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 7B (Zbtb7b) which is also known as, T-helper-inducing POZ/Krueppel-like factor (Th-POK), Krueppel-related zinc finger protein cKrox (cKrox), or Zinc finger protein 67 (Zfp67). Zbtb7b is a Zn2+ finger-containing transcription factor that acts as a transcriptional repressor or activator in a promoter-dependent manner. Zbtb7b plays a role in thymic selection of T cells and is expressed in CD4+CD8+ thymocytes and mature CD4+CD8- thymocytes and T cells. It is not expressed by mature CD4-CD8+ thymocytes and T cells. It indirectly increases the expression of CD4 in developing T cells by antagonizing Runx-3-mediated CD4 repression. Zbtb7b expression has also been found in NKT and gamma/delta T cells. Zbtb7b plays a role in transcriptional repression of collagen gene expression as well.
The BD Horizon RealYellow™ 586 (RY586) Dye is part of the BD family of yellow-green dyes. It is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 565-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 586-nm. Driven by BD innovation, RY586 can be used on both spectral and conventional cytometers and is designed to be excited by the Yellow-Green laser (561-nm) with minimal excitation by the 488-nm Blue laser. For conventional instruments equipped with a Yellow-Green laser (561-nm), RY586 can be used as an alternative to PE and we recommend using an optical filter centered near 586-nm (eg, a 586/15-nm bandpass filter). For spectral instruments equipped with a Yellow-Green laser (561-nm), it can be used in conjunction with PE. Compared to PE, RY586 is similar in brightness, minimal spillover into Blue detectors, and increased spillover into the 610/20-nm (PE-CF594) detector. Please ensure that your instrument configuration (lasers and optical filters) is appropriate for this dye.
