BD Horizon™ RY610 Mouse Anti-Nkx6.1
Clone R11-560 (RUO)




Flow cytometric analysis of Nkx6.1 expression in Mouse pancreatic tumor (insulinoma) cells. Cells from the Mouse Beta-TC-6 (Insulinoma, ATCC© CRL-3605™) cell line were 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 either BD Horizon™ RY610 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 571151; dashed line histogram) or BD Horizon™ RY610 Mouse Anti-Nkx6.1 antibody (Cat. No. 571282/571342; solid line histogram) at 0.25 µg/test. The fluorescence histogram showing Nkx6.1 expression (or Ig Isotype staining) was derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSymphony™ A5 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.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
- Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background. For more information visit https://www.bdbiosciences.com/en-us/support/product-notices.
- Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.

The R11-560 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human and mouse homeobox protein Nkx6.1. The transcription factor Nkx6.1 plays a role in pancreatic islet beta cell development through the regulation of HNF1a and insulin genes. Nkx6.1 is considered to be a highly specific transcription factor marking pancreatic beta islet cells, where it is expressed in both developing and mature cells. In addition, Nkx6.1 functions as a transcriptional repressor induced by the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway in fate determination of several neuronal cell types. During antibody development, the purified R11-560 monoclonal antibody was found to detect Nkx6.1 by western blot and indirect immunofluorescent staining followed by flow cytometric analysis or imaging analysis.
