Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Syk (pY348)
Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Syk (pY348)
Flow cytometric analysis for Syk (pY348).  Jurkat cells (Human T-cell leukemia; ATCC TIB-152) were serum starved overnight, then either treated with 5 mM H2O2 at 37°C for 15 minutes (shaded histogram) or were untreated (open histogram). The cells were harvested and fixed with pre-warmed BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) for 10 minutes at 37°C, permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm buffer II (Cat. No. 558052) on ice for 30 minutes, and then stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Syk (pY348). The histograms were derived from the light scattering characteristics of the viable cells. The data demonstrates the upregulated phosphorylation of the treated cells versus untreated cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system.

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 to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 488 was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

This antibody conjugate is suitable for intracellular staining of human lymphoid cell lines, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and mouse splenocytes using BD Phosflow™ Fix Buffer I or Lyse/Fix Buffer.  Any of the three BD Phosflow™ permeabilization buffers may be used.

I120-722

Syk is a non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase that is closely related to ZAP70 and plays crucial roles in the development and receptor-mediated signaling of most leukocytes and in vascular integrity.  Syk is expressed in hematopoietic cells, including B lymphocytes, immature (CD4, CD8 double-negative and double-positive) thymocytes, and myeloid cells, epithelial cell lines, and normal breast tissue.  Mature (CD4 or CD8 single-positive) thymocytes and peripheral αβ TCR-bearing T lymphocytes have very low or undetectable levels of Syk.  Syk contributes to the signal transduction process by binding to ITAMs (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motifs) of immune receptors, including Igα and Igβ (CD79a and b), TCRζ, CD3ε, and FcRγ.  Upon receptor activation, Syk binds to phosphorylated ITAMs via its two N-terminal SH2 domains thereby activating Syk and causing tyrosines in the interdomain, between the SH2 and Kinase domains of Syk, to undergo auto-phosphorylation and phosphorylation by Lyn.  The tyrosine 348 phosphorylation site (pY348) in human Syk is orthologous to tyrosine 342 in mouse and rat Syk and tyrosine 315 in human ZAP70.  This phosphorylated site can act as a binding site for other signaling molecules, such as PLCγ, Vav, and Fgr.  

The I120-772 antibody is specific for human Syk (pY348) and does not cross-react with phosphorylated Zap70.  The orthologous phosphorylation site in mouse and rat Syk is Y342.

Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
