FITC Mouse anti-Human Granzyme B
FITC Mouse anti-Human Granzyme B
Expression of granzyme B by CD8 positive and CD8 negative peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Whole human blood was lysed with PharmLyse™ Lysing buffer (Cat. No. 555899) prior to staining with GB11.  The lysed human blood was subsequently fixed, permeablilized and stained with APC- conjugated mouse anti-human CD8 (APC- RPA-T8, Cat. No. 555369) and either mouse anti-human granzyme B antibody (FITC- GB11, Cat. No. 558132), (filled histograms) or immunoglobulin isotype control (FITC- MOPC-21, Cat. No. 555909), (empty histograms) by using Pharmingen's staining protocol.  To demonstrate specificity of staining, the binding of FITC-GB11 was blocked by preincubation of the fixed/permeabilized cells with an excess of unlabelled GB11 antibody (5 µg, data not shown) prior to staining.  The histograms in the figure were derived from CD8-positive (Left panel) or CD8 -negative (Right panel) gated events.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with FITC under optimum conditions, and unreacted FITC was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Product Notices

  1. 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).

  3. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  4. 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.
  5. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

GB11

The GB11 antibody specifically reacts with human granzyme B, a serine protease of  approximately 32 kDa.  Granzyme B is stored in the granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and NK cells along with the pore-forming protein perforin. In the classic model of target cell lysis, perforins create holes in the target cell membrane allowing entrance of granzymes.  Granzyme B has been shown to act on specific substrates including caspase-3, -7, -9, and -10 which in turn give rise to enzymes that mediate apoptosis. Granzyme B may also be involved in the hydrolysis of extracellular matrix components.  Detectable levels of granzyme B have been detected in sera from healthy volunteers. The immunogen used to generate the GB11 hybridoma was human granzyme B isolated from an NK cell line.

FITC
Fluorescein (FITC) 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 518-nm. FITC 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.
