Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat anti-Mouse IL-17A
Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat anti-Mouse IL-17A
Characterization of IL-17A-producing cells within a stimulated mouse EL4 thymoma cell population. EL4 cells were stimulated  (left and middle panels) or unstimulated (right panel) with PMA (50 ng/ml final concentration; Sigma, Cat. No.P-8139) and Ionomycin (1000 ng/ml final concentration; Sigma, Cat. No.I-0634) in the presence of BD GolgiStop™ (Cat. No. 554724). The cells were fixed, permeabilized and subsequently stained with Alexa 647 conjugated anti-mouse IL-17A (clone TC11-18H10, Cat. No.560184/560224) (middle and right panels) or Alexa 647 rat IgG1 isotype control (clone R3-34, Cat. no. 557731) (left panel) using Pharmingen's I/C staining protocol. The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the autofluorescence control, and verified with the unstimulated stained (right panel) and non-specific antibody  (left panel) controls.

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® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

For flow cytometry of cell suspensions from peripheral lymphoid tissues, it is recommended that the cells be pre-incubated with Mouse BD Fc Block™ purified anti-mouse CD16/CD32 mAb 2.4G2 (Cat. No.553141/553142).

TC11-18H10

The TC11-18H10 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to recombinant and natural mouse IL-17A proteins. IL-17A, also known as CTLA-8, is a T cell-derived cytokine that promotes inflammatory responses.  Mouse IL-17A is a proinflammatory cytokine that can induce the release of IL-6 by mouse stromal cells. It has been shown to support the growth of hemopoietic progenitors in vitro; it can also stimulate granulopoiesis in vivo. The TC11-18H10 antibody has been reported to neutralize IL-17A activity.  Recent studies have shown that IL-17A is produced by a unique subset of Th17 cells that develop along a pathway distinct from the Th1- and Th2- cell differentiation pathways. The mouse IL-17A cDNA was isolated from a cDNA library generated from TCRαβ+CD4-CD8- thymocytes.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 670-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
