PE Mouse Anti-Human Alpha-fetoprotein
Flow cytometric analysis of AFP expression in human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells.  Human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells Hep G2 (ATCC®, HB-8065™) were harvested with Accutase™ Cell Detachment Solution (Cat. No. 561527), fixed with BD Cytofix™ fixation buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were stained with either PE Mouse IgG2a, κ isotype control (dashed line, Cat. No. 558595) or PE Mouse anti-Human Alpha-fetoprotein monoclonal antibody (solid line) at matched concentrations. Histograms were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics of HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCanto™ II 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 with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.

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).
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Accutase is a registered trademark of Innovative Cell Technologies, Inc.
  4. All other brands are trademarks of their respective owners.
  5. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  6. 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.

C3/AFP

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a member of the albuminoid gene family which includes albumin, alpha-albumin, and vitamin D protein. Alpha-fetoprotein is an abundant plasma protein synthesized from fetal yolk sac, liver, and gastrointestinal tract during development. Similar to albumin, AFP binds and transports multiple ligands such as nickel, copper, billirubin, and fatty acids. AFP levels are low to absent in healthy adult tissues whereas elevated AFP levels in the adult can be indicative of malignancies. In particular, AFP is expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma, germ cell tumors, and metatstatic cancers of the liver. Maternal serum AFP levels can be monitored to screen for fetal abnormalities. AFP is used as a hepatic progenitor marker in hepatic differentiations from pluripotent stem cells.

PE
R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
