Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Stat3 (pS727)
Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Stat3 (pS727)
Analysis of Stat3 (pS727) in monocytes.  Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were either stimulated with 40 nM PMA (Sigma, P8139) for 15 minutes (shaded histogram) or unstimulated (open histogram).  The cells were fixed (BD Cytofix™ buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 10 minutes, then permeabilized (BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III, Cat. No. 558050) on ice for at least 30 minutes, and then stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-Stat3 (pS727) (Cat. No. 558085).  Monocytes were selected by scatter profile. 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.

49/p-Stat3

The 49/p-Stat3 monoclonal antibody recognizes the S727-phosphorylated form of Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3/STAT3 isoform 1).  The fluorochrome-conjugated formats have been evaluated using a human model system. However, the unconjugated form of this antibody is also effective for western blot analysis of human, mouse, and rat tissue. The Stat proteins function both as cytoplasmic signal transducers and as activators of transcription.  Seven mammalian Stat proteins have been identified: Stat1-4, Stat5a, 5b, and Stat6. Stat3 is a 92-kDa protein that is activated as a DNA binding protein through cytokines, such as IL-6, and growth factors, such as EGF.  Stat3 is phophorylated at serine 727 (S727) via the MAPK pathway.  The S727 residue is located at a conserved Pro-X-Ser-Pro sequence, which is recognized by the protein kinase ERK.  Activation through the S727 residue is thought to lead to initiation of transcription.  Upon activation, Stat3 dimerizes, translocates to the nucleus, and binds DNA response elements thereby regulating gene expression.  It appears that Stat3 binds to DNA as a homodimer, but it is also capable of binding as a heterodimer with Stat1.  In addition to serine phosphorylation, Stat3 is also phosphorylated at tyrosine 705 by JAK1 in response to cytokine stimulation.  Stat3 is widely expressed and can bind to the sis-inducible element (SIE) site from the c-fos promoter. This site is similar to the GAS element that is present in IFN--induced genes. Thus, phosphorylation of S727 in Stat3 occurs in response to growth factors and cytokines, and is essential for normal transcriptional activity.

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.
