Description
The T32-668 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Sox9, a member of the SRY-related HMG-box (SOX) family of transcription factors. Sox9 plays a key role in skeletal development and sex determination. Mutation of Sox9 has been associated with the human skeletal dysmorphology syndrome campomelic dysplasia, which is often characterized by both skeletal abnormalities and sex reversal. Expression of Sox9 has been observed in a variety of tissues and organs, including cartilage, testis, central neural system, lung, pancreas, intestinal stem cells, and heart.

Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugates are highly photostable and remain fluorescent over a broad pH range. The excitation and emission maxima are nearly identical to those of APC. However, APC tends to be brighter while Alexa Fluor® 647 is more optimal for intracellular applications. This fluorochrome exhibits uncommon photostability, making it an ideal choice for use in fluorescence microscopy. Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, APC and Alexa Fluor® 647 cannot be used simultaneously.

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.
