Description

eBioscience offers a panel of monoclonal antibodies to different epitopes of human Foxp3, providing useful tools for investigating the complete expression pattern of Foxp3 at the protein level, and discerning the precise subsets of Foxp3+ cells. Other antibodies to human Foxp3 include the recently published PCH101 (cat. 72-5776) and ebio7979 (cat. 14-7979).

The 236A/E7 antibody reacts with human foxp3 protein also known as FORKHEAD BOX P3, SCURFIN, and JM2; cross reactivity of this antibody to other proteins has not been determined. Foxp3, a 49-55 kDa protein, is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcriptional regulators, and was identified as the gene defective in ‘scurfy’ (sf) mice. Constitutive high expression of Foxp3 mRNA has been shown in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg cells), and ectopic expression of foxp3 in CD4+CD25- cells imparts a Treg phenotype in these cells.

Intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of freshly isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with the 236A/E7 antibody using the Foxp3 Staining Buffer Set (cat. 00-5523) and protocol reveals staining of the CD4+CD25^bright population.

The epitope from 236A/E7 is different from that of PCH101 (cat. 72-5776).

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This 236A/E7 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis and IHC.

Applications Tested

This 236A/E7 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells using the Foxp3 Buffer Set (cat. 00-5523) and protocol. Please click here for Staining Protocol (refer to Protocol B: One-step protocol for intracellular (nuclear) proteins). This antibody can be used at 5 μl (0.25 μg)/per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg)/test of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10⁵ to 10⁸ cells/test.

Special Notes

Please see the following link for FAQ regarding the usage of eBioscience Foxp3 reagents:
http://www.ebioscience.com/ebioscience/Foxp3FAQs.htm

The staining protocol has been optimized with freshly Ficoll prepped PBMCs. The use of lysed whole blood is not recommended.

It is critical that this antibody be used in conjunction with the Foxp3 Staining Buffers (cat 00-5523) for flow cytometric analysis.
