Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The 236A/E7 antibody reacts with the human FoxP3 (Forkhead box protein P3) transcription factor, a member of the forkhead or winged helix family of transcription factors. The expression of FoxP3, also known as Scurfin, IPEX and JM2, has been found to be associated with CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells and represents a specific marker for these cells. Flow cytometric analysis has shown that FoxP3 is expressed by the majority of CD4+ CD25+ (high) T cells in peripheral blood while less than half of CD4+ CD25+ (intermediate) cell population are FoxP3 positive. Approximately 5-10% of peripheral CD4+ cells are CD4+ CD25+ T regulatory cells. T regulatory cells are thought to play a critical role in the control of T cell mediated autoimmunity by suppressing the proliferation and cytokine production of other T cells. To support this hypothesis, it has been found that Foxp3 is mutated in scurfy (sf) mice. Cumulative evidence suggests that the 236A/E7 antibody recognizes epitopes from both isoforms of Exon 2 alternatively-spliced variants and is located in the region between Exon 2 and the Zn/LZ domains (aa 105-235).

This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ PE-CF594, which has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences as a better alternative to PE-Texas Red™. PE-CF594 excites and emits at similar wavelengths to PE-Texas Red™ yet exhibits improved brightness and spectral characteristics. Due to PE having maximal absorption peaks at 496nm and 564nm, PE-CF594 can be excited by the blue (488-nm), green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and can be detected with the same filter set as PE-Texas Red™ (eg 610/20-nm filter).
