Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This G3H69 monoclonal antibody reacts with human Granzyme K. Granzyme K is one of five granzyme serine proteases that have been identified in humans. These proteins are expressed in the granules of NK cells and cytotoxic T cells, and are critical for the induction of target cell apoptosis through the cleavage of intracellular substrates. Granzyme A and Granzyme K are both tryptases and appear to show overlapping, though not identical, substrate specificity. This functional similarity is believed to account for the minimal decrease in cytotoxicity of Granzyme A-deficient CTLs. Applications Reported: This G3H69 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This G3H69 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood monocytes. This can be used at 5 μL (0.03 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) 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 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. PerCP-eFluor® 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

Granzyme K (GrK) belongs to a family of trypsin-like serine proteases localised in the cytotoxic granules of activated T cells and NK cells. It encodes a 28 kDa serine protease whose gene is located on chromosome 5q11-12 close to the granzyme A-encoding gene. Like granzyme A, it has a trypsin-like specifity cleaving at the basic residues arginine and lysine. Granzyme K triggers rapid cell death independently of caspase activation with single-stranded DNA nicks and is primarily expressed in thymus, lung, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

As with other fluorochromes, we recommend minimal exposure to light to maintain optimal signal.
