Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This SRRCHA monoclonal antibody recognizes human and mouse LCK when phosphorylated on tyrosine 505 (Y505). Y505 is a negative-regulatory site that is phosphorylated by the kinase CSK. LCK is expressed in T cells where it associates with the cytoplasmic tails of the CD4 and CD8 co-receptors on T helper cells and cytotoxic T cells, respectively. When the TCR is engaged, LCK acts to phosphorylate the intracellular chains of CD3 and zeta chains of the TCR complex, allowing the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, ZAP-70, to bind to them. LCK then phosphorylates and activates ZAP-70, which then phosphorylates the adaptor protein, LAT, that serves as a docking site for a number of other proteins, including SLP-76, Grb2, and phospholipase C gamma1. Mice lacking expression of LCK show defects in T cell development and function. Applications Reported: This SRRCHA antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This SRRCHA antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.125 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.

LCK is a member of the Src-family tyrosine kinase, which are essential for signaling through the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex. Upon TCR triggering, LCK phosphorylates the ITAM motives in its zeta subunits establishing binding sites for the SH2 domains of the tyrosine kinase ZAP70, which is also phosphorylated by LCK and activated to generate subsequent signaling platforms by phosphorylation of adaptor LAT. The majority of LCK is localized to the plasma membrane, however, there is also a significant fraction associated with the Golgi apparatus which may contribute to Raf activation under conditions of weak stimulation through the TCR. LCK contains N-terminal sites for myristylation and palmitylation, a PTK domain, and SH2 and SH3 domains which are involved in mediating protein-protein interactions with phosphotyrosine-containing and proline-rich motifs, respectively. LCK is also involved in the regulation of apoptosis induced by various stimuli, but not by the death receptors. Diseases associated with LCK include Immunodeficiency 22 and CD45 deficiency. Alternatively splice variants of the LCK gene encoding different isoforms of the protein have been found.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does eBioscience determine the specificity of their phosphorylation-specific antibodies?

Antibodies are tested and validated in a variety of ways. First, we verify that in a panel of cells in which different pathways have been induced, we see phosphorylation specific staining only in the cells in which the specific pathway of interest has been activated. Second, we verify that phosphorylation specific staining is observed only in cell types in which the protein is expressed and not in cell types in which the protein is not expressed. Third, whenever possible, western immunoblotting is used to confirm the presence of a band(s) of the appropriate size(s) in stimulated/treated cells (and not in unstimulated/untreated cells, as appropriate).

Is the eFluor 660 fluorochrome compatible with Anti-Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 beads?

Yes, in-house studies have demonstrated that the eFluor 660 fluorochrome is recognized by Anti-Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 beads. Side by side studies with Alexa Fluor 647 versus eFluor 660 conjugated antibodies have demonstrated comparable results.

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.

How long can cells that have been fixed and placed in methanol be stored for use with eBioscience antibodies? What is the recommended storage temperature? How about storage of fixed cells in eBioscience fixation buffers?

We have data demonstrating that fixed cells stored in methanol are stable at -20 degrees C or at -80 degrees C for several weeks. We do not recommend storing fixed cells in eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer. However, cells fixed with eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer or eBioscience Intracellular (IC) fixation buffer can be stored in eBioscience IC fixation buffer for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark.
Note: Please be aware that higher compensation values may be seen with tandem dyes if any other fixative is used apart from eBioscience IC fixation buffer, for 3-day storage.

What is the optimal protocol for eBioscience phosphorylation-specific antibodies?

Each antibody has been tested in three different buffer systems: IC fixation and permeabilization, Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer, and IC fixation Buffer/Methanol. The recommended buffer system(s) will be noted on the Technical Data Sheet for the specific antibody.

What is the best way to maintain surface staining when using the methanol-based protocol?

Because methanol can destroy the epitope recognized by some antibodies, ideally surface staining would be performed at the beginning of the protocol with a methanol-resistant fluorochrome (like eFluor 450, FITC, and eFluor 660).
Please recognize that surface staining before stimulation can have undesired effects due to activation of the cell caused by antibody binding. We recommend staining after stimulation/treatment, fixation, and methanol treatment.

Can I use other buffer systems from other companies when using eBioscience phosphorylation-specific antibodies?

In general, you can use other companies' buffer systems provided that their buffers are of a similar composition as the buffers recommended. Be aware that results will vary depending upon the buffer system used. eBioscience antibodies have been optimized for use in eBioscience buffers and we have not tested all of our antibodies in other buffer systems. Thus, we highly recommend using our optimized protocol and buffer systems.

What are the appropriate controls to run when using eBioscience phosphorylation-specific antibodies?

It is important to understand whether the stimulation/treatment results in an upregulation or a down regulation of the phosphorylation event. Thus, it is recommended that changes in phosphorylation levels in stimulated/treated versus unstimulated/untreated cells be compared. A histogram or density plot overlay these two treatments will provide a better assessment of a change in phosphorylation event than using isotype controls.

Can I perform phosphorylation specific staining and stain for intracellular cytokines at the same time when using eBioscience phosphorylation-specific antibodies?

In theory, if the buffer systems are compatible for the antibodies of interest, this can be done. In practice, cytokine translation and phosphorylation events do not typically occur in the same timeframe, therefore, it may be difficult to detect both events in the same sample. The results will be depended on the kinetics and should be determined for each system and protein of interest.

When using eBioscience phosphorylation-specific antibodies, can I perform phosphorylation specific staining together with transcription factor staining at the same time? If so, what buffer and protocol do I use?

In theory, this can be done if the antibodies against both the transcription factor and the phosphorylated protein work in the same buffer system. For example, Anti-Human/Mouse phsopho-H2AX and all transcription factor eBioscience antibodies offered will work in the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer System (Cat. No. 00-5523-00).

For eBioscience phosphorylation-specific antibodies, can total and phosphorylated protein be analyzed in parallel?

In theory, this can be done if the antibodies to both proteins work in the same buffer system and if the antibodies recognize different epitopes. Please refer to the individual Technical Data Sheets for information about buffer compatibility. Also, consider using eBioscience InstantOne ELISA Kits for immunoassay quantitation of both total and phosphorylated proteins such as AKT1/2/3, JNK1/2/3, NFκB, STAT3, and STAT5.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

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