Description

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The B2D monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse ROR gamma (t) protein. RORgamma is a member of the retinoic acid-related orphan receptor (ROR) family, which also includes ROR alpha and ROR beta. ROR family proteins are ligand-dependent transcription factors that play roles in multiple physiological processes. ROR gamma is expressed in several tissues including liver, lung, muscle, heart and kidney. Furthermore, it was discovered that alternative transcription results in the expression of an isoform, ROR gamma t, which is expressed exclusively in cells of the lymphoid compartment, namely CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymoyctes, Th17 cells of the periphery and lymphoid tissue inducer (Lti) cells of lymphoid organs. The ROR gamma t isoform differs from RORgamma by three unique amino acids at the amino terminus. Therefore, the B2D antibody will react with both the ROR gamma and ROR gamma t isoforms. Applications Reported: This B2D antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This B2D antibody has been tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of mouse thymocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 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.

ROR gamma, a NR1 Thyroid Hormone-Like receptor, has been shown to affect thymopoiesis, bone metabolism, T-cell apoptosis, and lymphoid organogenesis. ROR gamma has been shown to promote thymocyte survival by activating the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-x(L). ROR gamma is also required for the development of lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. It has been shown that ROR gamma(t), a thymus-specific isoform of ROR gamma from mouse, inhibits Fas ligand expression and cytokine secretion in immature thymocytes. ROR gamma binds as a monomer to response elements composed of a single core motif, GGTCA, preceded by a 6 bp AT-rich sequence. ROR gamma expression has been documented in mouse thymus, adipose, bone, skeletal muscle, liver, and kidney, and in human skeletal muscle. ESTs have been isolated from human tissue libraries, including cancerous head/neck, germ cell, and prostate, and normal colon, head/neck, lung, liver/spleen, and pancreas. ROR gammat t (RORgt) is an isoform of RORC.

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).

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.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

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