Specific Information

Description: This erongr2 monoclonal antibody recognizes mouse early growth response 2 (Egr2, Krox-20). Egr2 is a zinc finger-containing transcription factor that is important for the development of T cells and NKT cells. Egr2 is predominantly expressed in the thymus and nervous system, and it is also upregulated in T cells following TCR-crosslinking. Upregulation in all non-adherent mouse splenocytes has been observed following stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin. Egr2 is believed to antagonize T cell activation and has also been reported to promote apoptosis. The erongr2 antibody also appears to modestly stain a subpopulation of T cells and B cells in freshly isolated spleen cells. The erongr2 monoclonal antibody is specific for Egr2 and does not crossreact to Egr3, based on immunoblot analysis.

Applications Reported: This ERONGR2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This ERONGR2 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated mouse splenocytes. This may be used at less than or equal to 0.5 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. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.

Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-8222-49) (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333-57) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.

Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 775 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.
