Description: This 22F6 monoclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse and canine Helios. Helios is a zinc-finger transcription factor first identified for its similarity to Ikaros. It is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells in both the embryo and adult mice. While the highest expression is found in regulatory T cells, Helios is not expressed in mature B cells, dendritic cells or myeloid cells. Helios can form a homodimer as well as heterodimerize with other Ikaros family members to regulate transcription. Eight isoforms of Helios exist, some of which possess a dominant-negative function that has also been found to be upregulated in lymphoid malignancies, including T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

22F6 has been reported to cross react with rat Helios.

Applications Reported: This 22F6 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This 22F6 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis of mouse lymph node cells using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (Product # 00-5523-00) and protocol. Please refer to "Staining Intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry, Protocol B: One step protocol for intracellular (nuclear) proteins" located at Flow Protocols. This may 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.

Brilliant Violet™ 480 (BV480) is a dye that emits at 479 nm and is intended for use on cytometers equipped with a violet (405 nm) laser. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

When using two or more Super Bright, Brilliant Violet™, Brilliant Ultra Violet™, or other polymer dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Product # SB-4401-42) or Brilliant Stain Buffer™ (Product # 00-4409-75) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions. Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer or Brilliant Stain Buffer for more information.

Our internal testing suggests that Brilliant Violet™ 480 (BV480) is not compatible with methanol-based fixation.

Excitation: 440 nm; Emission: 479 nm; Laser: Violet Laser.
