Invitrogen™ T-bet Monoclonal Antibody (eBio4B10 (4B10)), APC, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The eBio4B10 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse and human T-bet. T-bet is a Th1-specific T-box transcription factor critical to the development of the Th1 CD4+ T cell lineage. This is known based on the observations that T-Bet deficient mice have impaired Th1 cell development, and that ectopic expression of T-Bet results in development skewed to the Th1 lineage. T-Bet expression is induced by the Th1 cytokine IFN gamma, and T-Bet also regulates the expression of IFN gamma, likely, at least in part, through the modification of DNA accessibility and histone remodeling. In addition to IFN gamma, T-Bet is also known to regulate the expression of IL-12R beta and IL-2. Moreover, T-Bet plays a role in class-switch recombination in B-cells. Applications Reported: This eBio4B10 (4B10, 4-B10) antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This eBio4B10 (4B10, 4-B10) antibody has been tested by intracellular stainign and flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer Set (cat. 00-5523) and protocol. Please see Best Protocol section; (refer to Protocol B: One step protocol for intracellular (nuclear) proteins). 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.
