DRAQ5, an anthraquinone dye with high affinity for double-stranded DNA, is a membrane-permeable dye that can label live or fixed/dead cells. The dye is used to distinguish nucleated and non-nucleated cells in flow cytometry, to report nuclear DNA content for ploidy and cell cycle analysis and as a nuclear counterstain nuclei in fluorescent microscopy.DRAQ5 can be excited by wavelengths from 488 to 647 nm. For microscopy/imagin…
The mouse Th17 Cytokine Staining Panel includes all reagents needed for simultaneous flow cytometric detection of all the major cytokines produced by the Th17 lineage: IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22. An anti-CD4 antibody that can be used after fixation and permeabilization and IC Fixation and Permeabilization Buffers are also included.CD4+ T helper cells are critical mediators of the cellular immune response. Th17 is subset o…

The Cell Stimulation Cocktail (500X), a cocktail of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin is sufficient to induce activation of many cell types to produce cytokines. This cocktail can be used to induce cytokine production in in vitro cell culture for subsequent detection in immunoassays. It can also be used in conjunction with the Protein Transport Inhibitor Cocktail (500X) (cat. 00-4980) for intracellular retent…
The Cell Stimulation Cocktail (plus protein transport inhibitors) (500X) is a cocktail of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), ionomycin, brefeldin A and monensin. PMA and ionomycin treatment can induce activation of many cell types to produce cytokines. Brefeldin A and Monensin result in the accumulation of secreted proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. The Cell Stimulation Cocktail (plus protein transp…
The Lipoploysaccharide (LPS) Solution (500X) is a ready-to-use solution of LPS from Escherichia coli 026:B6 in aqueous solution. LPS is highly immunogenic and strongly activates immune cells bearing the CD14/TLR4/MD2 receptor complex. This reagent is intended for use in in vitro culture of B cells, monocytes, macrophages and other cells that are responsive to LPS.
The Phytohemagglutinin-L (PHA-L) Solution (500X) is a ready-to-use solution of PHA-L in aqueous buffer. PHA is a mixture of lectins isolated from the red kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris. PHA-L is the fraction of PHA that exhibits strong leukoagglutinating and mitogenic activity, but very little erythroagglutinating activity. This reagent is intended for use in in vitro activation of human and mouse leukocytes.
The Concanavalin A (Con A) Solution (500X) is a ready-to-use solution of Con A in aqueous buffer. Con A, isolated from the Jack bean, Canavlia ensiformis, is a lectin that binds alpha-D-glucose and alpha-D-mannose moieties found in various glycoproteins, glycolipids, and sugars and is a potent leukocyte mitogen. This reagent is intended for use in in vitro activation of human and mouse leukocytes.
The Protein Transport Inhibitor Cocktail (500X), a cocktail of Brefeldin A and Monensin, is used for assays in which prevention of protein transport to the extracellular space is desired and has been specifically formulated for use as a negative control for the Cell Stimulation Cocktail (plus protein transport inhibitors) (500X) (cat. 00-4975). Addition of this cocktail to cells in culture inhibits the intracellular protein se…
The Foxp3 Transcription Factor Fixation/Permeabilization Concentrate and Diluent solutions are used for staining with antibodies to transcription factors and nuclear proteins, such as Foxp3 and Ki-67, as well as cytokines and chemokines. It should be used in combination with the Permeabilization Buffer (10X) (cat. # 00-8333).
