Description

eBioscience offers a panel of monoclonal antibodies to different epitopes of human Foxp3, providing useful tools for investigating the complete expression pattern of Foxp3 at the protein level, and discerning the precise subsets of Foxp3+ cells. Other antibodies to human Foxp3 include the recently published PCH101 (cat. 72-5776) and ebio7979 (cat. 14-7979).

The 236A/E7 antibody reacts with human foxp3 protein also known as FORKHEAD BOX P3, SCURFIN, and JM2; cross reactivity of this antibody to other proteins has not been determined. Foxp3, a 49-55 kDa protein, is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcriptional regulators, and was identified as the gene defective in ‘scurfy’ (sf) mice. Constitutive high expression of Foxp3 mRNA has been shown in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg cells), and ectopic expression of foxp3 in CD4+CD25- cells imparts a Treg phenotype in these cells.

Intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of freshly isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with the 236A/E7 antibody using the Foxp3 Staining Buffer Set (cat. 00-5523) and protocol reveals staining of the CD4+CD25^bright population.

The epitope from 236A/E7 is different from that of PCH101 (cat. 72-5776).

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This 236A/E7 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis, immunoblotting (WB), and immunohistological staining of frozen and paraffin-embedded sections. For additional IHC information, please see http://www.ebioscience.com/ebioscience/Foxp3FAQs.htm.
(Fluorochrome or biotin-conjugated 236A/E7 is recommended for use in intracellular flow cytometric analysis.)

Applications Tested

This 236A/E7 antibody has been tested by immunoblotting.
