Description

The monoclonal antibody TWAJ recognizes mouse and human Gata-3, a member of the Gata family of transcription factors. Gata-3 is a T cell specific transcription factor shown to be important for thymic development and Th2 differentiation. Expression during embryonic development is found in the central nervous system, skin, mammary glands and kidney. It’s expression is critical as Gata-3 knock-out mice survive to only day 11.5. It’s role in thymic development is essential for T cell commitment and survival. In the thymus expression is found mainly on the CD4 single positive cells. In Th2 differentiation Gata-3 binds the IL-4 promoter and the presence of Gata-3 represses T-bet expression, and hence Th1 differentiation.

Alternative splice variants have been reported especially in the MCF7 cell line. The TWAJ anti-mouse/human Gata-3 antibody will recognize both forms (50 and 45kDa) of the protein.

Staining with the TWAJ anti-mouse/human Gata-3 antibody requires the use of the Foxp3 buffers.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This TWAJ antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis.
The use of Foxp3 buffers for staining is CRITCAL.

Applications Tested

This TWAJ antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining usign Foxp3 buffers and flow cytometric analysis of mouse thymocytes. This can be used at 20 μl (0.125 μg) per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume.
