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 important for thymic development and Th2 differentiation. Expression during embryonic development is found in the central nervous system, skin, mammary glands and kidney. During development, the expression of Gata-3 is essential as homozygous knock-out of Gata-3 is embryonic lethal. The Gata-3 is also essential for T cell commitment and survival. In the thymus, expression is found mainly on the CD4 single positive cells. During Th2 differentiation, Gata-3 binds to the IL-4 promoter as well as represses the expression of T-bet, thus inhibiting 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 45 kDa) of the protein.

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

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.

NOTE: eBioscience is in the process of replacing Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated antibodies with eFluor® 660-conjugated antibodies. This Alexa Fluor® 647 product will only be available for a limited time. For more information on the replacement of our Alexa Fluor® 647 products with eFluor® 660, click here.

Applications Tested

This TWAJ antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining using Foxp3 buffers and flow cytometric analysis of mouse thymocytes. This can be used at 20 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 10⁵ to 10⁸ cells/test.
