Product Specific Information

Description: The MBM7C7 monoclonal antibody reacts with human and mouse BATF (B cell activating transcription factor). BATF is a 14 kDa member of the AP-1 family of transcription factors and is involved in the repression of other AP-1 family members. BATF is upregulated in activated T cells when compared to naive T and B cells and has been shown to be critical for Th17, but not Th1 or Th2 differentiation. In Th17, BATF interacts with the promoters of IL17, IL17F, IL21 and IL22. BATF has also been shown to be involved in CD8 T cell exhaustion in HIV infection.

Applications Reported: This MBM7C7 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This MBM7C7 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of stimulated human peripheral blood cells using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Product # 00-5523-00) and protocol. Please see BestProtocols® Section (Staining intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry) for staining protocol (refer to Protocol B: One-step protocol for intracellular (nuclear) proteins). This can be used at 5 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 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

PerCP-eFluor® 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-822-49) (100 µL cell sample + 100 µL IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333-54) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.

Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 710 nm; Laser: Blue Laser.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Target Information

BATF is a nuclear basic leucine zipper protein that belongs to the AP-1/ATF superfamily of transcription factors. The leucine zipper of this protein mediates dimerization with members of the Jun family of proteins. This protein is thought to be a negative regulator of AP-1/ATF transcriptional events and blocks cellular transformation by Ras and Fos. BATF also is required for the differentiation of IL-17-producing T helper (TH17) cells, a CD4+ subset of T cells that coordinates the inflammatory response in host defense. In both T cells and B cells, BATF is required for the appropriate regulation of the class-switch recombination.
