eBioscience™ Human Regulatory T Cell Whole Blood Staining Kit (Invitrogen™)

This Human Regulatory T Cell Whole Blood Staining Kit contains the buffers and monoclonal antibody necessary to successfully stain and identify Foxp3 cells in whole blood samples. The PCH101 monoclonal antibody reacts with the amino terminus of human Foxp3 also known as FORKHEAD BOX P3, SCURFIN, and JM2. Foxp3 is a 49-55 kDa protein and a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcription factors. It was identified as the gene responsible for the X-linked lymphoproliferative disease observed in scurfy (sf) mice and in the human disorder, X-linked autoimmunity-allergic dysregulation syndrome (XLAAD). Constitutive expression of Foxp3 mRNA has been shown in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg), and ectopic expression of Foxp3 in CD4+CD25- cells imparts a Treg phenotype in these cells.

The PCH101 antibody crossreacts with rhesus, chimpanzee, and cynomolgus Foxp3 PCH101 recognizes a different epitope of Foxp3 than clones 236A/E7 and 150D/E4.
