Product name: Gata-3 Monoclonal Antibody (TWAJ), Alexa Fluor™ 488, eBioscience™
Antibody type: Monoclonal
Antigen: Other
Description: 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 Human/Mouse Gata-3 antibody will recognize both forms (50 and 45 kDa) of the protein. Staining with the TWAJ Human/Mouse Gata-3 antibody requires the use of the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set.(Product # 00-5523-00) Crossreactivity in rhesus monkeys has been published. Applications Reported: This TWAJ antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This TWAJ antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of mouse thymocytes using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (Product # 00-5523) and protocol. Please refer to Best Protocols: Protocol B: One step protocol for (nuclear) intracellular proteins located under the Resources Tab online. 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. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Experimental details: Immunofluorescence analysis of GATA-3 was performed using 70% confluent log phase MCF7 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 15 minutes, and blocked with 1% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with GATA-3 Monoclonal Antibody (TWAJ), Alexa Fluor 488, (Product # 53-9966-41) at 1:250 dilution in 0.1% BSA, incubated at 4 degree Celsius overnight (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # S36938). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300). Panel d represents the merged image showing nuclear localization. Panel e represents Isotype control cells to assess background. The images were captured at 60X magnification.

Experimental details: Knockdown of GATA-3 was achieved by transfecting MCF7 cells with GATA-3 specific siRNAs (Silencer® select Product # s5600; s5599). Immunofluorescence analysis was performed using untransfected MCF7 (panels a, d), transfected with non-specific scrambled siRNA (panels b,e) and transfected with GATA-3 specific siRNAs (panel c,f). The cells were labeled with GATA-3 Monoclonal Antibody (TWAJ), Alexa Fluor 488, (Product # 53-9966-41) at 1:250 dilution in 0.1% BSA, incubated at 4 degree Celsius overnight (Panel a: green). Nuclei (blue) were stained using ProLong™ Diamond Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # P36962) and Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300) was used for cytoskeletal F-actin (red) staining. Reduction of GATA-3 expression was observed upon siRNA mediated knockdown (panel c,f), confirming the specificity of the antibody to GATA-3. The images were captured at 60X magnification.
