Validation Data Gallery

• 

  FC experiment of Jurkat using CL647-13092

  1X10^6 Jurkat cells were intracellularly stained with 0.2 ug CoraLite® Plus 647 Anti-Human MITF (CL647-13092) (red), or 0.2 ug CL647-30000 Rabbit IgG (blue). Cells were fixed and permeabilized with Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Kit (PF00011).

Tested Applications

• Positive FC (Intra) detected in: Jurkat cells

Recommended dilution

• Flow Cytometry (FC) (INTRA): FC (INTRA) : 0.20 ug per 10^6 cells in a 100 µl suspension

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has a essential role in maintaining visual function and dedifferentiation of RPE contributes to the pathophysiology of several ocular diseases[PMID: 22523078]. Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a key regulator of RPE differentiation that is also down-regulated in dedifferentiated hfRPE cells. MITF is a basic helix-loop-helix (hHLH)-leucine zipper protein that involves in the development of various cell types, including neural crest-derived melanocytes and optic cup-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells [PMID: 10578055].
