NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcriptional regulators. Defects in this gene are the cause of immunodeficiency polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX), also known as X-linked autoimmunity-immunodeficiency syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Product Notes
The FOXP3 foxp3 (Catalog #AAA668928) is a Staining Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Foxp3/Transcription Factor can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). Protocol: FoxP3 FITC staining with CD4 PE and CD25 APC antibodies. 1. Determine number of cells required for staining. Each sample contains 0.5 -1 x 10^6 cells in 50ul of media or staining buffer. The following controls are needed for the experiment. Unstained cells (no antibodies were added), cells with isotype control and cells with secondary antibody (if secondary antibody was used). 2. Centrifuge cells at 1000 RPM for 10 minutes and decant supernatant. 3. Resuspend cells with appropriate volume of staining buffer. 4. Aliquote 1x10^6 cells in 50 ul to the desired number of flow tubes. Dilute anti-CD4 PE, anti-CD25 APC cell surface antibodies in 50 ul of 1X staining buffer. Add diluted antibodies into 50 ul of cell suspension. Mix antibodies in cells suspension thoroughly. 5. Incubate in ice for 30 minutes in ice pritected from light. Wash cells in 2-3 ml of 1X staining buffer. Centrifuge 1000 RPM for 10 minutes. Decant supernatant carefully. 6. Add 1ml of freshly prepared 1X fixation/permeabilization buffer. Mix well. 7. Incubate in ice for 30 minutes protected from light. 8. Whsh cells in 3-4 ml of 1X permeabilization buffer. Centrifuge at 1000 RPM for 10 minutes. Decant supernatant carefully. 9. Add 2% mouse serum to the cells in 50 ul of 1X permeabilization buffer (for blocking non-specific binding). Incubate 10 minutes in ice. (Optional) 10. Add fluorochrome conjugated Anti-FoxP3 antibody or isotype control in 50 ul of 1X permeabilization buffer. (Without washing blocking step). 11. Incubate in ice for 30 minutes, protected from light. Wash cells 3-4 ml of 1X permeabilization buffer. Centrifuge 1000 RPM for 10 minutes. Decant supernatant carefully. 11. After decanting, add 300-400ul of staining buffer to each tube. If not analyzing same day, samples can be stored over night in dark at 4 degrees C. Samples can be analyzed in Flow Cytometer according to the manufacturer protocol. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FOXP3 foxp3 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Foxp3/Transcription Factor, Staining Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
