The 7H1AA1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Transketolase (TKT), also known as TK or TKT1. TKT is a ~68 kDa ubiquitously expressed enzyme encoded by the TKT gene, which belongs to the transketolase family. Located in the cytoplasm, TKT is a critical thiamine-dependent enzyme involved in the interaction between glycolysis and the non-oxidative branch of the penthose phosphate pathway (PPP) of carbohydrate metabolism, which allows cells to adapt to different metabolic needs. TKT expression within tissues is consequently linked to central metabolic function, making TKT a critical determinant for many biological processes. TKT reportedly plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cancer and may be a promising drug target.
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed.
1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
2. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
4. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
5. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
