Description
Product Usage Information
trFluor™ Europium Cryptate conjugated antibodies are ideal for protein-protein interaction assays, pair-based immunoassay technologies, or high-throughput screening where greater sensitivity and quantitative detection is needed. The long fluorescent decay time of Europium Cryptate results in improved signal to background over fluorescent dye conjugates. Methods utilizing Europium Cryptate conjugated antibodies include, but are not limited to, TR-FRET, where Europium Cryptate-labeled donor antibodies are paired with red fluorophore-labeled acceptor antibodies, such as Alexa Fluor ® 647 or APC. Please contact us if you require an acceptor antibody clone conjugated to a red dye at a custom concentration, a carrier-free formulation, or a more customized packaging solution. Note: Addition of potassium fluoride (KF) in the assay dilution buffer range of 40-400 mM is recommended for enhanced fluorescent signal. Optimal dilutions and working concentrations of both the conjugated antibodies and the KF should be determined by the end user.

Specificity / Sensitivity
Ikaros (D6N9Y) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (trFluor™ Europium Cryptate Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total Ikaros protein.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro329 of human Ikaros protein.
Background
The Ikaros family of zinc-finger DNA-binding proteins belongs to the Kruppel transcription factor superfamily. Ikaros proteins are characterized by the presence of an amino-terminal zinc finger DNA-binding domain and a carboxy-terminal dimerization domain. Members of the Ikaros family include Ikaros, Aiolos, Helios, EOS, and Pegasus (1). All family members can form homodimers and heterodimers with other members of the Ikaros family. Most also contain multiple isoforms that are generated as a result of differential splicing, with some isoforms behaving in a dominant negative manner upon dimerization (2). Ikaros (IKZF1, LYF1) is the prototypical Ikaros family zinc-finger transcription factor and is expressed abundantly in lymphoid cells. Genetic studies in mice demonstrate that Ikaros is a tumor suppressor that is important for the normal development of B, T, natural killer, and dendritic cells (3,4). Additional studies show that imbalanced expression of different Ikaros isoforms, as well as mutations in the corresponding gene, can be associated with a number of hematologic malignancies in humans (2,5,6).
