ICC: not tested yet
IHC: not tested yet
IHC-P: 1 : 200 (see remarks) gallery  
Clone Rb87E12
Subtype IgG1 (κ light chain)
Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding AA 470 of mouse T-bet (UniProt Id: Q9JKD8)
Reactivity Reacts with: mouse (Q9JKD8).
No signal: human (Q9UL17), rat.
Other species not tested yet.
Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the monoclonal rat antibody clone SY-87E12. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced by rabbit specific sequences. Therefore, the antibody can be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.
IHC-P: Heat-mediated antigen retrieval (Tris/EDTA pH 9.0) is recommended for immunohistochemical staining. The antibody shows some unspecific staining in mouse cerebellum.

Background

T-bet (also known as Tbx21) belongs to the T-box subfamily Tbr1, and is an important transcription factor for the immune system. T-bet is a potent transactivator of the IFNγ gene and its expression correlates with IFNγ expression in Th1 cells, NK cells, and B cells (1). In CD4 T cells, Th1 and Th2 lineage commitment is regulated by opposing actions of T-bet and GATA-3 (2). T-bet promotes CD4 Th1 differentiation and represses alternative cell fates like Th2, or Th17, whereas GATA-3 is the lineage determining transcription factor for Th2 cells (2). CD8+ T cells require T-bet expression to differentiate into effector cells (3). In NK cells, T-bet expression is required for NK cell maturation (4).
