S-16a_Treg-Protector_Block_1_020215
A C57BL/6 mouse was injected (i.v.) with 50 µg of Treg-Protector™ 15 minutes before harvesting the spleen to isolate lymphocytes (top). The same procedure was done with a control mouse that only received PBS (bottom). The cells obtained from each mouse were incubated for one hour at 37°C and then were stained with CD3 Brilliant Violet 605™, CD4 FITC, CD25 PE/Dazzle™ 594, and Annexin V Brilliant Violet 421™. Data shown was gated on the CD3+, and CD4+ population. Note the higher frequency of live Tregs (CD4+, CD25+, and Annexin V- T cells) in the mouse that was treated with Treg-Protector™ (top).

Description

ARTC2, also known as ART2.2, is a 35 kD, GPI-anchored, and cell surface ADP-ribosyltransferase that is highly expressed by regulatory T cells (Tregs) and natural killer T (NKT) cells. ARTC2 is enzymatically active at 4°C. Through the ribosylation of the ion channel P2X7, ARTC2 mediates NAD+-induced cell death (NICD) and the proteolytic shedding of CD27 and CD62L. Blocking the activity ARTC2 with Treg-Protector™ improves the recovery of Tregs and NKT cells during their isolation from lymphatic and peripheral tissues.

Product Details

Verified Reactivity
Mouse
Antibody Type
Recombinant
Immunogen
Expression vector encoding full length mouse ARTC2.
Formulation
1 mg/mL S+16a Nanobody in PBS. Purity ≥ 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin Level
Less than 0.01 ng of endotoxin/µg of protein, as determined by the LAL method.
Preparation
Treg-Protector ™ is sterilized by filtration through a 0.22 µm membrane and contains no preservatives.
Concentration
1.0 mg/ml
Storage & Handling
Store between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze. Keep sterile.
Application

Block - Quality tested
Recommended Usage

We recommend diluting Treg-Protector™ 1:4 with sterile PBS and administer 200 µL (50 µg) intravenously (i.v.) of diluted Treg-Protector™ per mouse. Euthanize the mouse and begin the cell preparation 15 - 60 minutes after the injection. Intraperitoneal (IP) injection is also effective at similar doses (validated by developer).

Application Notes

Treg-Protector™ (S+16a Nanobody) is a recombinant llama VH Ig domain that binds to the ADP-ribosyltransferase ARTC2, which reversibly blocks its enzymatic activity and protects ARTC2+ cells from NAD+-induced cell death (NICD), which is caused by the release of NAD+ by cells that die during the preparation of primary lymphocytes. The S+16a nanobody has been demonstrated to protect a variety of cell types including Tregs, NKT cells, and tissue-resident memory T cells8.
