Characteristics
The 13-11 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Troponin T type 2 (cardiac), encoded by the gene TNNT2. Troponin T is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex, which also encompasses troponin C and troponin I. This complex regulates muscle contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscle in response to alterations in calcium levels. Troponin T type 2 is solely found in the heart, and genetic alterations in the TNNT2 gene are associated to a series of heart disorders in humans, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular noncompaction. Cardiac Troponin T can be used as a marker for the identification of cardiomyocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells. Flow cytometric analysis of Cardiac Troponin T in human cardiomyocytes differentiated in vitro. Human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (Evans lab, UCSD) were disassociated and fixed in BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I (Cat. No. 557885). The cells were stained with either PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554680, dashed line) or PE Mouse Anti-Cardiac Troponin T (solid line). The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSR Fortessa™ flow cytometry system. Flow cytometric analysis of Cardiac Troponin T in mouse cardiomyocytes differentiated in vitro. The C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line (ATCC CRL-1772) was cultured for 5 days in low-serum conditions for induction of cell differentiation, fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer, and permeabilized with BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were stained with either PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (dashed line) or PE Mouse Anti-Cardiac Troponin T (solid line). The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCanto™ II flow cytometry system. 564767 Rev. 1 Page 1 of 2
