WB Validation

Over-expression/cross reactivity

TOX antibody WB Validation: Over-expression/cross reactivity — To confirm the lack of cross-reactivity with the other TOX family members, western blotting (WB) using the UYSY20 mAb was performed on cell extracts of MYC-FLAG tagged human TOX, MYC-tagged TOX2 and GFP-tagged TOX3 and TOX4 transfected HEK293T cells. Two bands of 68 kDa and 57 kDa were detected in the HEK-TOX cell extracts while no expression was found in the HEK-TOX2, HEK-TOX3 and HEK-TOX4 extracts. Anti-GAPDH was used as loading control.

Gene inactivation

TOX antibody WB Validation: Gene inactivation — The specificity of the UYSY20 mAb for endogenous TOX protein was confirmed by WB using cell extracts of the MOLT4 cell line before and after TOX gene inactivation (MOLT4 KO TOX) using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Anti-GAPDH was used as loading control.

WB Characterisation

Endogenous expression

TOX antibody WB Characterisation: Endogenous expression — WB using the UYSY20 mAb to confirm endogenous expression of TOX showed bands of 63 kDa and 57 kDa of TOX protein in the SUDHL4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells. TOX was not expressed in the U266 myeloma cell line. Anti-GAPDH was used as loading control.

ICC / ICC-P Validation

Over-expression/cross reactivity

TOX antibody ICC Validation: Over-expression/cross reactivity — To confirm the lack of cross-reactivity with the other TOX family members, immunohistochemistry (ICC) with the UYSY20 mAb was performed on frozen cytospin preparations of MYC-FLAG tagged human TOX, MYC-tagged TOX2 and GFP-tagged TOX3 and TOX4 proteins expressed in HEK293T cells. Labelling with the anti-MYC and anti-GFP confirmed the efficiency of transfection.

IHC-P Characterisation

Endogenous expression

TOX antibody IHC-P Characterisation: Endogenous expression — Single immunoperoxidase labeling in tonsil of the UYSY20 mAb shows strong nuclear staining of TOX in germinal centre cells and cells in the interfollicular area. (B) TOX is also highly expressed by cells in the thymic cortex. (C) In spleen, TOX is expressed by scattered cells in the white and red pulp.

IF Characterisation

Endogenous expression

TOX antibody IF Characterisation: Endogenous expression — Triple immunofluorescence staining of human paraffin embedded tonsil using the UYSY20 mAb (green) with anti-CD20 (red) and anti-CD3 (white).

FC Validation

Over-expression/cross reactivity

TOX antibody FC Validation: Over-expression/cross reactivity — To confirm the lack of cross-reactivity with other TOX family members, flow cytometry was performed using the UYSY20 mAb on HEK293T cells transfected with human TOX (light blue), TOX2 (pink), TOX3 (purple), and TOX4 (light blue) plasmid vectors. Control experiments using only the secondary antibody showed no staining for HEK293T TOX (dashed blue line), TOX2 (dashed pink line), TOX3 (purple line), and TOX4 (dashed light blue line).

Gene inactivation

TOX antibody FC Validation: Gene inactivation — The specificity of the UYSY20 mAb for detecting endogenous TOX protein was confirmed by flow cytometry using a MOLT4 cell line before (blue) and after TOX gene inactivation (MOLT4 KO TOX, pink) using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Control experiments using only the secondary antibody showed no staining for MOLT4 KO TOX (dashed pink line) and MOLT4 (dashed blue line).

FC Characterisation

Endogenous expression

TOX antibody FC Characterisation: Endogenous expression — Flow cytometry using the UYSY20 mAb shows endogenous TOX protein in the MOLT4 cells (blue) but not in the U266 cells (pink). Control experiments using only the secondary antibody showed no staining for U266 (dashed pink line) and MOLT4 (dashed blue line).
