Product name: ROR gamma (t) Monoclonal Antibody (AFKJS-9), eBioscience™
Antibody type: Monoclonal
Antigen: Other
Description: Description: The AFKJS-9 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse, human and rhesus monkey ROR gamma (t) protein. ROR gamma is a member of the retinoic acid-related orphan receptor (ROR) family, which also includes ROR alpha and ROR beta. ROR family proteins are ligand-dependent transcription factors that play roles in multiple physiological processes. ROR gamma is expressed in several tissues including liver, lung, muscle, heart and kidney. Furthermore, it was discovered that alternative transcription results in the expression of an isoform, ROR gamma (t), which is expressed exclusively in cells of the lymphoid compartment, namely CD4+CD8+ "double-positive" thymocytes, Th17 cells of the periphery and lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells of lymphoid organs.
Antibody clone number: AFKJS-9
Concentration: 0.5 mg/mL

Experimental details: Figure 1 Presence and frequency of ILC subtypes within the meninges of severe TBI patients. ( A ) Dura was collected from consecutive, severe TBI patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy to alleviate elevated intracranial pressure. ILCs were sorted using forward scatter (FSC)/side scatter (SSC) and identified as CD45 + , lineage-negative (Lin - ), CD127 + lymphoid cells. ILCs subtypes were further defined as ILC1:, CD45 + Lin - CD127 + CD161 + NKp44 + ; ILC2, CD45 + Lin - CD127 + GATA3 + CRTH2 + ; and ILC3, CD45 + Lin - CD127 + RORgammat + AhR + , as shown in representative flow cytometry scatterplots. Gray shaded areas indicate isotype controls. To demonstrate functionality, ILCs were further stimulated with cytokine cocktails, and production of signature cytokines was assessed (ILC1, IFN-gamma; ILC2, IL-5/IL-13; ILC3, IL-17).

Naive splenic CD4 + T cells (CD4 + CD62L + ) from WT and p70 S6K1 KO mice were activated by plate-bound anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 under either Th1, Th2, or Th17 skewing conditions. (A) Flow cytometry and RT-PCR analyses were performed for retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma T (RORgammaT) using in vitro-differentiated Th17 cells. Following in vitro differentiation, Th17 cells were stimulated with PMA and ionomycin for 4 h, last 2 h with monensin. Stimulated cells were either stained with antibodies against CD4 and RORgammaT and analyzed by flow cytometry (left), or used for total RNA isolation (right). The cDNA was then analyzed by quantitative PCR to measure RORgammaT transcript levels (right). These experiments were first normalized to a housekeeping gene (either beta actin or GAPDH). Then the normalized results were compared to wild-type Th17 cells to determine the fold change. (B) RT-PCR analyses of T-bet (left) and GATA3 (right) levels were done using in vitro-differentiated Th1 and Th2 cells, respectively. The amount of T-bet and GATA3 mRNA expression in WT and KO differentiated cells were normalized first to beta actin, and then the normalized values were compared to wild type to determine the fold change.
