About EOMES
This gene belongs to the TBR1 (T-box brain protein 1) sub-family of T-box genes that share the common DNA-binding T-box domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor which is crucial for embryonic development of mesoderm and the central nervous system in vertebrates. The protein may also be necessary for the differentiation of effector CD8+ T cells which are involved in defense against viral infections. A similar gene disrupted in mice is shown to be essential during trophoblast development and gastrulation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

About PE-eFluor 610
PE-eFluor™ 610 (PE-eF610, RPE-eF610) from Thermo Fisher Scientific is an orange-emitting tandem fluorophore that combines pycoerythrin (PE) and eFluor™ 610. The donor molecule, PE can be excited by the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser and and transfers energy to the acceptor molecule, eF610, which emitts light that can be captured with a 610/20 nm bandpass filter. PE-eF610 has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 607 nm, and is suitable alternative to PE-Texas Red®. PE-eF610 is mainly used for flow cytometry. This tandem is often a great option because of PE is excitable by multiple lasers due to its broad excitation spectrum and the eFluor™ 610 acceptor molecule emits brightly in the Orange/Red spectrum. Many cytometers are commonly set up with the 610/20 bandpass filter that can detect this fluorophore's emission. This dye is part of the larger eFluor™ dye family, developed by eBioscience which is now part of ThermoFisher Scientific.
