APPLICATION NOTES FOR AB5894

IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY

Male Sprague-Dawley rats (b.wt. 100-150g) were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and perfused via the ascending aorta with: 1) 50 mL of Ca2+-free Tyrode+s solution followed by 2) a formalin-picric acid fixative (4% paraformaldehyde with 0.4% picric acid in 0.16 M phosphate buffer, pH 6.9) and 3) 10% sucrose in PBS as a cryo-protectant. Tissues were rapidly dissected out and stored overnight in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 10% sucrose. Slide-mounted tissue sections were incubated with blocking buffer for 1 hour at room temperature. Primary antibody was diluted in blocking buffer to the appropriate working dilution. Blocking buffer was removed and the slides were then incubated at 2-8°C for 18-24 hours with AB5894 (1:500). After rinsing in PBS 3 times sections were incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature with Cy3-conjugated secondary antibodies. After mounting in a mixture of PBS and glycerol (1:3) containing 0.1% p-phenylenediamine, sections were examined with a Nikon Microphot-SA epifluorescence microscope.

IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRYP

2X2 transfected cells were processed for indirect immunofluorescence. Media was removed and cells were gently washed 3 times with serum-free media. Following fixation procedure, cells were processed for indirect immunofluorescence as above

WESTERN BLOTTING

Cell membrane extracts were examined by electrophoresis (8% acrylamide) with SDS under reducing conditions and transferred to a nylon membrane. Membranes were blocked for 1 hour at 2-8°C with 0.1% Tween 20 and 2.5% milk powder (w/v) in PBS. Membranes were incubated with AB5894 diluted 1:500 with same buffer overnight at 2-8°C. Membranes were rinsed and incubated with HRP conjugated secondary antibody for 1 hour at room temperature. Following rinsing the membranes were processed using enhanced chemiluminescence.
