β actin monoclonal antibody

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

The β-actin monoclonal antibody is a laboratory reagent used to detect the presence and abundance of the β-actin protein in biological samples. β-actin is a highly conserved cytoskeletal protein found in all eukaryotic cells and is commonly used as a loading control in various experimental techniques, such as Western blotting and immunocytochemistry.

We used an SDS buffer (25% of 0.125M Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 20% of glycerol, 4% of SDS, and 10% of 2-mercaptoethanol, with bromophenol blue included) to pellet cell pellets, extract proteins, and degrade DNA by sonication in ice-cold conditions. The protein extracts were separated in Mini-PROTEAN TGX Stain-Free gels (BIO RAD, CA, USA) by electrophoresis (60 mA, 40 min) and transferred to TransBlot Turbo Mini-size PVDF membranes (BIO RAD). The membranes were blocked with Bullet Blocking One (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan). The antibodies we used were as follows: primary antibodies—SHC4 polyclonal antibody (rabbit, 75 kDa) (Sigma-Aldrich, Mizulli, USA) and β-actin monoclonal antibody (rabbit; 45 kDa) (Cell signaling technology, #4790, MA, USA) diluted 1000×, reacted at 4 °C in overnight. The membranes were washed with TBS-T, and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) diluted 5000× was reacted with membrane for 1 h. The membranes were washed with TBS-T three times before being exposed to the ClarityTM Western ECL Substrate (Bio Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) as a chromogenic substrate for HRP. The protein bands were detected using a ChemiDoc MP ImageLab (Bio Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).

The cell culture samples were lysed in modified Radioimmune Precipitation Assay (RIPA) Buffer (Applygen) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). The protein concentrations were measured using the BCA assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A total protein of 10–20 μg from each sample were loaded and subjected to 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and then transferred to PVDF filters (Millipore). Immunoprobing of target proteins were performed by incubating overnight at 4 °C with the primary antibodies against p21 (#10355–1-AP, Proteintech), TCAB1(#14761–1-AP, Proteintech) or ubiquitin (#D058-3, MBL). After rinses, HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies used for western blotting analysis were as follows: anti-rabbit IgG (#3012; Signalway Antibody) and mouse IgG (#3032; Signalway Antibody). The even loading of isolated proteins was verified with β-actin monoclonal antibody (#3700S, Cell Signaling Technology) or GAPDH monoclonal antibody (#10494–1-AP, Proteintech). The blotted filters were visualized for signals using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagents (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
