Biotinylated antibody

Manufactured by Vector Laboratories
Sourced in United States

Biotinylated antibodies are antibodies that have been chemically modified to include a biotin molecule. Biotin is a small vitamin molecule that can bind strongly to the protein streptavidin. This allows biotinylated antibodies to be easily detected or captured using streptavidin-based detection systems.

Tumors were excised, frozen in OCT and stored in −80 °C. 10 μm cryo-sections were done and stained for F4/80. Sections were washed several times in PBS, and blocked with a PBS/0.4% Triton X-100/0.5% TSA (Tyramide Signal Amplification, Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, Boston, MA) blocking reagent/10% normal horse serum for 1 hour. Sections were then serially incubated with a rabbit anti-mouse F4/80 antibody (1:500; cat# 122604, Biolegend San Diego, CA) at 4°C for 24 h, and then washed in PBS six times for 5 min each wash. Sections were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour in biotinylated antibody (1:400, Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA) in a PBS/0.4% TSA blocking reagent/10% horse serum solution, and then with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase diluted 1:100 in PBS/0.5% TSA blocking reagent. Subsequently, the sections were incubated with TSA fluorescein reagents diluted 1:50 in amplification diluent (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences) for 2 min. Sections were then washed and mounted onto glass slides. Sections were visualized using a fluorescent microscope by an investigator who was blinded to the sample source.

Paraffin blocks were sliced to a thickness of 4 μm and attached to a silane-coated slide (Muto Pure Chemicals Co., Ltd., Japan). Each procedure was performed according to the ABC kit protocol (Vector Laboratories, USA). After deparaffinization and rehydration, slides were boiled in 0.1 M sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) in a microwave oven for antigen retrieval. After cooling the slides to room temperature, 3% H2O2 in methanol was used to block the endogenous peroxidase activity. To suppress non-specific reactions, blocking serum (Vector Laboratories) was applied to the tissue. PCNA antibody (Abcam, ab92552, diluted 1:200), prosurfactant protein C (SPC, Abcam, ab90716, diluted 1:1000), and ubiquitin antibody (CC10, Abcam, ab213203, diluted 1:4000) were used as the primary antibodies. Biotinylated antibody (Vector Laboratories, USA) was used as a secondary antibody. It was then detected using the DAB Peroxidase Substrate Kit (Vector Laboratories, USA). All the slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Gill III hematoxylin, Thermo, USA).

IF (immunofluorescence) and IHC (immunohistochemical) staining were performed as previously described [28 (link)]. The fish gonads were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS at 4°C for 16 hours. The rehydrated slides were treated with HistoVT One (Nacalai tesque, Kyoto, Japan) to expose the antigens of the target protein. Anti-Vasa (1:1000 dilution; our own antibody) [28 (link)], anti-Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Pcna; 1:250 dilution; product no. sc-7907; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Billerica, MA, USA), anti-Brdu (1:1000 dilution; product no. MAB4072; Merk Millipore), and anti-Amh (1:1000; present study) were used for IHC and IF staining. For IHC staining, each section was rehydrated in PBS and incubated with 3% H2O2 in PBS. The section was then incubated with 5% nonfat milk powder for 30 min with antibody overnight at 4°C. This was followed by incubation with an appropriate biotinylated antibody (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA). Color formation was amplified with an ABC kit (avidin-biotin, Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA) and DAB (3,3’-diaminobenzidine, Sigma). For IF staining, the section was then incubated with 5% nonfat milk powder for 30 min with antibody overnight at 4°C. Alexa Fluor secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were used. All staining was conducted with triplicate sections for each tissue (n > 3 fish in each group).

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.
