Monoclonal antibody against beta actin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Monoclonal antibody against beta-actin is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and quantification of the beta-actin protein, which is a common and widely expressed cytoskeletal protein. This antibody can be used in various techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry, to visualize and analyze the presence and distribution of beta-actin in biological samples.

Protein lysates were prepared in the RIPA buffer (radio immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA). The total protein concentration of the soluble extract was determined using the BCA protein assay Kit (Thermo Scientific). Each protein sample (30ug) was resolved to SDS–PAGE, transferred onto a polyvinylidenedifluoride membrane (Millipore) and incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies. The antibodies used were: ERG (1:2000 Abcam, #ab133264); JUN (1:1000 Santa Cruz, sc-1694X); rabbit anti-FLAG (1:1000 Sigma, F7425); pan-cytokeratin (1:1,000 BioLegend, clone C-11 cat # 628602 and Lot # B181240);α-tubulin (1:1,000 Sigma, #T6199) and GAPDH (1:10,000 Abcam, sb-75834). Following three washes with TBS-T, the blot was incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and immune complexes were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence detection (ECL plus kit, GE Healthcare, UK). The blot was reprobed with monoclonal antibody against beta-actin (1:10,000 Sigma). Total protein was extracted and separated by gel electrophoresis. Protein was then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and probed overnight using the appropriate primary antibodies.

Protein Quantification in Murine Skin

Samples of murine skin were lysed in lysis buffer containing 1% Triton X-100, 1 M Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.5 M EDTA, 2 M NaCl, 10% Na-deoxycholate, 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and glycerol for 30 minutes at room temperature. Proteins were separated by size on 15% polyacrylamide SDS gels (PAGE) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (BioRad, CA, USA) by electroblotting. After the membranes were blocked with 1x Animal-Free Blocker (Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA) for 1 hour, they were incubated overnight with a primary antibody against S100A9 (1 : 5000) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and subsequently incubated with an anti-rat HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1 : 15000) (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA). Signals were developed and visualized using the Clarity Western ECL Substrate (BioRad, CA, USA). The intensity of the protein band was analyzed using the ImageJ software program (version 1.41). Equal loading and transfer of the proteins were assessed using a monoclonal antibody against beta-actin (1 : 1000) (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA).

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.
