Goat anti rat af488

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Goat anti-rat AF488 is a fluorescent-labeled secondary antibody used in immunofluorescence applications. It is designed to detect and bind to primary antibodies raised in rat. The AF488 fluorophore attached to the antibody emits green fluorescence when excited, allowing for visualization and detection of target proteins or cells.

Paraffin embedded tissues were deparaffinized using two 100% xylene washes for 5 minutes followed by sequential 3 minute washes in 1:1 xylene:Ethanol, 100%, 95%, 70%, and 50% ethanol. Tissues were then rinsed and placed in a staining box with Tris-EDTA buffer pH 9.0 (10mM Tris Base, 1mM EDTA solution, 0.05% TWEEN®20). Heat induced epitope retrieval was performed at 95°C in a pressure cooker for 25 minutes. After rinsing in 1x TBST buffer (Tris-buffered saline, 0.2% TWEEN®20) slides were blocked with 10% normal goat serum (Thomas Scientific) in PBS for 1 hour. After 1x TBST rinse, staining was performed with rabbit polyclonal HO-1 antibody (Enzo Life Sciences), and rat monoclonal [CI:A3–1] F4/80 antibody (Abcam) 4°C overnight in a humidified chamber. After rinsing, secondary antibodies goat anti-rabbit AF-555 and goat anti-rat AF-488 (Invitrogen), were applied for 2 hours at room temperature in a humidified chamber. Slides were rinsed then sealed with Molecular Probes™ ProLong™ Diamond Antifade Mountant with or without DAPI (Fischer Scientific). Imaging was done on an Olympus IX83P2F microscope equipped with a DP80 camera. Additional images were obtained on an AxioImager A1 microscope (Zeiss) equipped with an AxioCam MRc5.

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.
