Alexa 488 labeled donkey anti mouse igg

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Alexa-488 labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG is a secondary antibody used in immunoassays and immunochemical procedures. It binds to mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) and is conjugated with the fluorescent dye Alexa Fluor 488, which can be detected using appropriate instrumentation.

HUVEC were harvested after light trypsinization, washed in cold PBS, suspended in 1 ml cold blocking buffer (PBS/1% FBS) that contained 1 ug first antibody [8G4, mouse anti-human E-selectin antibody (IgG1 subtype) from Novus (Littleton, CO), or mouse IgG1], and incubated on ice for 1h with occasional agitation. Cells were then centrifuged (500xg, 5 min), washed 3x with cold PBS, incubated with 100 ng/ml second antibody (Alexa-488 labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG, Life Technology), and washed 3x with cold PBS. Cell suspensions were analyzed with FACScan (Becton Dickinson, San Jose CA). 104 events were collected for each analysis. All flow cytometry histograms were representative selections from at least three separate experiments

Briefly, 1×106 cells were washed in ice cold PBS, suspended in 1 ml cold blocking buffer (PBS/1% FBS) that contained 1 ug 1st antibody (8G4 or migG), and incubated on ice for 1h with occasional agitation. Cells were centrifuged (500 × g for 5 min), washed 3× with cold PBS, incubated with 100 ng/ml 2nd antibody (Alexa-488 labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG, Life Technology), and washed 3× with cold PBS. Cell suspensions were analyzed with FACScan (Becton Dickinson, San Jose CA). 104 events were collected for each analysis.
HUVEC migration and Matrigel tube assays were performed as previously described [7 (link),8 (link)]. Antibody affinity was determined with a binding titration assay using HUVEC and flow cytometry [13 (link)], an approach that is useful for determining affinity with cell-surface antigens and desirable in our case because, lacking recombinant TM4SF1 protein, we could not perform ELISA.

The sections were gently washed in PBST for 3 times and blocked with 5% fetal horse serum diluted in PBST for 1.5 h at room temperature, followed by treatment with a cocktail of 2 antibodies from anti-p-Erk1/2 (1:300, Cell Signaling), anti-p-p38 (1:300, Cell Signaling), anti-NeuN (1:2000, Millipore), anti-CD11b (1:1000, Serotec), and anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; 1:1000, BD Bioscience) antibodies for 20 h at room temperature. The sections were then treated with Alexa® 488-labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG and Alexa® 568-labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG (1:200, Invitrogen) cocktails for 3 h at room temperature in the dark. Exposure to light was reduced to minimum after mounting and coverslip, antifade reagent (ProLong® Gold, Invitrogen) was used to maintain fluorescence until microscopy. To assess the pERK and pp38 expression level in the microglia and astrocyte, the intensity of pERK and pp38 were measured on a fluorescent microscopic picture of 400× magnifications. Region of interest (ROI) in the hippocampus were drawn along the CD11b-positive microglia and GFAP-positive astrocyte. Intensity of each ROI was measured by Fluoview 10 (Olympus, Japan).

Identical samples to those used for histological examinations were employed. For antigen retrieval, sections were soaked in 10 mM citric acid (pH 6) at 95 C for 20 min. After permeabilization with 0.2% Triton-X in PBS and blocking with 1% bovine serum albumin in PBS, the sections were incubated overnight at 4 C with primary antibodies, 1:500 dilution of a mouse monoclonal anti-asmooth muscle actin (SMA) (Dako, M0851, Carpinteria, California) and 1:200 dilution of a rabbit monoclonal anti-vimentin (Cell Signaling, D21H3, Danvers, MA). The sections were then incubated for 1 h at 25 C with the following secondary antibodies: 1:500 dilution of Alexa 488-labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and 1:500 dilution of Alexa 568-labeled donkey antirabbit IgG (Invitrogen). Cell nuclei were counterstained with 4',6diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI, Invitrogen). Omission of the primary antibodies served as a negative control.

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.
