Alexa fluorophore conjugated antibodies

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Alexa-fluorophore conjugated antibodies are a type of labeling reagent used in various biological and biochemical applications. These antibodies are conjugated with Alexa fluorophores, which are a class of bright, photostable, and pH-insensitive fluorescent dyes. The core function of these labeled antibodies is to serve as detection agents, allowing the visualization and quantification of target molecules in various experimental techniques, such as immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and Western blotting.

Free-floating sections were washed 3 times for 10 minutes with TBS with 0.2% Triton X-100 (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) and blocked in 5% Normal Goat Serum (NGS; Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) with 0.2% Triton X-100 in TBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Primary antibodies (see table below) were diluted in 5% NGS in TBS with 0.2% Triton X-100. Sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies and washed three times for 10 minutes with TBS the following morning. Secondary Alexa-fluorophore conjugated antibodies (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were diluted (1:200) in 5% NGS in TBS with 0.2% Triton X-100, and sections were incubated with secondary antibodies for 2 hours at room temperature, protected from light. After incubation, sections were washed three times for 15 minutes in TBS and mounted with VECTASHIELD with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Images were acquired on an Olympus FV3000 confocal laser-scanning microscope.

Mice under deep anesthesia were perfused with 50 ml PBS following 50 ml 4% PFA/1 PBS solution. After dissection, isolated brains were post-fixed in 4% PFA/1 PBS solution over night at 4 °C. 40 μm sagittal brain sections were cut using a Vibratom (Leica VT 1200 S). Free-floating sections were permeabilized in Tris-buffered saline solution with 0.1M Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.4/0.5% Triton-X 100/0.1% Na-Azide/0.1% Na-Citrate/5% normal goat serum (TBS+/+/+) for at least 1 h. The primary antibodies anti-Hu Nuclei (1:200; Millipore), anti-DCX (1:400; Abcam), anti-TuJ1 (1:600; Covance) and anti-GFAP (1:100; Millipore) were diluted in TBS+/+/+ and incubated for 48 h on a shaker at 4 °C.

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.
