Anti apaf 1

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Anti-Apaf-1 is a primary antibody that binds to Apaf-1, a protein involved in the regulation of apoptosis (programmed cell death). This antibody can be used in various laboratory techniques, such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry, to detect and study the expression and distribution of Apaf-1 in different cell types and tissues.

The tissues and cells were smashed and homogenized with RIPA (Beyotime). After centrifugation, the supernatant containing protein was collected. Protein concentrations were measured by using the BCA protein concentration Kit (Beyotime). After 50 μg protein was denatured at 100˚C for 10 minutes, SDS‐PAGE electrophoresis was performed for protein separation, and then, the protein was transferred to PVDF membrane. The PVDF membrane was blocked by 5% skim milk for 1 hour and then incubated with specific primary antibodies, including anti‐APAF‐1 (1:1000; Abcam), anti‐cleaved caspase‐9 (1:1000; Abcam), anti‐cleaved caspase‐3 (1:1000; Abcam) and anti‐GAPDH (1:1000; Zhongshan Jinqiao Biotechnology), at 4°C overnight. The PVDF membrane was incubated with horseradish peroxidase labelled as goat anti‐rabbit or goat anti‐mouse immunoglobulin G (1:4000; EarthOx) at room temperature for 30 minutes. Detection of protein band was performed by using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) for Western blotting kit (Beyotime) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Relative densitometry was calculated by using Image J2x analysis software.

Samples of tissues and cultured cells were lysed in RIPA sample buffer and centrifuged at 12 000 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant fraction was collected, and the protein concentration was determined by a BCA assay (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). Proteins were fractionized on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membranes were blocked for 1 h, followed by an overnight incubation at 4°C with antibodies. After washes, membranes were incubated at room temperature for 1 h with the appropriate secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase and detected with an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA, USA). The intensity of each band was scanned and quantified using BandScan software (Glyko Inc., Novato, CA, USA). The following antibodies were used: anti-Apaf-1 (rabbit, 1 : 500, Abcam, ab32372, Cambridge, MA, USA) and anti-cleaved caspase-3 (rabbit, 1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology Inc., 9661).

Tissue proteins were obtained using RIPA lysis buffer (Biosharp). Protein concentrations were quantified by the Pierce Bicinchoninic Acid Protein Assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The proteins were transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride membrane after being separated with a 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel and sealed in 5% skim milk and then incubated with primary antibody at 4°C overnight. All the primary antibodies we used were as follows: anti-APAF1 (1:2000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-clv-caspase-3 (1:2000; Abcam), anti-pro-caspase-3 (1:2000; Abcam), anti-N-GSDME (1:2000; Abcam), and anti- GAPDH (1:1000, Abcam). The membranes were then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:5000; Abcam) for 1 h. The bands were examined using Tanon 5200 Automatic chemiluminescence image analysis system (Shanghai, China). Enhanced chemiluminescence solution was applied for color development to observe images.

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.
