Anti pten

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom, China

Anti-PTEN is a primary antibody used to detect the PTEN (Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog) protein. PTEN is a tumor suppressor that regulates cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The Anti-PTEN antibody can be used in various applications, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence, to study the expression and localization of PTEN in biological samples.

For biopsy samples, previous clinical renal biopsy reports were reviewed to identify biopsies from normal kidney donors (3 cases) and those with the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (4 cases). Tissue sections from these biopsies were subjected to double immunofluorescent staining for PTEN and nephrin.
For the animal model, kidney sections or isolated glomeruli were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, subsequently incubated with corresponding Alexa-fluor secondary antibodies (Life Technologies) for 30 min at room temperature. The following antibodies were used: anti-PTEN (Cell Signaling, Cambridge, MA), anti-WT1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), anti-nephrin (R&D Systems). For F-actin staining, secondary antibody was replaced by Alexa Fluor 488 phalloidin. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. For morphometric analysis, samples were imaged using a Nikon A1-Rs inverted Laser Scanning microscope or a Nikon Eclipse I 80 fluorescence microscope using 40× or 100× objectives. To visualize podocyte F-actin in glomeruli, z-Stacks were collected at 0.12-μm intervals over a range of 1.0~1.5μm. The z-stacks were processed and recombined using image J software. 20 glomeruli were examined per sample slide in a random fashion.

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.
