Anti aqp2 antibody

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in Canada

The Anti-AQP2 antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and analysis of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) protein. AQP2 is a water channel protein involved in water reabsorption in the kidney. This antibody can be used in various research applications, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry, to study the expression and localization of AQP2 in biological samples.

IHC was performed as previously described.12 (link) Rabbit polyclonal antibodies were used to label RNase 7 (1:50, Sigma-Aldrich) and IR (1:50, Abcam, Cambridge, MA). Triple label immunofluorescence was performed to localize IR expression in the kidney. All sections were prepared as previously described.12 (link) Sections were labeled for principal cells with a goat polyclonal anti-AQP-2 antibody (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and intercalated cells with a chicken polyclonal anti-V-ATPase E1 subunit antibody (1:2,000, Sigma-Aldrich) or a mouse monoclonal anti-AE1 antibody (1:2,000, kindly provided by M. Jennings).

Isolated kidneys were fixed in 40% Formalin and routinely embedded, cut at 4 μm slices, dried and deparaffinized for subsequent histochemistry. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining was used to assess kidney morphology. The kidney slices were scanned with Nikon (Melville, NY) Super CoolScan 9000 interfaced with NikonScan 4 software. Further analysis of cyst area was performed using color threshholding method using Metamorph (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) software as previously described (33 (link)). For immunohistochemistry, tissue sections were incubated with anti-β-ENaC antibodies (StressMarq, Victoria, Canada) or anti-AQP2 antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Secondary detection was performed with goat anti-rabbit biotinylated IgG (Biocare, Concord, CA) followed by streptavidin horseradish peroxidase (Biocare) and visualized with DAB (DAKO). All slides were counterstained with a Mayer hematoxylin (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA), dehydrated, and mounted with permanent mounting media (Sakura, Torrance, CA).
Captured images were analyzed with ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD) to measure signal intensities (arbitrary units, ranged from 0 to 255) in tubules and cysts. Intensities from 7–18 individual tubules or cysts were collected each animal; total number of animals per group was three.

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.
