Cxcr4 antibody

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in Germany, United States, China, United Kingdom

The CXCR4 antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and analysis of the CXCR4 protein. CXCR4 is a chemokine receptor that plays a role in cell migration and signaling. The antibody can be used in various research applications, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry, to identify and study the CXCR4 protein.

The cells that were cultured on glass slides were fixed with formaldehyde and were permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100, then they were incubated with CXCR4 antibody and goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (Abcam, Germany), respectively. Finally, the cells were counterstained with DAPI and observed under a fluorescent inverted microscope. The positive reaction can be seen as green, and the nucleus was blue.

Proteins (30 ug) were extracted from whole cell lysates and separated on 10% SDS-PAGE gels as described previously [20 (link)]. The protein ribbons were then transferred to the PVDF membrane and closed with a PBS containing 5% BSA for 1 h. After incubation with CXCR4 antibody (1:2000, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA) overnight at 4 °C, the protein band was incubated for 1 h with the corresponding secondary antibody (CST, 6883, Danvers, MA, USA). Finally, we visualized the protein bands using chemiluminescent reagents.

The total cell extracts were obtained using a Cell Lysis Buffer (Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA) in the presence of protease inhibitor (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN) at 4°C for 30 min. Briefly, cells (5x106) were washed twice with cell wash solution. The extracted proteins (40 μg) was resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using the Novex Bolt gel electrophoresis system and iBlot® transfer stack system (Life Technologies Corp., Grand Island, NY), and probed with the appropriate dilution of CXCR4 antibody (1:1000, ab2074, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), β-actin antibody (1:10000, A5441, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) Na, K-ATPase antibody (1:1000, #3010, Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA), E-Cadherin (1:1000, #3195, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), and Vimentin antibody (1:1000, #3932, Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA). Immunoreactivity was detected using an ECL detection system (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corp., Pittsburgh, PA). Films were exposed at multiple time points to ensure that images were not saturated.

The cells were harvested in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer and lysed on ice. From each sample, equal amounts of protein were employed for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then transferred to PVDF membranes. After being blocked with 5% nonfat milk/TBST, the membrane was successively incubated with the appropriate primary antibody and a secondary antibody. Every incubation was followed by 3 washes with TBST. Protein signals were determined using a chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Primary antibodies: MSH6, N-cadherin, Vimentin, E-cadherin, p-AKT, p-STAT3, p-Smad2/3, p-ERK, p-p38, p-JNK, p-p65, STAT3, Smad2/3, ERK, p38, JNK and p65 antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA); Ki67, Nestin, CD133, SOX2, Cyclin D1, Bax, Bcl-2, MMP2, MMP9, HIF1A, VEGFA, Snail, Slug, Twist, ZEB1, ZEB2, AKT, TGFB1 and β-actin antibodies were supplied by Proteintech (Wuhan, Hubei, China); CXCR4 antibody was obtained from Abcam (Shanghai, China). Secondary antibodies: horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated affinipure goat anti-mouse IgG and HRP- conjugated affinipure goat anti-rabbit IgG were purchased from Proteintech (Wuhan, Hubei, China).

Immunofluorescence double staining with CXCR4 and gp100 was performed using Opal Automation Multiplex IHC Detection Kits (Akova Bioscience, Inc. Marlborough, MA) in Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA System (Roche, Tucson, Arizona), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens were sliced into 5μM sections. Tissue sections were deparaffinized and blocked with a blocking buffer, then incubated with the CXCR4 antibody (Catalog number: ab124824; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, 1:400 dilution) for 40 min. Following a thorough wash, the tissue sections were incubated with the secondary antibody and developed with Opal520. Tissue sections were then incubated with anti-melanoma gp100 antibody (Catalog number: ab137078; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, 1:200 dilution) for 40 min. After a thorough wash, the tissue sections were incubated with the secondary antibody and developed with Opal570. DAPI was applied as the nuclear counterstaining. Images were scanned and analyzed with Phenochart TM 1.0 Whole Slide Contextual Viewer for Annotation and Review (Akova Bioscience, Inc. Marlborough, MA)

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.
