C fos primary antibody

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in Germany

The C-fos primary antibody is a tool used in scientific research to detect the presence and levels of the c-Fos protein, which is an important transcription factor involved in cellular processes. This antibody can be used in various analytical techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry, to study the expression and localization of c-Fos in different biological samples.

Immunostaining of c-Fos in Mouse Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized using pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg), perfused with saline, followed by 4% methanol in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PBS). After which brain tissue was removed, postfixed into 4% methanol for 6 h, and then immersed in 30% sucrose. After 3 days, a freezing microtome (Leica) was used to obtain 40-μm-thick coronal brain sections. Slices were then washed with PBS and treated with 1% Triton-100, followed by goat serum and incubation with c-fos primary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, -sc-52, 1:3,000) at 4°C overnight. Slices were then incubated with the corresponding fluorescence-conjugated secondary antibody [Alexa Fluor 488 (1:500, A11034, Invitrogen)] at room temperature for 2 h. Images with fluorescence were captured using a Nikon A1 confocal microscope with the resolution of 1,024 × 1,024 pixels and were then processed using National Institutes of Health (NIH) ImageJ software.

For measurement of fos-like immunoreactivity in mouse CeA, animals were perfused 90–120 min after the first 10 min of the binge access period (Figures 2 and S1). On day 1 sections were washed, permeabilized in 50% methanol for 30 min, quenched in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 5 min, washed, and then blocked in PBS containing 0.3% Triton X-100 and 0.5% BSA for 1 hour. c-fos primary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology - sc-52) was added to sections at 1:3000 and sections were incubated for 24–48 hours at 4 degrees. On day 2, sections were washed in TNT buffer (0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20) for 10 min, blocked in TNB buffer (0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.5% Blocking reagent - PerkinElmer FP1020) for 30 min. Sections were incubated in secondary antibody (Goat anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated- Sigma) 1:200 in TNB buffer for 30 min., washed in TNT buffer 4X for 5 min, and then incubated in Fluorescein diluted in TSA amplification diluents for 10 min. Sections were then washed 2X in TNT buffer, mounted, and coverslipped using Vectashield mounting medium containing DAPI.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Stxbp1cre/+, congenic BL6 Stxbp1+/− mice and controls (n = 4, 5 and 5, respectively) were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Brains were fixed in 4% PFA (paraformaldehyde) and cryoprotected in a 30% sucrose solution overnight. Brains were blocked in the coronal plane, frozen on dry ice, and sectioned at 50 µm on a cryostat. Coronal brain sections were stained with c-Fos primary antibody (Santa Cruz, sc-52; 1:800/1:500). After overnight incubation, sections were incubated with biotinylated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (#65-6140, Invitrogen; 1:400). The sections were then incubated in avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (Vectastain ABC, Vector Laboratories; 1:800) and peroxidase labelling was visualized by DAB/nickel substrate working solution (DAB Peroxidase Substrate, SK-4100; Vector Laboratories). Images were obtained using a Leica light microscope (×10 magnification) and number of c-Fos positive cells was counted using ImageJ software. A detailed description of the protocol and analysis can be found in the Supplementary material.

Quantifying NLRP3 Gene Expression in HMC3 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nucleoprotein in HMC3 cells was extracted with a CelLytic™ NuCLEAR™ Extraction Kit (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Germany) and incubated c-Fos primary antibody (1:500 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) at 4 °C for 60 min with gentle mixing. Subsequently, 20 µl Protein A/G Plus-Agarose beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) were added, followed by incubation at 4 °C overnight. The mixture was centrifuged at 500 x g for 5 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded and the Co-IP products were washed three times with PBS. After the final wash, the precipitates were re-suspended in 40 μl sample buffer and detected by PCR to quantify the NLRP3 gene expression.
PCR was performed using the iQ5 Multicolor Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) with SYBR Premix Ex Taq II (Takara). The PCR primer sequences for NLRP3 and GAPDH were as follows: NLRP3, (F)5'-GCTGGTCTTGAATTCCTCA-3' and (R) 5'-GGCACACGGATGAGTCTTT-3'; GAPDH, (F) 5'-TACTAGCGGTTTTACGGGCG-3' and (R) 5'- TCGAACAGGAGGAGCAGAGAGCGA-3'. A melting curve analysis of the amplified products was performed at the end of each PCR cycle. The comparative C(T) method was used to quantify the expression of NLRP3 using GAPDH as the normalization control.

We rinsed sections in 0.5M TBS 3 times for 5 minutes each then quenched with 0.30% hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes. Next, tissue was blocked in 10% DS-TBS for 1 h before incubation in c-Fos primary antibody (1:1000, Santa Cruz H-125) for 2 nights. On day 3, sections were rinsed again in .1%TBS-TX 3 times before a 2 h incubation in biotin donkey anti-rabbit (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch). Following another rinse in TBS-TX, the sections were incubated in S-HRP (Vectastain; 1:600) for 1 h then rinsed in TBS-TX 3 times. Finally, the tissue was incubated in DAB-Nickel for 5–10 minutes before the final rise in TBS until slide mounting.

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.
