Streptavidin af 488 conjugate

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Streptavidin AF 488 conjugate is a fluorescent-labeled streptavidin protein. Streptavidin is a tetrameric protein that binds strongly to the vitamin biotin. The Alexa Fluor 488 dye is covalently attached to the streptavidin protein, allowing for the detection of biotin-labeled molecules in various bioassays and imaging applications.

Histological Analysis of Tumor and Mammary Gland

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors and mammary glands were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and paraffin embedded. When appropriate, control sections were treated with hyaluronidase (16 U/mL) for 30 min in a humidity chamber at 37 °C. Sections were then stained with either hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or biotinylated hyaluronan binding-protein (HABP, MilliporeSigma #385,911 at 1:100) for 1 h at room temperature. Sections were incubated in Streptavidin AF 488 conjugate (at 1:500, FisherScientific #S11223) secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature in a humidity chamber: Tissues were mounted with a coverslip using ProLong Gold Antifade DAPI (Invitrogen, #P36931).

Tumors were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and paraffin embedded. When appropriate, control sections were treated with hyaluronidase (16 U/mL) for 30min, in a humidity chamber at 37 °C. Sections were then stained with either hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), F4/80 (#MCA497GA at 1:100, Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) and CD206 (Abcam #ab64693 at 1:1000, Cambridge, UK) overnight at 4 °C, or biotinylated HABP (MilliporeSigma #385911 at 1:100), for 1 h at room temperature. Sections were incubated in the appropriate secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature in a humidity chamber: Streptavidin AF 488 conjugate (at 1:500, FisherScientific #S11223, Waltham, MA, USA), AF 594 (at 1:400, Invitrogen #A11007), and AF 488 (at 1:400, Fisher Scientific #A21206). Tissues were coverslipped with ProLong Gold Antifade DAPI (Invitrogen, #P36931).

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.
