β actin monoclonal antibody

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United Kingdom

β-actin monoclonal antibody is a primary antibody that specifically recognizes the β-actin protein, a highly conserved cytoskeletal protein found in eukaryotic cells. This antibody can be used for the detection and quantification of β-actin in various applications, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence.

Oocytes extracts were prepared as previously described (White et al., 1992 (link)), separated on 12% SDS gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Blots were blocked with 5% milk 0.1% Tween20 in TBS, probed with polyclonal antibodies against Cx26 or Cx43 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad CA), followed by horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson Laboratories and GE Healthcare). A monoclonal β-actin antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) was used as a loading control. Band intensities were quantified using ImageJ software. The phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of Cx43 (two bands) were quantified and expressed as a single value.

CC tissue homogenates were used for Western blotting performed according to standard procedures. Briefly, homogenates were lysed in lysis buffer containing 50mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0). These homogenates were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane blocked with 5% skim milk, and hybridized with primary antibodies. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) antibody and monoclonal β-actin antibody were purchased from Abcam. After incubation with horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature, immunoreactive proteins were detected using a chemiluminescent electrogenerated chemiluminescence assay kit (Abcam) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Protein expression of all RMS cell lines was also characterized by WB assay, and for those cell lines that resulted IHC ALK positive, its phosphorylated form was also investigated. Samples containing 200 μg of protein per lane were separated on precast 4–12% NuPAGE bis-tris gels (Invitrogen), and were transferred onto Hybond ECL nitrocellulose membranes (Invitrogen) using the NuPAGE transfer buffer and iBlot device (Invitrogen). Nitrocellulose membranes were blocked in PBS-Tween 20 with 5% skim milk, first incubated with the primary antibodies (Cell Signaling) and then with the secondary peroxidase linked whole antibodies (GE Healthcare Europe). Bound antibodies were detected using the Super Signal chemiluminescent substrate (GE Healthcare Europe). β-Actin monoclonal antibody (Abcam) was used to confirm equal protein loading on the gel. Filters were autoradiographed, and autoradiographs were scanned and quantified by densitometric analysis using Vision Works LS software (UVP, Upland, CA, USA). The H2228 lung adenocarcinoma cell line, positive for ALK rearrangement (EML4-ALK), was utilized as positive control for ALK expression (total protein and phosphorylated form at 80kDa).

According to the method of Kang et al. [13 (link)], homogenates of medaka gills or embryos were prepared. Aliquots containing 20 μg of homogenates were heated at 65°C for 25 min and fractionated by electrophoresis on SDS-containing 7.5% polyacrylamide gels. Transferred PVDF blots were incubated with VILL polyclonal antibody (1:200,000 dilution) or β-actin monoclonal antibody (1:10,000 dilution; 8226, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 2 hrs, followed by a 1-hr reaction with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse or anti-rabbit IgG (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA).

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.
