Sourced in United States

Rat anti-E-cadherin is a primary antibody produced in rats that specifically targets the E-cadherin protein. E-cadherin is a cell-cell adhesion protein that plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of epithelial tissues. This antibody can be used to detect and analyze the expression of E-cadherin in various experimental applications.

TRPV4 Immunohistochemistry in Guinea Pigs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Guinea pigs were immunized with a peptide corresponding to the mouse TRPV4 C‐terminus (CDGHQQGYAPKWRTDDAPL) coupled with hemocyanin (Sucram). Antibody reactivity and specificity were confirmed by immunoblotting, in which bands of the correct size were observed in protein extracts of TRPV4‐transfected HEK293 cells, but not pcDNA3.1‐transfected cells. Immunohistochemistry was performed as described.8 Animals (n = 3 per group) were perfused transcardially with heparinized PBS followed by 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffer. The maxilla was dissected out and decalcified with 10% EDTA for 7 days. For histology, paraffin sections were cut and stained with hematoxylin‐eosin. For immunohistochemistry, 10‐µm‐thick frozen sections were incubated with anti‐TRPV4 (2 µg/mL), rat anti‐E‐cadherin (1:200; Takara Bio Inc, Shiga, Japan), and rabbit anti‐β‐catenin (1:400; Cell Signaling Technology) antibodies at 4°C overnight. The antibodies were visualized with fluorochrome‐conjugated secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor® 488 or 594 donkey anti‐guinea pig/rabbit or rat IgG; 1:400; Jackson ImmunoResearch). F‐actin was visualized with Alexa Fluor® 546 phalloidin (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All sections were observed and analyzed with an Axio Imager 2 microscope with ApoTome or an LSM700 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss).

Jejunal tissues were dissected 5–6 cm from the pyloric region of the stomach. After fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) (Nacalai Tesque) in PBS for 4 h, the tissues were placed in 30% sucrose (Nacalai Tesque) solution at 4 °C overnight. The tissues embedded in the OCT compound (Sakura Finetek, Tokyo, Japan) were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen blocks were sliced into 30 µm thin sections. Well-dried tissue sections on glass slides were treated with 0.3% Triton X-100 (Nacalai Tesque) in PBS for 15 min and then incubated with 10% donkey serum (Sigma Aldrich) for 30 min.

To create a single cell suspension, pancreatic tumor tissue was rinsed in cold, sterile 1× PBS before mincing with scissors (approximately 100 chops). The minced pieces were then incubated in preheated collagenase with protease inhibitors (2 mg/ml; Sigma) for 20 min at 37°C. Vigorous vortexing was performed ev ery 5 min during this incubation. The dissolved pieces were then poured over a 70 µM cell strainer and large pieces were mechanically broken down.

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.
