Anti phospho fak

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Anti-phospho-FAK is a laboratory reagent used to detect and quantify the phosphorylation of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK), a protein involved in cellular signaling pathways. This antibody specifically binds to the phosphorylated form of FAK, allowing researchers to analyze the activation state of this important protein.

For immunohistochemical analysis, paraffin embedded tissue sections (5 µm) were dehydrated through graded ethanol followed by heat mediated antigen retrieval and incubation of anti-CD31 (abcam; 1:500), anti-phospho-FAK (ThermoFisher Scientific; 1:200), and anti-Integrin-β1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:200) diluted in antibody diluent overnight at 4°C. For CD31 staining the ImmPRESS HRP anti-rabbit IgG polymer detection kit (Vector Laboratories) and DAB was used for detection followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin. Quantification was performed by ImageJ to count CD31+ positive cells and microvessels. For immunofluorescent detection of phospho-FAK and Integrin-β1 anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody Alexa Fluor 546 conjugate (Invitrogen; 1:500) and anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody Alexa Fluor 546 conjugate (Invitrogen;1:500) were used. Slides were counterstained with DAPI (ThermoFisher Scientific; 1:1000). Quantification of overall expression was performed using ImageJ by calculating the integrated density of the signal for each cell.

T3M4 WT, WT-MUC16KO, SC, and SC-MUC16KO cells orthotopically implanted tumor tissues from a previous study [28 (link)] were formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded to prepare tissue slides. Slides were de-paraffinized using xylene, sequentially re-hydrated with alcohol (100%, 90%, 80%, 70%) and water, followed by hydrogen peroxide for quenching, and antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH = 6.0) for 10 min. They were blocked with Universal Blocker (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and incubated with primary antibodies, anti-phospho-FAK (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), at 4 °C overnight. After washing with 1X TBS, slides were incubated with the anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Agilent, CA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. Post-washing, tissues were exposed to 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) substrate and counterstained with hematoxylin. It was followed by sequential dehydration with alcohol and cleared with xylene. Slides were mounted in mounting media with a coverslip. Histoscoring was done by a board-certified pathologist. Histoscore quantification was completed, as described previously [28 (link)].

The human OC cell lines CaOV3 and OVCAR3 were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA) and maintained in a humidified 5 % CO2 incubator at 37 °C. Cells were passaged twice weekly. OVCAR3 cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 (Wisent, St-Bruno, QC, Canada) supplemented with 20 % FBS, insulin (10 mg/L), glutamine (2 mM) and antibiotics. CaOV3 cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 (Wisent) supplemented with 10 % FBS, 2 mM glutamine and antibiotics. Acellular ascites fractions were obtained at the time of initial cytoreductive surgery from women with advanced serous ovarian carcinomas. Samples were supplied by the Banque de tissus et de données cliniques et biologiques sur les cancers gynécologiques et du sein de Sherbrooke as part of the Banque de tissus et de données du Réseau de Recherche en Cancer des Fonds de Recherche du Québec en Santé (FRQS) affiliated to the Canadian Tumor Repository Network (CTRNet). HRP-conjugated anti-mouse and rabbit antibodies and anti-FAK antibody were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA). Anti-phospho FAK and anti-phospho Pyl2 were from Thermo Fisher (Waltham, MA). Anti-Pyk2 and anti-Tubulin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Oakville, ON). CCL18 and CCL18 neutralizing antibody were from RnD Systems (Minneapolis, MN). Plasmid pCMV6-ENTRY-PTK2B was obtained from Origene (Rockville, MD).

Protein extracts from NSCLC cell lines and fresh frozen lung tissue samples were prepared in lysis buffer (0.5% Triton X-100, 50 mM β-glycerophosphate, pH 7.2, 0.1 mM dithiothreitol, 2 µg/mL leupeptin, and 2 µg/mL aprotinin). Extracts were resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked in Tris-buffered saline (TTBS) containing 10 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.4), 140 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20, and 3% nonfat dry milk for 1 hour and incubated with TTBS containing indicated antibodies at 0.5 µg/mL for 12–16 hours at 4 oC. The following antibodies were used for immunoblotting: anti-KCNF1 (Sigma, HPA014738), anti-ITGB4 (Abcam, ab182120), anti-HA (Cell Signaling, 2367), anti-His (Proteintech, 10001-0-AP), anti-phospho-FAK (Tyr397, Invitrogen, 44624 G), anti-FAK (Invitrogen, AHO0502), anti-phospho-AKT (pS473, Cell Signaling, 9271), anti-AKT (Cell Signaling, 9272), anti-caspase 3, -caspase 7, and -caspase 9 (Cell Signaling: 9662, 9492, 9508), anti-GAPDH (Cell Signaling, 5174), and anti-Actin (Sigma, A2066).

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.
