Goat anti brn2

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United Kingdom

Goat anti-Brn2 is a primary antibody that recognizes the Brn2 (also known as POU3F2) transcription factor. Brn2 is a member of the POU domain family and plays a role in the regulation of gene expression during neural development. The Goat anti-Brn2 antibody can be used to detect and quantify Brn2 in various experimental techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry.

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Chemcruz) for 15 min at room temperature, and then washed three times with PBS (Life Genomics). After washing, the fixed cells were permeabilized and blocked with PBS containing 0.03% Triton X-100 (Sigma) and 6% BSA (Sigma) for 1 hr at room temperature. The following primary antibodies were used: goat anti-SOX2 (Santa Cruz, 1:200), goat anti BRN2 (Santa Cruz, 1:200), rabbit anti-BLBP (Santa Cruz, 1:200), rat anti-MSI1 (MBL, 1:200), rabbit anti-MSI2 (Abcam, 1:200), mouse anti-TUJ1 (Covance, 1:500), rabbit anti-GFAP (Dako, 1:500), mouse anti-MBP (Abcam, 1:500), rabbit anti-GABA (Sigma, 1:200), rabbit anti-GLU (Sigma, 1:200), goat-anti ChAT (Merck, 1:200), and rabbit anti-TH (Merck, 1:200),and rabbit anti-MBP (Abcam, 1:200). Permeabilized cells were incubated with primary antibodies for 16 hrs at 4℃, washed three times with PBS, and incubated with secondary antibodies for 2 hrs at room temperature.

Embryos were dissected, and the brains were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 1–3.5 hr. For postnatal stage, brains were fixed with 4%PFA overnight. Following 30% sucrose replacement, fixed brains were embedded in optimum cutting temperature (OCT) compound, and 20 micrometer slices were cut on a cryostat. The antibodies used were, rat anti-GFP (1∶500; nakalai tesk), rabbit anti-GFP (1∶200; IBL), rabbit anti-DsRed (1∶500; Invitrogen), goat anti-Unc5D (1∶100; R&D), rabbit anti-Tbr2 (1∶300; abcam), goat anti-NeuroD1 (1∶100; Santa Cruz), mouse anti-PCNA (1∶100; Cell Signaling), mouse anti-Tuj1 (1∶500; SIGMA), rabbit anti-Tbr1 (1∶100; abcam), mouse anti-RORb (1∶100; PERSEUS PROTEOMICS), rat anti-Ctip2 (1∶300; abcam), goat anti-Brn2 (1∶100; Santa Cruz), and mouse anti-Prdm8 [24] (link). Alexa Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) were also used. EdU labeling (intraperitoneal injection of 12.5 mg/kg EdU) and staining were performed according to manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen). Stainings were examined with Zeiss LSM 710 or Olympus IX81, and the images were finally processed with Adobe Photoshop.

C. elegans serotonin antibody staining was performed using the tube fixation protocol (McIntire et al., 1992 (link)). Briefly, synchronized young adult hermaphrodites were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 18 hr, with β-mercapto-ethanol for another 18 hr, with 1 mg/ml collagenase (Sigma Aldrich, Merk, Darmstadt, Germany) for 90 min and incubated for 24 hr with rabbit anti-5HT antibody (1:5000; Sigma Aldrich). Alexa 555-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit (1:500; Molecular probes) was used as secondary antibody.
For mouse immunohistochemistry, freshly isolated E11.5 embryos from C57Bl/6JRccHsd were fixed by immersion in 4% PFA. Rabbit anti-Sall2 (1:100; Sigma Aldrich), goat anti-Brn2 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), rabbit anti-5HT (1:5000; Sigma Aldrich) and goat anti-5HT (1:200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies were used. As secondary antibodies Alexa 555-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit and anti-goat, and Alexa 488-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit and anti-goat were used (1:600; Molecular probes, Invitrogen, Eugene, OR). Immunofluorescence samples were analyzed and photographed using a confocal TCS-SP8 Leica microscope.

Protein was extracted from forebrain tissue (P7 and P10) using RIPA buffer for 30 min on ice (for TBR1 and CTIP2), or using the NE-PER nuclear protein extraction kit (for BRN2) (Thermo scientific). 10–30 µg of protein was resolved on 8% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Antibodies used were goat anti-BRN2 (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), rabbit anti-TBR1 (1:1000, Abcam), and rabbit anti-CTIP2 (1:1000, Abcam) followed by the appropriate horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody (1:5,000, GE Healthcare). The membranes were incubated in enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (ECL) before exposure to x-ray film (Amersham). The membranes were reprobed with mouse anti-α-tubulin (1:4,000, Sigma–Aldrich) or anti-INCENP as a loading control.

At postnatal day 1 (P1) or embryo day 18.5 (E18.5), the brains were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 48 h at 4℃. Brains were cut in 50 μm sections with a Leica VT 1000S vibratome (Leica Microsystems). The tissue sections were incubated with blocking solution (containing 0.1 M PBS, 5% serum, 1% BSA and 0.2% Triton X-100) at RT for 2 h. The sections were incubated with the rabbit-anti-GFP (1:1,000, Millipore) and goat-anti-Brn2 (1:1,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.) overnight at 4℃. After rinsing in 0.1 M PBS, the sections were incubated with donkey-anti-rabbit 488 (1:300, Millipore) and donkey-anti-goat 555 (1:300, Millipore) for 3 h at RT. Then, the sections were counterstained with DAPI for 20 min and rinsed in 0.1 M PBS for 1h. The sections were mounted in Dako Fluorescent Mounting Medium on glass slides and placed overnight at 4℃.

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.
