Anti map2

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom, Germany

Anti-MAP2 is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and quantification of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) in various biological samples. MAP2 is a cytoskeletal protein that is primarily found in the dendrites of neurons and plays a crucial role in the stabilization and organization of the neuronal cytoskeleton. The Anti-MAP2 product can be used in techniques such as immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to study the expression and distribution of MAP2 in research applications.

All brain tissue processed for immunofluorescence (IF) was frozen with optimal cutting temperature compound on a microtome stage and sectioned/collected for ST (25 μm in thickness) and SN (40 μm in thickness) regions. Tissue sections were stored in cryoprotectant (30% sucrose, 30% ethylene glycol, and 0.5 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.2) at 20°C until selected for immunostaining. IF staining was conducted as previously described by Miller et al. (2011) (link), and all antibody dilutions were 1:500, unless stated otherwise (Miller et al., 2011 (link)). For stereology, SN sections were immunostained with anti-TH (cat. no. AB152; Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA) and anti-MAP2 (cat. no. AB5392; Abcam). For gliosis, SN and ST sections were immunostained with either anti–ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA-1) (1:250; cat. no. 016-20001; Wako Chemicals USA, Inc., Richmond, VA) or anti–glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (cat. no. Z0334; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and anti-TH (cat. no. AB76442, Abcam). SN tissue was also immunostained with anti-TH and anti-Nurr1 (1:200, SC991; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) for mean intensity measurements of Nurr1. All secondary antibodies used for IF were Alexa Fluor 488, 555, and 647 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate neuritic outgrowth and connectivity, fixed cells were stained with the following primary antibodies: a rabbit polyclonal anti-MAP2 (1:100, Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) and a mouse monoclonal anti-PSD-95 (1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibody. Detection was performed using a FITC-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA) and a Cy3-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA) antibody, respectively. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst-33342 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and fluorescent images were acquired using a Nikon Eclipse Te600 microscope equipped with a Nikon Digital Camera DXM1200 ATI system (Nikon Instruments, Inc., Melville, NY, USA). The neuritic length of MAP2-positive neurons was measured and quantified by tracing along each neuronal projection using the image analysis system Image Pro Plus (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD, USA) as previously described [11 (link)]. The degree of synaptic innervation was evaluated by counting the number of PSD-95 positive puncta on proximal dendrites and expressed as the number of PSD-95 puncta per 20 μm of neuritic length. Immunofluorescence images were taken with a LEICA TCS SL confocal microscope (Leica Mycrosystems, Wetzlar, Germany). Fifty neurons for each condition were evaluated.

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.
