Isotype control antibody

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Isotype control antibodies are laboratory reagents used to establish appropriate background signal levels in immunoassays. They are antibodies that have the same isotype as the primary antibody being used but do not bind to the target antigen. Isotype controls help identify non-specific binding and set appropriate gating parameters in flow cytometry and other applications.

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was used to characterize canine Ad-MSCs from passage 2. Cultured cells were trypsinized, spun down in a centrifuge, and washed twice in FACS buffer consisting of 10 mM hepes (Gibco/Invitrogen), 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma-Aldrich) in Leibovitz's L-15 medium (Gibco/Invitrogen). After the washing step, cells aliquots (1 × 106 cells) were incubated in FACS buffer containing fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies against CD29, CD90 and STRO-1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CD34 and CD45 (MiltenyiBiotech SL), and MHC-II (BD Pharmingen, Becton Dickinson), or an appropriate isotype control antibody (Sigma-Aldrich). After 30 minutes in the dark on ice, cells were washed again in FACS buffer before analysis. Five hundred thousand events per sample were analyzed on aMoFlo SP1338 (DakoCytomation, Denmark) using Summit software. Cells were gated on forward and side scatter to exclude debris and cell aggregates, and dead cells were excluded by 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD, BD Pharmingen) staining.

Immunoprecipitation of p53 Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunoprecipitation, cells were treated for 4 h with Etoposide and/or Roc-A in the absence or presence of 100 nM Bortezomib (Enzo Life Sciences). In the case of metabolic pulse-labeling experiments, treatment was followed by adding 100 μCi/ml of [35S]-methionine-labeling mix (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) to the medium for 0–15 min. Subsequently, cells were washed in ice-cold PBS, lysed in IP buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 5 M NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, protease inhibitors) and centrifuged (10 000 × g, 20 min) to clear lysates. Aliquots were taken for input control and lysates were incubated overnight with sepharose-coupled protein A beads, anti-p53 antibody (FL-393; Santa Cruz) or isotype control antibody (Sigma-Aldrich). Two wash steps with IP buffer preceded boiling of beads in denaturing sample buffer at 95°C for 5 min. Incorporation of [35S]-methionine into p53 protein was detected by the phosphoimaging system FLA-7000 IR (Fujifilm Europe GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany).

Cell-surface imaging was performed using HEK293 or COS-7 cells transfected with human full-length HATL5-V5. Cells were seeded on coverslips coated with rat type-2 collagen (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and allowed to adhere and grow for 36 h, at which point, media was removed and cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 30 min at room temperature. HATL5-V5 was detected using a monoclonal anti-V5 antibody (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) or an isotype control antibody (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and a secondary AlexaFlour-568-conjugated goat-anti-mouse antibody (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Cell staining was imaged by confocal microscopy using a Leica TCS SP2 confocal microscope (Leica, Buffalo Grove, IL).

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.
