Anti tyrosinase antibody

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

The Anti-tyrosinase antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and quantification of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the production of melanin. This antibody can be utilized in techniques such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA to study the expression and localization of tyrosinase in various biological samples.

Example 4

Melanocytes (B16F10 cell line) were incubated on 6-well culture plates in an incubator for 24 hours, and were treated with the peptide of the present invention with different concentrations. After the incubation for 24 hours, the cells were dissolved, and the expression of tyrosinase, which is an essential enzyme involved in melanogenesis, was observed by western blot assay using a specific antibody. The test was conducted using an anti-tyrosinase antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA).

When melanocytes B16F10 were treated with the peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2 and the expression aspect of the tyrosinase protein involved in melanogenesis was observed over time, it was verified that the expression of the protein was increased compared with a control in view of the 6-hour treatment and 24-hour treatment (FIGS. 4a and 4b).

The DOPA reaction test was referred to the method of Gershoni-Baruch et
al.
[10 (link)]. The whole brain was divided
sagittally and notches were coronally made at 1-mm intervals, and fixed immediately in a
solution which consisted of 10% formalin and 15% sucrose in 10 mM phosphate-buffered
saline (pH 7.4) at 4°C for 3 h. After fixation, each brain was embedded in
Tissue-Tek® O.C.T. Compound (Sakura Finetek USA ; Torrance, CA, USA). The
cryostat sections with a 20-µm thickness adhered to a slide glass were
rinsed in PBS and incubated in 0.1% L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in 10 mM
phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) at 37°C for 24 h, and then they were rinsed in water.
After the DOPA reaction, specimens were examined by light microscopy. Subsequently,
immunohistochemistry was carried out with anti-tyrosinase antibody (Santa Cruz) as a
primary antibody and RITC-conjugated donkey polyclonal antibody against goat IgG (1:100,
sc-2094: Santa Cruz) as a secondary antibody. Then, specimens were examined by
fluorescence microscopy.

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.
