Polyclonal rabbit anti laminin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Polyclonal rabbit anti-laminin is a laboratory reagent that contains antibodies raised in rabbits against the laminin protein. Laminin is a key component of the extracellular matrix and plays a role in cell adhesion and differentiation. The polyclonal antibodies in this product can be used to detect and study the distribution of laminin in biological samples.

A series of coronal sections were selected to perform immunochemical staining of BrdU, nestin, DCX, NeuN, and laminin. The primary antibodies were applied including sheep polyclonal anti-BrdU (1 : 500, Abcam, USA), mouse monoclonal anti-BrdU (1 : 1000, Sigma-Aldrich, USA), mouse monoclonal anti-nestin (1 : 1000, Chemicon, USA), mouse monoclonal anti-neuronal nuclei (NeuN, 1 : 1000, Chemicon, USA), or rabbit polyclonal anti-laminin (1 : 200, Sigma-Aldrich, USA). After blocking with goat serum and incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, the slices were incubated with fluorescent-labeled secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-sheep IgG (1 : 200), Cy3-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1 : 200), or Cy3-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1 : 200; all three antibodies from Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. For BrdU immunofluorescence, brain sections were pretreated for 30 min at 37°C with 2 N HCl and then rinsed for 10 min in 0.1 M boric acid (pH = 8.5) at room temperature followed by incubation with blocking solution. Phosphate-buffered saline instead of primary antibody was applied in negative control. The images were taken from four different fields at least (Olympus BX51; Olympus).

Muscle Fiber Typing and Size Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Part of each muscle biopsy sample was frozen in liquid nitrogen-cooled isopentane. These samples were cut into 5-μm thick cryosections using a cryostat at –20 °C. Muscle biopsies were stained for muscle fiber typing and used to assess muscle fiber type composition and type I and II muscle fiber size as described in detail previously [31 (link)]. In short, slides were incubated with primary antibodies directed against myosin heavy chain (MHC)-I (A4.840, dilution 1:25; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, Iowa City, IA, USA) and laminin (polyclonal rabbit antilaminin, dilution 1:50; Sigma, Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands). Goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin M (IgM) AlexaFluor555 and goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) AlexaFluor647 were applied as secondary antibodies (dilution 1:500 and 1:400; Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Breda, the Netherlands). Images were captured with a fluorescent microscope and analyzed for muscle CSA and fiber-type distribution using ImageJ software.

Femurs of mice were fixed overnight in 1% paraformaldehyde/phosphate-lysine-sodium periodate and cryoprotected for at least 72 h in a 30% sucrose/phosphate buffer solution at 4°C before subsequent freezing in Sakura Tissue Tek O.C.T. compound (Andwin Scientific). Frozen cryosectioning on slides was performed at the Medical College of Wisconsin Histological Laboratory and Core Center. For MK counts, 7-µm femur sections were rehydrated and permeabilized in TBS-T for 15 min at room temperature (RT) then blocked overnight in a 5% BSA/PBS solution at 4°C. Sections were incubated for 2 h at RT with monoclonal rat-anti-GPIbα (Emfret Analytics) and polyclonal rabbit anti-laminin (Sigma-Aldrich) followed by a 1 h RT incubation with conjugated secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes). Sections were washed and mounted with Prolong Diamond Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Invitrogen) and imaged on a Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E platform equipped with a DS-Qi2 camera and Plan Apo 10x/0.45 (NIS-Elements AR 5.02.00 software). Data were image-processed using Imaris (Bitplane) and Matlab (Mathworks) softwares. Surfaces were created toward the greatest signal intensities GPIbα-positive cells and quantitatively analyzed using Imaris and Excel (Microsoft).

Frozen muscle biopsies were cut into 5-mm-thick cryosections using a cryostat at À20 C, and thaw mounted on uncoated precleaned glass slides. Samples from pre-and postsurgery were mounted together on the same glass slide. Care was taken to properly align the samples for cross-sectional fiber analyses. Muscle biopsies were stained for muscle fiber type determination, that is, type I and type II muscle fibers. Details of the analytical procedures have been described previously. 56 First, antibodies were directed against laminin (polyclonal rabbit anti-laminin, dilution 1:50; Sigma, Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands) and myosin heavy chain-I (A4.840, dilution 1:25;

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.
