Anti ahr antibody

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United Kingdom, United States

The Anti-AhR antibody is a laboratory reagent used to detect and quantify the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) protein in various biological samples. AhR is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in regulating the expression of genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism, cell proliferation, and other cellular processes. This antibody can be used in techniques such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry to study the expression and localization of AhR in different cell types and tissues.

Detecting Ubiquitinated AhR in Trophoblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trophoblast cells were treated with MG132 (M1902, AbMole Bioscience, USA) for 6 h, and then lyzed, in lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors. Cell lysates were incubated with 30 µL Protein A/G immunoprecipitation magnetic beads (B23201, Bimake), coupling with anti‐AhR antibody (1:250, PA5‐122264, Invitrogen) or anti‐IgG antibody at 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, the ubiquitinated AhR (AhR‐Ub) was detected by Western blotting.

Immunofluorescence analysis of AKR1C3, loricrin, and AHR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues were obtained by biopsy from patients and fixed in 10% formalin before embedding in paraffin. Sections were deparaffinized in xylene for 10 min, followed by graded rehydration in EtOH (99.5%, 95%, 85%, 70%, and 50%) for 5 min each. For AKR1C3 and loricrin, sections were incubated in antigen retrieval buffer (10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 6.0) at 95 °C for 10 min in a water bath. For AHR, sections were incubated in antigen retrieval buffer (10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, pH 9.0) at 95 °C for 10 min in a pressure cooker. Sections were incubated in the following primary antibodies, 1:46 anti-AKR1C3 antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany), 1:500 anti-loricrin antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), or 1:50 anti-AHR antibody (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA) overnight at 4 °C. Sections were then incubated in 1:500 Alexa Fluorescein 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Invitrogen), 1:500 Alexa Fluorescein 488-conjugated secondary goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (Invitrogen) for 30 min at 37 °C. The images were obtained using a fluorescence microscope BZ-X810 (Keyence, Osaka, Japan). The fluorescence intensities of AKR1C3 and AHR were calculated using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD) from 10 randomly selected fields.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Assay for AHR Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed according to the kit protocol (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Visalia, CA) with an anti-AHR antibody (Thermo Scientific, Rockland, IL). The PCR product corresponding to the Ubch7 proximal gene promoter was generated from an aliquot of immunoprecipitated material. Brain homogenates from WT mice treated with a single oral dose of TCDD or vehicle (corn oil) were washed with PBS buffer and cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde. After chromatin isolation, the DNA was fragmented, and immunoprecipitation was performed. The cross-linking was reversed, the DNA was purified, and PCR amplification was performed as follows: initial denaturation at 94C for 3 min, 25 cycles of denaturation at 94C for 30 s, annealing at 65C for 30 s, and extension at 72C for 3 s. A final extension cycle at 72C for 10 min was added to the end of the program. The oligonucleotides used for PCR amplification were 5-GGCTAGAACCCCCTCACTTC-3 (forward) and 5´-GGCTAGAACCCCCTCACTTC-3 (reverse).

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.
