Rabbit anti trkb

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

Rabbit anti-TrkB is a primary antibody that specifically recognizes the TrkB receptor. TrkB is a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds to the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and mediates BDNF signaling in the nervous system.

1) To assess the cellular source of TrkB, double immunofluorescence labeling was performed by simultaneous incubation of sections with rabbit anti-TrkB (1:100; Cell Signaling Danvers, MA, USA) overnight at 4 °C with mouse anti-NeuN (a neuronal marker; 1:100; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), rat anti-GFAP (an astrocyte marker; 1:200; Invitrogen, Camarillo, CA, USA), and mouse anti-F4/80 (a microglia/macrophage marker; 1:100; Serotec, Düsseldorf, Germany).
2) To assess protein expression of pTrkB, pAkt Ser473 or BDNF, double immunofluorescence labeling was performed by simultaneous incubation of sections with rabbit anti-pTrkB (1:100; Cell Signaling), rabbit anti-pAkt Ser473 (1:100; Cell Signaling) or rabbit anti-BDNF (1:100; Santa Cruz, CA, USA) overnight at 4 °C with mouse anti-NeuN (1:100; Millipore) or rat anti-GFAP (1:200; Invitrogen).
Sections were washed, followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor 488- or Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:500; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) for 2 h.

Western blots of the media and cell lysates from cultured neurons were performed using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences). Cell lysates were collected using a lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors for mammalian cell/tissue extracts (Sigma Aldrich). Media samples were immunoprecipitated with Myc antibodies bound to protein G Sepharose beads (Thermo Scientific). The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-Myc (Sigma Aldrich), 1:500 dilution; rabbit anti-Myc (Cell Signaling Technology), 1:1,000 dilution; mouse anti-Flag (Sigma Aldrich), 1:1,000 dilution; mouse anti-alpha tubulin (Sigma Aldrich), 1:1,000 dilution; chicken anti-TrkB (Abcam) 1:15,000 dilution; rabbit anti-TrkB (Cell Signaling Technology) 1:1,000 dilution; rabbit anti-phospho TrkB (Cell Signaling Technology) 1:1,000 dilution. Appropriate IRDYE infrared secondary antibodies (LI-COR Biosciences) or biotinylated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.) were purchased and used at a dilution of 1:10,000.

We performed western blot experiments on hippocampal tissue lysates and protein levels were quantified after separation by acrylamide gel electrophoresis (gradient 12-7.5 %) and transfer to a nitrocellulose membrane, as previously described [19 (link), 72 (link)]. Membranes were incubated overnight at 4° C with the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti-phospho NMDA receptor 2A (1:250, Abcam), mouse anti- NMDA receptor 1 (1:2000, BD Bioscience), mouse anti- PSD95 (1:1000, Abcam), mouse anti-CREB (1:750, Cell Signaling) and rabbit anti-phospho CREB (1:1000, Cell Signaling), rabbit anti-CaMKII and rabbit anti-phospho CaMKII (1:1000, Cell Signaling), rabbit anti-TrkB (1:1000, Cell signaling), rabbit anti-BDNF (1:1000, Abcam) and mouse anti-alpha-tubulin (1:30000; Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Incubations with secondary antibodies were done for 2 hours at room temperature with anti-rabbit or anti-mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) at 1:10000 dilutions (LI-COR Biosciences GmbH, Germany). Immunoreactivity was detected with LI-COR® Odyssey® system (LI-COR Biosciences, USA) by infrared fluorescence and quantified with ImageJ 1.48v software (NIH, MA, USA) by densitometry analysis of the immunoreactive bands.

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.
