Secondary alexa fluor antibodies 488 and 546

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in France, Germany

Secondary Alexa Fluor antibodies (488 and 546) are fluorescently-labeled secondary antibodies used for detection in immunoassays and other biological applications. Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa Fluor 546 are the specific fluorophores attached to the secondary antibodies. These antibodies are designed to recognize and bind to primary antibodies, amplifying the signal for improved visualization and quantification.

Immunofluorescence Labeling of Tissue Sections

The fresh frozen sections were fixed in cold methanol (−20 °C for 20 min), washed with PBS several times and incubated with blocking solution (PBS supplemented with 1% BSA and 4% donkey serum) followed by the addition anti-CD36 (EMD Millipore, #MAB1258) and anti-acetyl-α-tubulin (Lys40) (Cell Signaling Technologie®, # 5335S) antibodies. Subsequently, the sections were washed and primary antibody detection was conducted with compatible Alexa Fluor® -488 and -546 secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes®). Conventional immunofluorescence in fixed tissue was performed by incubating washed sections in blocking solution (PBS containing 4% donkey serum, 1% BSA, and 0.4% Triton™ X-100) for 30 min. Using the same buffer solution composition, the sections were incubated over night at 4 °C with primary antibody anti-OMP (WAKO, Ltd. Japan #544–10001) or anti-TUBB3 (Aviva System Biology, CA #ARP63784). After incubation with the primary antibody, OE sections were rinsed in PBS and incubated with compatible Alexa Fluor® -488 and -546 secondary antibodies for 120 min. Sections were then rinsed with PBS and counterstained with DAPI for nuclear labeling. Staining controls were performed to assure the specificity of CD36 labeling (Fig. S3).

For immunostaining experiments, nt and Cdk5 shRNA HUH7 cells were seeded into 8–well ibiTreat µ‐slides (Ibidi GmbH, Munich, Germany). Cells were washed with ice‐cold PBS+ Ca2+/Mg2+ once and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, before being washed with PBS once. In order to permeabilize the cells, 0.2% Triton X‐100 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) was applied for 20 minutes. Unspecific antibody binding sites were blocked by incubation with 0.2 % bovine serum albumin (BSA; Sigma Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) in PBS for 20 minutes. Afterward, cells were incubated with primary antibodies against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; 1:150, Cell Signaling Technologies, 4267) and early endosome antigen 1 (1:150, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐6415) for 1 hour. Thereafter, cells were washed with PBS and incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 and 546 secondary antibodies (1:400, Molecular Probes/Invitrogen, A – 11008, A – 11056) together with 5 µg/µL Hoechst 33342 (1:200, Sigma Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) in PBS containing 0.2% BSA for 30 minutes. Each well was then covered with FluorSave reagent mounting medium (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and glass coverslips. Images were taken with a Leica SP8 confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany).

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.
