Anti actin antibody

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The anti-actin antibody is a laboratory reagent used to detect and quantify the presence of the actin protein in biological samples. Actin is a ubiquitous cytoskeletal protein found in all eukaryotic cells and plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. The anti-actin antibody can be used in techniques such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry to identify and analyze actin expression and distribution within cells and tissues.

Cells were treated with rHP1286 (1 μg/ml) for 15 min. Unbound protein was removed by washing with PBS. Cells were further incubated with an anti-His-tag antibody (Thermo fisher) (1:1,000 dilution) in FACS buffer (2% BSA in PBS) for 1 h on ice. After incubation, cells were washed twice with FACS buffer and stained with an Alexa 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody (Molecular Probes) (1:5,000 dilution) for 30 min on ice, followed by washing with FACS buffer. Binding of HP1286 was analyzed by flow cytometry using an LSRFortessa flow cytometer. FlowJo software (Tree Star, USA) was used for the data analysis. Cell lysates from untreated or rHP1286-treated samples were immunoblotted with anti-His tag antibody. Anti-actin antibody (Thermo Scientific) (1:5,000 dilution) was used to confirm equal loading.

Anti-phospho-c-Fos (Thr325) antibody was from Bioss antibodies. An anti-actin antibody (Thermo Scientific) (1:5,000 dilution) was used to confirm equal loading. The secondary antibodies included goat anti-rabbit IgG and goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated to IRdye800CW (Li-COR) (1:10,000 dilution). Band intensities were quantified using the ImageJ software, and actin was used to normalize the total amount of protein loaded in each well.

Heart tissues were homogenized and lysed with RIPA buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate with protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails. Lysates were centrifuged at 20,000 g for 40 min at 4 °C and the supernatants were recovered. Total protein concentrations in the supernatants were measured using a bicinchoninic acid assay (Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit; Thermo Scientific). For immunoblot analysis, extracted protein samples were separated on 7.5% Mini-PROTEAN TGX precast gradient gels (Bio-Rad) and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% FBS in Tris-buffered saline plus 0.05% Tween and incubated overnight at 4 °C with an anti-NRF2 antibody (1:1000; Active Motif) and an anti-actin antibody (1:5000; Thermo Fisher Scientific) as a loading control. Primary antibodies were detected with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated species-specific secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare) and ECL plus (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using a LAS 3000 analyzer (GE Healthcare). Immunoblot band intensities were measured using NIH ImageJ software63 (link). Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA; Sigma-Aldrich) was administered intraperitoneally to male mice at 8 weeks of age at a dose of 350 mg/kg in corn oil. Uncropped scans of blots are shown in Supplementary Fig. 14a, b, d.

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.
