Ar 441 antibody

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

The AR-441 antibody is a laboratory reagent produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology. The antibody specifically recognizes the androgen receptor (AR) protein, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression related to male sexual development and function. The AR-441 antibody can be used in various immunoassay techniques, such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry, to study the expression and distribution of the androgen receptor in biological samples.

COS-7 cells were transfected with AR-FL, AR-Q784*, or AR-K823*. NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagents (Thermo Scientific Cat. # 78833) were used to extract nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins following manufacturer's protocol. Immunoblot analysis was then performed as described above. For immunofluorescence staining, cells were fixed with methanol and then incubated with AR-441 antibody (Santa Cruz), followed by incubation with fluorescence labeled secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488, Molecular Probes). Micrographs were taken under EVOS auto fluorescence microscope (ThermoFisher) at the same microscope settings.

The PCa cell lines LNCaP, 22Rv1, and LAPC-4 were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Media Tech/Cellgro) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 2 mM l-glutamine. LNCaP and LAPC-4 cells were cultured on dishes or plates coated with PBS containing 0.01% poly-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) to facilitate cell growth. All cell line cultures were maintained at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator.
One day prior to transfection, cells were seeded at 60% confluence in RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS. The SSOs were delivered at a final concentration of 5–20 nM using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Cells were harvested 48 h after SSO transfection for western blotting and qRT-PCR.
A list of all SSO sequences screened in this work is available upon request.
The primary antibodies used in this work were as follows: AR antibody (441) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, GAPDH antibody (D16H11) from Cell Signaling Technology (Boston, MA, USA), and anti-α-tubulin antibody from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Secondary antibodies against rabbit (NA934) and mouse (NA931) primary antibodies were purchased from GE Healthcare.

LNCaP cells were starved in phenol red free RPMI supplemented with 5% charcoal-stripped serum (CSS). After 4 days, cells were seeded into BD Falcon Culture slides (Fisher Scientific) (10,000 cells/well in 300μL volume). After 24h, cells were treated with 100 μL of 4X VPC-13566, enzalutamide or the vehicle DMSO. For the siRNA control, cells were treated with 10nM (3.6 pmol) siAR-4 or siSCR control for 24 h using Lipofectamine RNAiMax (Life Technologies) as per manufacturer’s instructions. The next day after treatment, cells were induced by adding 1nM R1881 for 24h, then fixed in 4% PFA. For PLA analysis, LNCaP cells were blocked with 3% BSA and incubated with 1/200 dilution of AR antibody (441) (sc-7305, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and Bag1L antibody (16148-1-AP, Proteintech). Protein-protein interactions were analyzed using Duolink-based in situ PLA (Sigma-Aldrich), according to manufacturer’s instructions. Signals were quantified using a confocal microscope and the Duolink ImageTool. For IF, AR antibody (441) at 1/1000 dilution was used.

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.
