Sourced in United States, United Kingdom, Germany

Anti-GFAP is a laboratory reagent that binds to and detects the Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), an intermediate filament protein found in astrocytes and other glial cells in the central nervous system. It is commonly used as a marker for the identification and visualization of astrocytes in various research applications.

Western blotting was performed as described in our earlier studies [26 (link),50 (link),51 (link)]. Equal amounts of proteins were electrophoresed in 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The blot was probed with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. The following are the primary antibodies used in this study: anti-iNOS (1:1000, BD Biosciences), anti-Iba1 (1:1000, Abcam), anti-GFAP (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) and anti-β-actin (1:5000, Abcam) (Table 1). Following the overnight incubation, primary antibodies were removed, the blots were washed with phosphate buffer saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 (PBST) and corresponding infrared fluorophore-tagged secondary antibodies (1:10,000, Jackson Immuno-Research) were added at room temperature. The blots were then incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h. Later, blots were scanned with an Odyssey infrared scanner (Li-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA). Band intensities were quantified using the ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

The brain tissues were homogenized with lysis buffer (PROPREP; iNtRON, Sungnam, Korea; n=8 mice per group) and centrifuged at 2,500×g for 15 min at 4°C. Equal amounts of total protein (40 μg) isolated from brain tissues were resolved on 8 or 10 % sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels and then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Hybond ECL; Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Membranes were incubated at roomtemperature for 2 h with anti-Tyrosine hydroxylase (Cell Signaling Mol Neurobiol Technology, Inc.), anti-GFAP (1:1,000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) and anti-β-actin (1:2,500; Sigma-Aldrich). Blots were then incubated at room temperature for 2 h with, corresponding peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit antibodies (1:2,000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.). Immunoreactive proteins were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence Western blotting detection system. The relative density of the protein bands was scanned densitometrically using My Image (SLB, Seoul, Korea) and quantified by Lab Works 4.0 (UVP, Upland, CA, USA).

The immunohistochemical study was performed as previously described [57 (link),58 (link)]. Primary antibodies used were: anti-GFAP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:100 in PBS, v/v), anti-Iba1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:100 in PBS, v/v), anti-TH (Millipore, 1:500 in PBS, v/v, Burlington, MA, USA), anti-DAT (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:300 in PBS, v/v), anti-α-syn (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:100 in PBS, v/v). The slices were then rinsed with PBS and treated with secondary antibody the next day. A biotin-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG and an avidin-biotin peroxidase complex were used to identify specific labeling (Vector). Five stained sections from each mouse were scored blindly and examined using a Leica DM6 microscope (Leica Microsystems SpA, Milan, Italy) in accordance with standard procedures [59 (link),60 (link)]. The histogram profile is related to the positive pixel intensity value obtained.

All spinal cord tissues (T10 spinous process) obtained at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days were homogenized in lysis buffer (Kangwei Biotechnology, Beijing, China). Equal amounts of proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Resolved proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Whatman, Dassel, Germany), which was incubated with rabbit anti-GFAP (1:1000), goat anti-P2X4 (1:1000), and anti-β-actin (1:2000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) antibodies overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, membranes were rewarmed, washed, and horseradish peroxidase was added to label the secondary antibody. The β-actin antibody was used as a loading control for all experiments. Immunoreactive bands were visualized with an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Beyotime, Beijing, China). Grayscale values of bands were quantified with ImageJ software (NIH). Relative protein expression levels were calculated according to the ratio between target grayscale values and loading control grayscale values.

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.
