Antibodies to β actin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Germany

Antibodies to β-actin are a type of protein that specifically bind to the β-actin protein, which is a common structural component found in the cytoskeleton of all eukaryotic cells. These antibodies can be used in various laboratory techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence, to detect and quantify the presence of β-actin in biological samples.

Whole cell extracts were created by lysing cell pellets with RIPA buffer (Boston BioProducts, Ashland, MA) for 20 min on ice, and then lysates were cleared by centrifugation for 10 minutes at 15,000 rpm at 4°C. Samples were loaded onto NuPage 4–12% Bis-Tris gradient gels (Novex, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and separated by electrophoresis in MOPS-SDS running buffer. Proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes via the iBlot dry transfer system (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Blots were blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 5% nonfat milk in PBS-Tween-20 (Westnet Inc., Canton, MA) and incubated in appropriate primary antibodies diluted in blocking buffer overnight at 4°C (Supplemental Table S1). Blots were then incubated in HRP-linked secondary antibody (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ) at 1:4,000 dilution in blocking buffer. Proteins were detected using the ECL2 western blotting substrate kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and imaged with a FluorChem HD2 imager (Cell Biosciences, Santa Clara, CA). After initial development, membranes were re-probed with antibodies to β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) as a loading control.

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.
