Antibody information

Mouse monoclonal IgG2a

Company: Sigma-Aldrich

Antibody: Gravin

Catalog number: G3795

Summary: Mouse monoclonal IgG2a against fractionated membrane cortex proteins from human neuron cell lines NT2-N and SK-N-BE(2). Reacts with mouse, rat, human. Suitable for western blot, immunocytochemistry and immunoprecipitation.

Validation Method

Western blot | Immunohistochemistry

Sample

WB: Wild-type and Gravin null mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Cells were homogenized in HSE lysis buffer (20mM Hepes pH7.4, 150mM NaCl, 5mM EDTA and 1% Triton X-100) or RIPA buffer (50mM Tris pH7.4, 150mM NaCl, 5mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% Deoxycholate and 0.1% SDS) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (1mM benzamidine, 1mM AEBSF, 2 ug/mL leupeptin, 100nM okadaic acid, 1mM β-glycerophosphate and 20mM sodium fluoride). IHC: Wild-type and Gravin null mouse testis. Testes were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin.

Secondary incubation

WB: anti-mouse HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare) IHC: anti-mouse secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488(Life technologies).

Detection

WB: enhanced chemiluminescence (Thermo Scientific).

IHC: Yokogawa CSU10 spinning disk mounted on a DM16000B inverted microscope (Leica, ×63 PlanApocromat NA 1.4 Oil Objective) with an Andor ILE laser launch with 50 mW Coherent OBIS lasers (405, 488, 561, and 642).
