Mouse monoclonal IgG1

Company: BioLegend

Antibody: Tau

Catalog number: 806501

Summary: Mouse monoclonal IgG1 specific for an epitope that lies between amino acids 6-18 of human Tau. Reacts with human protein by western blot, immunohistochemistry (paraffin) and ELISA.

Western blot

Brains from hTg-Tau and Tau-KO mice. Lysates were prepared by dounce homogenizer in 350 μl of lysis buffer containing 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Triton-X100 and protease, phosphatase, demethylase (500 μM IOX1, 2 μM Daminozide, 10 μM Paragyline Hydrochloride), deacetylase (10 μM Trichostatin A, 5 mM Nicotinamide), O-GlcNAcase (1 μM Thiamet-G) inhibitors.

5% BSA in 1X TBST.

1:1,000 dilution in blocking solution overnight at 4 °C.

1:20,000 dilution IRDye Donkey anti-mouse 800 or IRDye Goat anti-rabbit 680 in blocking solution for 2 h at room temperature.
