Antibody information

Rabbit monoclonal IgG

Company: Abcam

Antibody: Tau (phospho S198)

Catalog number: ab79540

Summary: Rabbit monoclonal IgG against a phospho-specific peptide corresponding to residues surrounding serine 198 of human Tau. Reacts with human by western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry (paraffin). Unsuitable for flow cytometry.

Validation Method

Western blot

Sample

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.

Blocking agent

5% BSA in 1X TBST.

Primary incubation

1:500 dilution in blocking solution overnight at 4 °C.

Secondary incubation

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

Detection

Li-Cor Odyssey CLx imaging station.
