Western blot: 1:100-1:500 using ECL. Suggested dilution buffer is PBS and blocking buffer is PBS containing 5% milk. Recognizes 36 kDa monomers, dimmers and trimers depending on sample preparation. Boiling induces the aggregation of rhodopsin.

Western blot of isolated bovine rod outer segment labeled for rhodopsin (~85% of rod outer segment protein) with the rho 1D4 antibody. Amount of rod outer segments applied to the SDS gel: (a) 2.5 mg; (b) 0.63 mg; (c) 0.16 mg; (d) 0.04 mg. At higher protein quantities, dimers, trimers and tetramers of rhodopsin can be observed along with the monomer.

Immunohisto/cytochemistry: 1:100-1:500 on paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde fixed frozen tissue sections. Preferred fixation is paraformaldehyde for 4 hours at 2-8°C. Suggested permeabilization method is 0.2% Triton X-100.

Immunoprecipitation

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

TREX1/DNASE III, the most abundant 3'-5' DNA exonuclease in mammalian cells, is tail-anchored on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Mutations at the N-terminus affecting TREX1 DNase activity are associated with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions such as Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS). Mutations in

Incorporation of short epitope tags into proteins for recognition by commercially available monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies has greatly facilitated the detection, characterization, localization, and purification of heterologously expressed proteins for structure-function studies. A number of tags have been developed, but
