Descripción

General description

Phosphacan is a soluble nervous tissue-specific proteoglycan that is thought to regulate axonal outgrowth. It is synthesized by glia and binds to neurons and to the neural cell adhesion molecules tenascin, N-CAM or NG-CAM but not to laminin and fibronectin. Phosphacan acts as a potent inhibitor of cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth.

Specificity

Phosphacan (Receptor Tyrosine Phosphatase Beta).

Immunogen

Mixture of chicken chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.

Application

Detect Phosphacan using this Anti-Phosphacan Antibody validated for use in ELISA, WB, IH(P).

Western blot: 1:1,000

Samples must be digested with chondroitinase prior to running on SDS gels because undigested phosphacan is too large for most gels. Treatment is at a concentration of chondroitinase of 10U/mL in Tris-HCL pH 8.0. Make tissue or cell extract in 20-50mM Tris pH 7.6-8.0 with 0.15M NaCl in the presence of protease inhibitors. Add 1 microliter of enzyme to 30 microliters of extract and incubate 30 minutes at 37C. Then add SDS sample buffer, heat or boil sample as normal for SDS reducing samples.

Immunohistochemistry: 1:20 Works on cold methanol or paraformaldehyde fixed tissues. Works on paraffin embedded tissues. Chondrotinase treatment of tissue consists of treating mounted tissue section with a solution of PBS plus 0.5U/mL of Chondroitinase ABC for 30 minutes at room temperature prior to blocking and antibody staining.

Immunocytochemistry: not tested

ELISA: Excellent for core and monomer protein.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Tissue culture supernatant. Liquid. Contains no preservative.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
