Application
Western blot analysis of Ankyrin G expression in non-transfected: (A) and human Ankyrin G transfected: (B) 293T whole cell lysates.
Application
Western blot analysis of Ankyrin G expression in rat brain tissue extract.
Application
Immunoperoxidase staining of formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded human epididymus tissue showing cytoplasmic, membrane, and nuclear staining of glandular cells at low (A) and high (B) magnification. Kindly provided by The Swedish Human Protein Atlas (HPA) program.
Application
Immunofluorescence staining of normal mouse skin frozen section showing membrane staining.
Application
Western blot analysis of Ankyrin G expression in Caco-2 (A) and IMR-32 (B) whole cell lysates.
WB
G. Western blotting of AnkG expression of hippocampus in SSTR3+/+ and SSTR3−/− mice, using β-tubulin as a reference.
IF
Neurons in vivo and in vitro from Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice and human brain samples have altered axon initial segment (AIS) lengths. (A) Immunofluorescence staining of paraffin-sectioned samples of human cerebral cortex. Red, AnkG (AIS); blue, DAPI (nuclei). Scale bar, 50 µm. (B) Statistics of staining results in (A). The number of neurons clearly visible with or without AIS was counted in the two samples. Data analyzed by Fisher's exact test. (C) Statistics performed on the lengths of the AIS in brain slices from human samples. Student's t-test was used for analysis. (D) Immunofluorescence staining in coronal frozen sections at the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Slices were from 6-month-old wild-type, APP/PS1, 5xFAD, and 3xTg mice. The dashed line is the outline of the cluster of cell bodies in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Red, AnkG (AIS), green, MAP2 (soma and dendrites), blue, DAPI (nuclei). Scale bar, 50 µm. (F) Immunofluorescence staining of DIV 7 cultured neurons from wild-type, APP/PS1, 5xFAD, and 3xTg E18.5 mice. The segment between the two arrow marks is the AIS identified by AnkG. Red, AnkG, green, MAP2. Scale bar, 20 µm. (E and G) Statistics performed on the lengths of the AIS in brain slices and cultured neurons from the four strains. The upper panel shows the results of brain slices, and the lower panel shows the results of cultured neurons. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for analysis. ns, not significant; *p < 0.05; ****p < 0.0001.
