WB
Western blot analysis of Beta Catenin on different lysates with Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 1/1,000 dilution.
Lane 1: NIH/3T3 cell lysate (10 µg/Lane),
Lane 2: Rat brain tissue lysate (20 µg/Lane),
Exposure time: 30 seconds;
6% SDS-PAGE gel
Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at room temperature for 2 hours. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody at 1:100,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
IHC
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse colon tissue with Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 1/1,000 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 2 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
ICC/IF
Immunocytochemistry analysis of C6 cells labeling Beta Catenin with Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 1/100 dilution.
Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with 1% BSA in 10% negative goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 1/100 dilution in 1% BSA in PBST overnight at 4 ℃. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI. Beta tubulin (red) was stained at 1/100 dilution overnight at +4℃. Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (594) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution.
IF-P
Immunofluorescence analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse colon tissue labeling Beta Catenin with Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 1/100 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 10% negative goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature, washed with PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (green) at 1/100 dilution overnight at 4 ℃, washed with PBS. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
IF-F
Immunofluorescence analysis of frozen mouse colon tissue with Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 1/200 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for about 2 minutes in microwave oven. The tissues were blocked in 10% negative goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature, washed with PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (green) at 1/200 dilution overnight at 4 ℃, washed with PBS. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
FC
Flow cytometric analysis of A431 cells labeling Beta Catenin.
Cells were fixed and permeabilized. Then stained with the primary antibody ( 1/1,000) (red) compared with Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (green). After incubation of the primary antibody at +4℃ for an hour, the cells were stained with a iFluor™ 488 conjugate-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at +4℃. Unlabelled sample was used as a control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; black).
IP
Beta Catenin was immunoprecipitated from 0.2 mg rat brain tissue lysate with Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 2 µg/25 µl agarose. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using Rabbit anti-Beta Catenin antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. Anti-Rabbit IgG for IP Nano-secondary antibody at 1/5,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
