WB
Western blot analysis of FABP4 on different lysates with Rabbit anti-FABP4 antibody at 1/5,000 dilution.
Lane 1: Mouse white adipose tissue lysate,
Lane 2: Mouse brown adipose tissue lysate,
Lane 3: Mouse kidney tissue lysate (negative),
Lane 4: Rat white adipose tissue lysate,
Lane 5: Rat brown adipose tissue lysate,
Lane 6: Rat kidney tissue lysate (negative),
Lysates/proteins at 10 µg/Lane.
Exposure time: 3 minutes 10 seconds;
4-20% 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 1/5,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
ICC/IF
Immunocytochemistry analysis of HAEC cells labeling FABP4 with Rabbit anti-FABP4 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-FABP4 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-F
Immunofluorescence analysis of frozen mouse adipose tissue labeling FABP4 with Rabbit anti-FABP4 antibody.
The tissues were blocked in 3% BSA for 30 minutes 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 (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/200 dilution. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
