WB
Western blot analysis of MMP-13 on different lysates with Rabbit anti-MMP-13 antibody at 1/5,000 dilution.
Lane 1: Mouse articular cartilage tissue lysate (40 µg/Lane),
Lane 2: Mouse skeletal muscle tissue lysate (negative) (40 µg/Lane),
Lane 3: Mouse embryo tissue lysate (40 µg/Lane),
Exposure time: Lane 1: 30 seconds; Lane 2-3: 3 minutes; 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 primary antibody dilution at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
IHC
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse knee joint tissue with Rabbit anti-MMP-13 antibody at 1/10,000 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 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody at 1/10,000 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.
