Our lab's longstanding goal is to unravel new protein biomarkers in cancer and elucidate their functional role in tumorigenesis. Galectins are beta-galactoside binding proteins and have a high affinity towards oligosaccharides. Galectin-1 is the prototype of the galectin family and has been implicated in a wide variety of cancers and different tumorigenic processes. Here we detect galectin-1 expression in colon tissues using immunohistochemistry to visualize its distribution in different compartments of the tissue. It was observed that using this antibody we can detect galectin-1 (brown) protein in the stromal component surrounding the crypt cells.
Immunohistochemistry
Human colon tissue
1:500 in block buffer
Fish gelatin or 0.5% FBS in PBS
DAB staining using Vectastain
Nucleus stain
IX81 microscope
Gal-1 staining is limited to the stromal component of the tissue. The brown staining is gal-1 and could be seen spread out below the crypts.
None
Very clean antibody no background
Polyclonal
Good antibody to detect gal-1 in tissues
