MAP2

Catalog Number:

AB5622

The aim of the research was to understand if Pur- alpha prevented mislocalization of ALS associated FUS protein in neurons. For this we used MAP2 as a neuronal marker.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Rat motor neurons

Primary Incubation

1:500

Blocking Agent

10% horse serum with 2% BSA

Secondary Incubation

1:500

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Confocal microscope

Results Summary

Cells were labeled with anti-MAP2 antibody (1:500, Millipore) and Alexa Fluor 647 goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:500, Life Technologies). Z stacks of images were captured sequentially to eliminate bleed-through of the fluorophores. Loss of MAP-2 fluorescence was taken as a measure of cell death.
