Product Name:

58K Golgi Protein Antibody

Catalog Number:

NB600-412

Clone Number:

58K-9

Primary mouse brain endothelial cells were stained with 58K Golgi protein antibody to differentiate secreted proteins in Golgi apparatus and cytoplasm.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Mouse brain endothelial cells

Primary Incubation

1:200 in PBS + 0.01% Triton-X100, overnight at 4C

Blocking Agent

PBS + 0.01% Triton-X100 + 10% BSA

Secondary Incubation

Mouse anti-Goat IgG AF594 1:500 :500 in PBS+0.1% Triton-X100, 2hr at 25C

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

Epifluorescence microscopy

Results Summary

Staining with 58K antibody was evident throughout the entire endothelial cell. Signal was higher at the perinuclear area in some cells but still present in the cytoplasm.

Summary

The Good

Inexpensive.

The Bad

High background, low specificity.

The Bottom Line

This antibody did not adequately label Golgi apparatus in mouse brain endothelial cells. While perinuclear staining was evident, background staining was substantial.
