Company:

Invitrogen

Product Name:

Galectin 3 Monoclonal Antibody

Catalog Number:

14-5301-82

Clone Number:

M3/38

I utilize Galectin-3 antibody staining to assess lysosomal membrane integrity in my studies. I observe the recruitment of Gal3 to damaged lysosomes, which allows me to evaluate the lysosomal stress responses induced by LLoMe.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Methanol fixed cells

Primary Incubation

1:100

Blocking Agent

Sapnin, Donkey Serum, BSA

Secondary Incubation

Anti-Rat AF594

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Confocal microscopy

Results Summary

In my imaging, the red signal (Galectin-3) appears as puncta that localize to sites of lysosomal damage.The green signal (LAMP1) marks the lysosomes, and the overlap confirms Gal3 recruitment to compromised lysosomal membranes.

Summary

The Good

Specific signal.

The Bad

None.

The Bottom Line

This is a good antibody because it specifically detects Galectin-3, producing clear puncta that make lysosomal damage easy to visualize alongside LAMP1.
