tau Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS628311

Tau is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein found predominantly on axons. The function of tau is to promote tubulin polymerization and stabilize microtubules. Tau, in its hyperphosphorylated form, is the major component of paired helical filaments (PHF),… More details

Immunofluorescence (IF) of anti-tau antibody

Immunofluorescence analysis of Phospho-Tau pThr212 Antibody was done on 70% confluent log phase SHSY5Y cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Phospho-Tau pThr212 Antibody at 1ug/mL in 1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Alexa flour 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (A11008) at a dilution of 1:400 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI. F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor 594 Phalloidin. Panel d is a merged image showing nuclear and cytoplasmic localization. Panel e is a no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 40X magnification.

Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS) of anti-tau antibody

Flow cytometry analysis of Tau [pT212] was done on SH-SY5Y cells. Cells were fixed with 70% ethanol for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 20 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were labeled with Tau [pT212] Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (red histogram) or with rabbit isotype control (pink histogram) at 3-5 ug/million cells in 2.5% BSA. After incubation at room temperature for 2 hours, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit Secondary Antibody at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature. The representative 10,000 cells were acquired and analyzed for each sample using an Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer. The purple histogram represents unstained control cells and the green histogram represents no-primary-antibody control.

Western Blot (WB) of anti-tau antibody

Western blot analysis of Tau [pT212] was performed by loading 20 ug of Mouse Brain (lane1) and Rat Brain (lane2) tissue lysate using Novex® NuPAGE® 4-12 % Bis-Tris gel (NP0322BOX), XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System (EI0002), Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard (LC5800), and iBlot® Dry Blotting System (IB21001). Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and blocked with 5 % skim milk for 1 hour at room temperature. Tau [pT212] was detected at ~ 42 kDa using Tau [pT212] Rabbit polyclonal Antibody at 1:1000 in 5 % skim milk at 4°C overnight on a rocking platform. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody at 1:5000 dilution was used and chemiluminescent detection was performed using Novex® ECL Chemiluminescent Substrate Reagent Kit (WP20005).

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-tau antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
