Anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 Antibody Picoband®

Western blot analysis of Caveolin-1/CAV1 using anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 antibody (PA1514).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human A549 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human Hela whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human Hacat whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: human U87 whole cell lysates,
Lane 5: rat lung tissue lysates,
Lane 6: mouse lung tissue lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PA1514) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Caveolin-1/CAV1 at approximately 22 kDa. The expected band size for Caveolin-1/CAV1 is at 20 kDa.

IHC analysis of Caveolin-1/CAV1 using anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 antibody (PA1514).
Caveolin-1/CAV1 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human melanoma tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 μg/ml rabbit anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 Antibody (PA1514) overnight at 4°C. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using HRP Conjugated Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (Catalog # SV0002) with DAB as the chromogen.

Flow Cytometry analysis of A549 cells using anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 antibody (PA1514).
Overlay histogram showing A549 cells stained with PA1514 (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 Antibody (PA1514, 1 μg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10 μg/1x10⁶ cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1 μg/1x10⁶) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.

IF analysis of Caveolin-1/CAV1 using anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 antibody (PA1514).
Caveolin-1/CAV1 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human glioma tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 5 μg/mL rabbit anti-Caveolin-1/CAV1 Antibody (PA1514) overnight at 4°C. DyLight®550 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (BA1135) was used as secondary antibody at 1:500 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.
