Excellent, submitted by Xinshuo Wang, Xi’an Jiaotong University on 2026-02-25

SKU	A03085
Application	Western blot
Sample	MADB106 rat mammary carcinoma cells
Sample Processing Description	MADB106 cells under normal culture conditions , MADB106 cells treated with agonist , MADB106 cells treated with inhibitor
Other Reagents	RIPA Lysis Buffer, Protease Inhibitor, Resolving Gel Solution ,Transfer Buffer ,Blocking Buffer
Primary Antibody	Aquaporin 5/AQP5 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Incubation	1:2000, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody	1:10,000, HRP-conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG
Secondary Incubation	1h at 37℃
Detection	Substrate: ECL substrate, Imaging system:ChemiDoc MP
Results Summary	AQP5 (Aquaporin 5) is a transmembrane water channel protein that primarily regulates cellular water transport and plays a critical and complex role in tumor progression. In breast cancer, high AQP5 expression is often associated with increased tumor invasiveness, lymph node metastasis, and poor patient prognosis. In this experiment, AQP5 protein levels were markedly increased in cells treated with the agonist, whereas they were significantly reduced in cells treated with the inhibitor.

The Anti-TRPV1 antibody (A00128-4) showed clear and correctly positioned bands in WB of MADB106 rat breast cancer cells, with increased TRPV1 expression upon agonist treatment and decreased expression upon inhibitor treatment.

SKU	A00128-4
Application	Western blot
Sample	Rat MADB106 breast cancer cells
Sample Processing Description	Normally cultured MADB106 cells, MADB106 cells treated with an agonist, MADB106 cells treated with an inhibitor
Other Reagents	RIPA lysis buffer (Cat. No. AR0102, Bosterbio, Wuhan) Protease inhibitor, Running buffer, Transfer buffer, Blocking buffer
Primary Antibody	TRPV1 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Incubation	1:2000, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody	1:10,000, HRP-conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG
Secondary Incubation	1h at 37℃
Detection	Substrate: ECL substrate, Imaging system:ChemiDoc MP
Results Summary	The role of TRPV1 in breast cancer research is highly complex, varying with cell type, tumor subtype, and tumor microenvironment, and in some cases even showing contradictory effects. The current consensus is that TRPV1 is not only a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer but also an important prognostic and regulatory factor. Experimental results show that TRPV1 protein expression markedly increases in cells treated with an agonist, while it decreases in cells treated with an inhibitor.

The Anti-c-FOS antibody (M00297) showed clear and specific immunofluorescence staining in mouse brain, with markedly increased c-Fos expression in neurons of the acute ischemic region compared to normal brain.

Excellent, submitted by Qihang Yang, Huazhong University of Science and Technology on 2026-02-12

SKU	M00297
Application	Immunocytochemistry
Sample	mouse brain
Sample Processing Description	Normal brain tissue and brain tissue from a cerebral infarction model
Other Reagents	Goat serum, DAB Chromogenic Solution, Anti-fade mounting medium
Primary Antibody	c-Fos Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody
Primary Incubation	1:200, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody	DyLight 594 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L)
Secondary Incubation	45 min at 37℃
Detection	Imaging system:Leica DM2500
Results Summary	c-Fos is a marker of activated neural cells, especially neurons. During the acute phase of cerebral infarction, as a strong stress and injury stimulus, it drives c-Fos expression in the brain—particularly in the peri-infarct region—far higher than in normal resting brain. The experimental results show clear staining of positive cells, and the expression levels are consistent with expectations.

The Anti-FAP antibody (M00422) showed clear and specific IHC staining in human hepatocellular carcinoma, with low expression in adjacent normal tissue and strong expression in tumor stroma.

Excellent, submitted by Fei Long, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University on 2026-02-12

SKU	M00422
Application	Immunohistochemistry
Sample	human liver cancer
Sample Processing Description	Collected clinical surgical human hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent peritumoral tissues were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin.
Other Reagents	Goat serum, DAB Chromogenic Solution
Primary Antibody	FAP1 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody
Primary Incubation	1:200, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody	Two-step IHC kit (Immunohistochemistry kit
Secondary Incubation	30 min at 37℃
Detection	Imaging system:Leica DM2500
Results Summary	FAP (fibroblast activation protein) expression is mainly associated with stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment and is very low in normal human tissues. Its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is complex, but overall it functions as an important pro-tumor factor. High FAP expression is associated with poor prognosis. It can remodel the extracellular matrix, promote tumor invasion and metastasis, and suppress anti-tumor immunity. In this study, FAP showed low expression in peritumoral tissues (close to normal tissue) and high expression in the tumor stroma of HCC.

In this experiment, TH immunofluorescence was performed to observe the distribution of dopaminergic neurons in the striatum. The results show clear staining and precise localization.

Other Reagents	Goat serum, DAPI, and an anti-fade mounting medium.
Primary Antibody	ZO1 tight junction protein/TJP1 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Incubation	1:200, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody	Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, Fluoro488 Conjugated
Secondary Incubation	45 min at 37℃
Detection	Imaging system:Leica DM2500
Results Summary	Caco-2 cells are a “gold standard” in vitro model for studying intestinal epithelial function, and ZO-1 is a key marker of barrier integrity. The images show immunofluorescence staining of ZO-1 in normally cultured Caco-2 cells to evaluate antibody performance. Clear membrane localization and accurate staining indicate that this antibody is suitable for downstream research applications.

IF using Anti-CD31 antibody (A01513-2) showed specific, strong, and stable endothelial staining, revealing expanded and inflamed microvessels in treated mouse skin compared to controls.

Excellent, submitted by Wenbo Wang, Shandong University on 2026-01-30

SKU	A01513-2
Application	Immunofluorescence
Sample	Paraffin-embedded mouse skin sections
Sample Processing Description	Mouse skin samples were divided into three groups: (i) normal control, (ii) congestion group, treated with ethanol, and (iii) inflammation group, stimulated with LPS.
Other Reagents	Goat serum, DAPI, Anti-fade mounting medium
Primary Antibody	CD31/Pecam1 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Incubation	1:200, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody	DyLight 488–conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L)) (Boster, BA1127)
Secondary Incubation	1:500, 45 min at 37℃
Detection	Imaging system:Leica DM2500
Results Summary	IF staining with Boster CD31 antibody produced high-quality vascular images. In the control group, vessels were small and well-defined. In the congestion group (ethanol-treated), CD31 staining revealed markedly dilated vascular lumens. In the inflammation group (LPS-treated), vessel dilation was accompanied by changes in tissue spacing. Combined with Prussian blue staining and magnetic signal measurements, we observed that despite extreme vessel dilation in the congestion group, magnetic signals were not significantly elevated; only the inflammation group, with extensive macrophage infiltration and uptake, showed high magnetic signals.

SKU	MA1045
Application	Immunofluorescence
Sample	rat spinal tissue
Sample Processing Description	Paraffin-embedded transverse sections of rat spinal cord were prepared after formalin fixation.
Other Reagents	Tris-EDTA Antigen Retrieval Buffer (50×, pH 9.0), DAPI
Primary Antibody	GFAP Antibody (Monoclonal, G-A-5)
Primary Incubation	1:200, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody	Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, Fluoro488 Conjugated
Secondary Incubation	45 minutes in 37℃

Results Summary	GFAP is a marker of astrocytes. In this experiment, immunostaining for GFAP was used to label astrocytes in the gray matter of the spinal cord to observe their distribution, density, and morphology. The results showed that the labeled protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter had short, thick, and highly branched processes with rough surfaces, forming a dense “bushy” network tightly surrounding neuronal cell bodies and synapses, consistent with theoretical expectations and demonstrating excellent staining.
