Immunofluorescence using Anti-GFAP antibody (MA1045) clearly labeled protoplasmic astrocytes in the spinal cord gray matter, showing dense, bushy processes surrounding neurons, with excellent specificity and staining.

Excellent, submitted by on
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 ReagentsTris-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℃
Detection Imaging system:Leica DM2500
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.

Western blot analysis of Drosophila ovaries from three fly strains showed comparable Phb2 protein levels across all samples. Consistent bands at 30 kDa confirmed expected molecular weight, with β-Actin used as a loading control to verify equal protein loa

Application Western Blot
Sample HEK293T whole cell lysates
Sample Processing Description HEK293T cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing SP only (and not Env or Rem) and lysed using RIPA buffer. A total of 80 µg of protein was resolved on a 4–12% gradient SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to a membrane. The membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature with 5% non-fat milk in PBS-Tween (PBS-T). After washing three times with 1× PBS-T (10 minutes each), the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with varying dilutions ofthe SP antibody prepared in 2% non-fat milk (1:500; 1:1000; 1:2000). Following three additional washes with PBS-T (10 minutes each), the membrane was incubated with anti-rabbit secondary antibody, washed again three times, and developed using ECL Plus.
Primary Incubation The membrane was incubated with the SP primary antibody (1:500; 1:1000; 1:2000) overnight at 4 °C.
Secondary Antibody Anti-rabbit-HRP-conjugated secondary antibody
Secondary Incubation Dilution: 1:25,000 in PBS-T/2% milk
Other Reagents used 1× RIPA lysis buffer
1× PBS-T washing buffer (T = 1% Tween 20)
Non-fat milk (for blocking and antibody dilution)
Anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated secondary antibody
Detection Signal was developed using ECL Plus chemiluminescent substrate
Results Summary The SP antibody demonstrated strong performance across all tested dilutions, producing clear and specific signal detection. Dilutions of 1:1000 and 1:2000 yielded the most optimal results, showing minimal background compared to 1:500, which highlights the antibody’s high specificity and sensitivity at these concentrations. To ensure equal protein loading across lanes, the membrane was also probed with a β-actin antibody, confirming equal sample loading and validating the observed signal intensity for SP. Overall, these results demonstrate that the SP antibody is reliable for detecting SP in RIPA-lysed HEK293T samples.

The antibody worked well even though we used fresh frozen brain sections cut at 20 micron thickness thaw-mounted onto microscope slide that were then post-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. The antibody worked equally well when used on fixed brains sectioned

SKU A01394
Application Immunofluorescence
Sample Mouse brain
Primary Antibody Dilution 1:100

Images that were made from fresh frozen cryostat sections, were thaw-mounted onto microscope slides. Mounted sections were later post-fixed with 300 µL of 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes. After fixation and prior to incubation with antibodies, slides were washed 3 times with 300 µL of 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide for 3 minutes per rinse, followed by permeabilization with 300 µL of 0.3% Triton X-100 in 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide for 30 minutes at room temperature, then blocking with 700 µL of 4% donkey serum diluted in 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide + Triton X-100 (blocking buffer) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Slides were incubated with 325 µL of Iba1 (1:100). Concentrations of 1:100 were achieved by diluting 10 µL of antibody in 1,000 µL of blocking buffer; concentrations of 1:250 were achieved by diluting 4 µL of antibody in 1,000 µL of blocking buffer. Sections were incubated overnight at 4 ˚C. On the next day, slides were washed 3 times with 300 µL of 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide for 3 minutes per rinse, then incubated with the secondary antibodies at room temperature, in the dark, for 1 hour. Washing step was repeated then slides were left in the dark to dry. Mounting media was added to cover slip the sections. Slides were kept in the dark at 4 ˚C prior to imaging.

SKU DZ41223
Application IF
Sample Drosophila larval fat body

"We’ve verified the specificity of this custom antibody that Boster generated for us. The antibody "Anti-Fruit Fly Gpdh1 Antibody (DZ41223)” works well for immunofluorescence. A 1:100 dilution of this antibody stains fat body tissues of wild-type larvae but not Gpdh1 mutant. I’m happy to advertise this antibody to the fly community."
