Gephyrin antibody - 147 011 K.O.

Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Expansion Microscopy (ExM) is a sample preparation and imaging method which employs a dense interconnected web of swellable polymer within a biological specimen. A significantly higher effective resolution can be achieved with a standard microscope setup. For additional experimental details, please refer to the Remarks section.

In antibody-based DNA-PAINT (Point Accumulation in Nanoscale Topography), a short oligomeric docking strand is coupled to a specific antibody. The transient association of the fluorophore to the antibody is mediated by the pairing of a short fluorescently labeled complementary imager DNA strand. DNA-PAINT allows super-resolution imaging and the imaging of a huge number of antibodies on the same biological sample in a single multiplex experiment. For additional experimental details refer to the Remarks section.

Clarity is a sample preparation method for clearing, immunolabeling and volume imaging of large biological samples. Clearing is carried out by SDS and Focusclear treatment. For additional experimental details, please refer to the Remarks section.

Electron microscopy (EM) is a microscopy technique that detects the scatter of electrons through thin tissue sections. In Immuno-EM the antigen is usually revealed by colloidal gold conjugated secondary antibodies linking electron dense structures to antigen-bound primary antibodies.
