Scientific Data Images for PrPSc Antibody (3F4) - Azide and BSA Free

Western Blot: PrPSc Antibody (3F4)Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-81078]

Western Blot: PrPSc Antibody (3F4) [NBP2-81078] - Human brain cerebral cortex (A), cerebellum (B), and hippocampus (C) lysate samples (35ug protein in RIPA buffer) were resolved on a 10% SDS PAGE gel and blots probed with the chimeric mouse IgG1 version of PrPSc antibody (3F4) [NBP2-81078]. Cerebral cortex and hippocampus samples were probed using 0.001 ug/ml of NBP2-81078, and cerebellum samples with 0.003 ug/ml of NBP2-81078, before detection using an anti-mouse secondary antibody. A primary incubation of 1h was used and protein was detected by chemiluminescence. The predicted running size for unmodified major Prion protein is 27.7 kDa though this protein has several glycosylated forms, may be lipidated, sumoylated and post-translationally cleaved to produce the matrue form of the protein [Uniprot]. NBP2-81078 successfully detected major Prion protein in human brain cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus lysates.

Immunofluorescence analysis of paraformaldehyde fixed U251 cells on Shi-fix coverslips, permeabilized with 0.15% Triton and stained with the chimeric mouse IgG1 version of 3F4 [NBP2-81078] at 10 ug/ml for 1h followed by Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody (2 ug/ml), showing membrane staining. The nuclear stain is DAPI (blue). Panels show from left-right, top-bottom NBP2-81078, DAPI, merged channels and an isotype control. The isotype control was stained with an unknown specificity antibody followed by Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody.

Application Notes
This reformatted mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques. The antibody binds specifically to prion, a misfolded protein that has the ability to enter healthy organisms and cause other misfolding of other proteins into their prion form. This plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative disorders such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Staussler syndrome (GSS) and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). These disorders are characterised by an accumulation of prion proteins in the brain, which have a disrupted secondary structure.

Background: PrPSc

Prion diseases are transmissible neurodegenerative disorders which affect a range of mammalian species. In humans they can be inherited and sporadic as well as acquired by exposure to human prions. Prions appear to be composed principally of a conformational isomer of host-encoded prion protein and propagate by recruitment of cellular prion protein (1). The function of the cellular prion protein (PrP) is still poorly understood. It has been proposed that one unprecedented role for PrP is against Bax-mediated neuronal apoptosis. It has been shown that PrP potently inhibits Bax-induced cell death in human primary neurons (2). An impaired synaptic inhibition may be involved in the epileptiform activity seen in Creutzfeldt-Jakob and other neurodegenerative diseases and it is believed that loss of function of PrP may contribute to the early synaptic loss and neuronal degeneration seen in these diseases (3).
