- Application example
Crude membrane proteins were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blots were blocked immediately following transfer in 5% blocking reagent (BioRad, 170-6404) in 50 mM Tris, 150 mM sodium chloride pH 7.5 with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20 (TBS-T) for 1h at room temperature with agitation. Blots were incubated in the primary antibody in 1: 5000 dilution for over-night at 4°C with agitation. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly twice, then washed 3 times for 5 min in TBS-T at room temperature with agitation. Blots were incubated in secondary antibody (Goat anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1:5000 in 0.2% blocking solution for 1h at room temperature with agitation. The blots were washed as above and developed for 1~2 min with chemiluminescent detection reagent, according the manufacturers instructions. Images of the blots were obtained using a CCD imager (LAS4000 GE) and by ImageQuant software (GE).Arabidopsis thaliana membrane extraction and SDS–PAGE analysis About 200 mg (gFW) Arabidopsis seedlings (3-week-old), grown on 1% MS-agar plates, was ground with mortar and pestle in the presence of 2 ml extraction buffer [75 mM MOPS-KOH, 0.6 M Sucrose, 4 mM EDTA, 0.2% PVP-40, 0.2% BSA, 8 mM L-cystein, pH 7.6] and the protease inhibitor cocktail ‘complete Mini’ from Roche Diagnostics GmbH (Mannheim, Germany). Crude membrane extracts were prepared essentially as described in Colas des Francs-Small et al. (2012). The membranous fraction was obtained by centrifugation at 22,000 g for 10 min at 4oC. The pellet containing the crude membranous fraction was washed twice with wash buffer [37.5 mM MOPS-KOH, 0.3 M Sucrose, 2 mM EDTA pH 7.6]. The samples were kept frozen at -80oC until used. For SDS-PAGE, an aliquot equivalent to 10 mg (i.e. 1x dilution) of crude Arabidopsis membrane extracts was solubilized in 3x Laemmli sample buffer (Bio-Rad) and the proteins were analyzed by SDS-gel electrophoresisCourtesy of Dr. Oren Ostersetzer, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.jpg)

Pollen tubes were fixed in 400 μM 3-maleimodobenzoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (MBS, Pierce) for 6 min at 20ºC, followed by 2% formaldehyde (1 h, 4°C). Cells were washed three times in 1x TBS then once in MES buffer (15 mM MES, pH 5.0), then incubated in 0.05% cellulose/0.05% macerozyme with 0.1% Triton X-100 in MES buffer containing 0.1 mM PMSF and 1 % BSA for 15 min. Cells were washed once in MES, then twice in TBS and then incubated in blocking solution (1% BSA in TBS) for 30 min at room temperature. Pollen was incubated with anti-VDAC1 antibodyies diluted in blocking solution (at 1:500) overnight at 4°C. Following TBS washes pollen was then incubated with the secondary antibody for 1.5 h at room temperature followed by further TBS washes. Pollen tubes were mounted on slides with 5 μL of Vectashield + DAPI (Vector Laboratories, USA) and coverslips sealed with nail varnish.Method taken from Poulter et al (submitted) Actin-binding proteins implicated in formation of the punctate actin foci stimulated by the self-incompatibility response in Papaver .

Jane Lee | 2023-12-07This antibody works very well for our samples so we are very satisfied with thisPeter Ma | 2019-01-09This antibody works very well for our samples. The membrane proteins from the Arabidopsis roots are subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE and then detected with this antibody (1:5000). The results shows that this antibody is quite specific and sensitive.Michal RUREK | 2014-02-1415 µg of mitochondrial proteins from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) curds (apical layer) was separated on 12 % SDS-PAGE (Laemmli- type) and blotted 1h to Immobilone P (Millipore) using Sedryt apparatus (Kucharczyk). After blocking (5% milk in PBS-T) for 1 h at RT, blots were incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1/1000 (could be shifted down to 1/10000) for overnight at 4 deg. with agitation. The primary antibody, diluted in 2% milk in PBS-T was reused several times. Secondary, anti-rabbit HRP- linked antibodies were bound at 1/10000 dilution at RT (1h). Single band of ca. 30 kDa was detected using standart GE Healthcare ECL reagents.David Macherel | 2009-07-23The antibody yields good signal on western blots with extracts from germinating Arabidopsis seeds and young seedlings. We use it at 1/1000 dilution followed by ECL detectionEmanuel Schmid | 2009-03-05We did first attempts in our lab with the previous version of this antibody. It worked fine for enriched Mitochondria samples but unfortunately not in crude Arabidopsis samples. This new version of the VDAC1 antibody solves completely the previous problems, We were now able to detect the VDAC1 even in crude Arabidopsis samples.-------------------------------------------Materials and Methods:Crude Arabidopsis extract was obtained by blending leaves and filtering it through Miracloth. 7 microgramm protein of this mix was used for the SDS-Page.Blocking overnight @ 4 °C in 5% milk in PBS. Antibody incubation for 3h @ RT, 1:1000 in PBS 5% milk. Detection with Protein A.Bronwyn Barkla | 2008-11-17We are very satisfied with this antibody.
