Overview
Cat #: BLP-NX004
Type: Synthetic peptide
Form: Lyophilized Powder
Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Blocking Peptide (#BLP-NX004) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Antibody (#ANX-004) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
Applications: wb, ihc
Application key:
WB- Western blot, IHC- Immunohistochemistry
For research purposes only. not for human use
Applications
Demonstration of Pre-adsorption control
- Western blot analysis of rat kidney lysate (lanes 1 and 3) and mouse kidney lysate (lanes 2 and 4):1-2. Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Antibody (#ANX-004), (1:400).
3-4. Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Antibody (#ANX-004), preincubated with Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Blocking Peptide (BLP-NX004). - Western blot analysis of rat brain lysate (lanes 1 and 3) and mouse brain lysate (lanes 2 and 4):1-2. Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Antibody (#ANX-004), (1:200).
3-4. Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Antibody (#ANX-004), preincubated with Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Blocking Peptide (BLP-NX004). - Expression of NHE-4 in rat brain subfornical organ (SFO).Immunohistochemical staining of perfusion-fixed frozen rat brain sections using Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Antibody (#ANX-004), (1:200), followed by goat anti-rabbit-AlexaFluor-488. A. NHE-4 immunoreactivity (green) appears in cells of the SFO. B. Pre-incubation of the antibody with Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Blocking Peptide (BLP-NX004), suppressed staining. Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). FX = fornix, SFO= subfornical organ, V = cerebral ventricle
- Expression of NHE-4 and Aquaporin-4 in rat brain subfornical organ (SFO).Immunohistochemical staining of perfusion-fixed frozen rat brain sections with Anti-Na+/H+ Exchanger 4 (NHE-4) Antibody (#ANX-004), (1:200), followed by goat anti-rabbit-AlexaFluor-488 and Guinea Pig Anti-Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) (300-314) Antibody (#AQP-014-GP), (1:200), followed by goat anti-guinea pig-AlexaFluor-594. A. NHE-4 immunoreactivity (green) appears in cells of the SFO. B. AQP4 immunoreactivity (red), appears in cells of the SFO. C. Merge of the two images demonstrates colocalization in several neurons (arrows point at examples). Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue).
