Application Notes

In Western blot a band is seen ~90 to 105 kDa representing AHR (molecular weight varies by species and by strain). Prior to immunostaining paraffin tissues, antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended.

In Simple Western only 10 - 15 uL of the recommended dilution is used per data point.

Background: AHR

Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcriptional activator that binds to XRE promoter region of its target genes and has been established to activate phase I/II xenobiotic biotransformation enzyme genes. AhR binds MYBBP1A and its efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH proteinsuch as ARNT. Besides interacting with NEDD8 and IVNS1ABP, AhR also interacts with coactivators including SRC-1, RIP140 and NOCA7, and with the corepressor SMRT. AhR localize to cytoplasm and upon binding with ligand followed by interaction with a HSP90, it translocates to the nucleus. AhR has been shown to be induced or repressed by TGFB1 as well as dioxin in a cell-type specific fashion, whereas cAMP, retinoic acid, TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13 acetate) have been shown to exert repressive effects on AhR. As a member of bHLH-PAS (basic helix-loop-helix Per/ARNT/Sim) family, AhR has been implicated in physiological processes such as circadian cycle, neurogenesis, organs development and regulation of cell-cycle as well as the alternative signaling pathways (independently of exposure to xenobiotics). AhR-null mice exhibit infertility, liver abnormalities and cardiovascular problems such as a defective closure of the ductus venosus, indicative of the implication of the AhR in various developmental processes.

Protocols

View specific protocols for AHR Antibody - BSA Free (NB100-2289):


Immunocytochemistry Protocol

Culture cells to appropriate density on suitable glass coverslips in 35 mm culture dishes or 6-well plates.

1. Remove culture medium and add 10% formalin to the dish. Fix at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
2. Remove the formalin and add 0.5% Triton-X 100 in TBS to permeabilize the cells. Incubate for 5-10 minutes.
3. Remove the permeabilization buffer and add wash buffer (i.e. PBS or PBS with 0.1% Tween-20). Be sure to not let the specimen dry out. Gently wash three times for 10 minutes.
4. Alternatively, cells can be fixed with -20C methanol for 10 min at room temperature. Remove the methanol and rehydrate in PBS for 10 min before proceeding.
5. To block nonspecific antibody binding incubate in 10% normal goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature.
6. Add primary antibody at appropriate dilution and incubate at room temperature for 1 hour or at 4 degrees C overnight.
7. Remove primary antibody and replace with wash buffer. Gently wash three times for 10 minutes.
8. Add secondary antibody at the appropriate dilution. Incubate for 1 hour at room temperature.
9. Remove antibody and replace with wash buffer. Gently wash three times for 10 minutes.
10. Nuclei can be staining with 4',6' diamino phenylindole (DAPI) at 0.1 ug/ml, or coverslips can be directly mounted in media containing DAPI.
11. Cells can now be viewed with a fluorescence microscope.

*The above information is only intended as a guide. The researcher should determine what protocol best meets their needs. Please follow proper laboratory procedures for the disposal of formalin.

2. Transfer proteins to membrane according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the membrane and transfer apparatus.
3. Stain according to standard Ponceau S procedure (or similar product) to assess transfer success, and mark molecular weight standards where appropriate.
4. Rinse the blot.
5. Block the membrane using standard blocking buffer for at least 1 hour.
6. Wash the membrane in wash buffer three times for 10 minutes each.
7. Dilute primary antibody in blocking buffer and incubate 1 hour at room temperature.
