Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence Staining of MAP2 in Mouse Primary Cultures
Mouse primary cultures stained with MAP2 antibody. ICC/IF image submitted by a verified customer review.Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence Staining of MAP2 in Rat Cortical Neuron-Glial Cells
Immunofluorescent analysis of cortical neuron-glial cell culture from E20 rat stained with chicken pAb to microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2), NB300-213, dilution 1:10,000 in red, and mouse mAb to MAP-tau, NPB2-25162, dilution 1:2,000, in green. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. NB300-213 antibody stains dendrites and perikarya of neurons, while NBP2-25162 antibody labels neuronal perikarya, dendrites and also axonal process. As a result perikarya and dendrites appears orange-yellow, since they contain both MAP2 and tau, while axons are green.Western Blot Detection of MAP2 in Rat Brain Tissue Lysates
Western blot analysis of whole brain tissue lysates using chicken pAb to microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2), NB300-213, dilution 1:50,000 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] adult rat brain, [3] embryonic E20 rat brain, [4] adult mouse brain. Strong band observed at ~280 kDa mark corresponds to two major isoforms of MAP2 protein referred to as MAP2A and MAP2B. Smaller fragments of these isoforms are also detected if the antibody is used at higher concentrations.Immunofluorescent Analysis of MAP2 in Treated Rat Hippocampi
PEA decreases astrocyte activation in organotypic cultures of rat hippocampi and rescues neuronal CA3 damage caused by Abeta challenge. Abeta-challenged (1 ug/ml) slices of rat hippocampi were treated for 24 hours with PEA (0.1 uM) in the presence of the selective PPAR? antagonist (GW9662, 9 nM) or the selective PPARalpha antagonist (MK886, 3 uM). Representative photomicrographs of the CA3 region showing the results of immunofluorescence experiments aimed at investigating the effect of treatments on astrocyte activation and neuronal loss, as determined by immunostaining for GFAP (green) and MAP2 (red) alone or merged, respectively. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar: 10 um. Arrows in the photomicrographs indicate astrocyte infiltration events and apoptotic condensation in the nuclei of adjacent neurons.Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence Staining of MAP2 in Human iPS Derived Neurons

Background: MAP2
MAP2 isoforms are developmentally regulated and differentially expressed in neurons and some glia. MAP2c is predominantly expressed in the developing brain while the other isoforms are expressed in the adult brain. The distribution of MAP2 isoforms also varies, with MAP2a and MAP2b predominantly localized to dendrites, while MAP2c is also found in axons. Lastly, the expression of MAP2d is not limited to neurons and may be found in glia, specifically oligodendrocytes (1, 2). MAP2 isoforms associate with microtubules and mediate their interaction with actin filaments thereby playing a critical role in organizing the microtubule-actin network. In neurons, MAP2 isoforms are implicated in different processes including neurite initiation, elongation and stabilization as well as axon and dendrite formation (2). Knockout of MAP expression in animal models results in a variety of functional and structural brain defects according to the isoform affected (e.g., reduced LTP and LTD, reduced myelination, absence of corpus collosum, motor system malfunction, abnormal hippocampal dendritic morphology, abnormal synaptic plasticity) (4).

A: Our product NB300-213 originates in the United States.
-
Q: I was using your product NB300-213 for MAP2 immunofluorescence, I did many times, which showed a beaded signal consistently unlike the picture presented on the product datasheet,could you give me some advice?
A: I looked at the images, and I think that the MAP2 antibody is working fine. The beading of the dendrites is likely due to some problem with fixation, which resulted in some damage to the neurons. MAP2 is bound to microtubules which are very labile, rapidly breaking down in the cold or if the cells are metabolically or mechanically challenged. When this happens, the dendrites take up a beaded appearance, as in the images. We routinely use a fixation protocol in which cells are fixed briefly in formalin at room temperature, which stabilizes the microtubules, followed by cold methanol, which helps to permeabilize the cells. -
Q: Would you be able to share the concentration of NB300-213 from Lot# 7214, and the current lot of this antibody?
A: This antibody is a chicken polyclonal that has been precipitated therefore a concentration is irrelevant. This is because, unlike an affinity purified antibody, there will be other proteins that absorb at 280 that are not the specific antibody to the protein target. The concentration is usually about 20mg/ml. We currently are on Lot# 7225-3.
