Integrin a8 antibody in 4T1 Mouse Breast Cancer Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Integrin alpha 8 in 4T1 Mouse Breast Cancer Cell Line.

Integrin a8 was detected in immersion fixed 4T1 mouse breast cancer cell line using Goat Anti-Mouse/Rat Integrin a8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4076) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI(blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and cell surface. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Detection of Canine Integrin alpha 8 by Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence

Integrin alpha 8 co-localizes with laminin 211 in the GBM of AS but not WT dogs.A-C: Dual immunofluorescence immunostaining of kidney from a WT dog; 63x 1.4 n.a. oil. The GBM was localized with anti-collagen alpha 5 ( alpha 5(IV)) and the mesangium was localized with anti-integrin alpha 8 (INT alpha 8). D-I: Dual immunofluorescence immunostaining of kidney tissue from an AS dog at milestone 2. Laminin 211, produced by mesangial cells, was labeled with anti-laminin alpha 2 (LAMA2) and mesangial cells were localized with anti-integrin alpha 8 (INT alpha 8), demonstrating co-localization of laminin 211 with mesangial cell extension in capillary loops. Images D-F were taken with 40x1.3 n.a. oil; images G-I were taken with 63x1.4 n.a. oil with 2X zoom.

Background: Integrin alpha 8

Integrin alpha 8 is a 170‑200 kDa member of the Integrin family of adhesion molecules. It forms an exclusive noncovalent heterodimer with Integrin beta 1. alpha 8 beta 1 promotes both cell adhesion and survival and is known to bind to fibronectin, the latency-associated peptide in latent TGF-beta 1 and nephronectin. Mouse Integrin alpha 8 is a 1025 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 969 aa extracellular region (aa 38‑1006) and a 29 aa cytoplasmic domain. One isoform may exist that shows a truncation after Ala675 of the precursor. In the ECD, mouse Integrin  alpha 8 shares 96% and 90% aa sequence identity with rat and human Integrin  alpha 8 protein, respectively.

    Stables HEK293 expressing ITGA8 were lysed in RIPA and used for western blot analysis. Blot was incubated overnight with 5% milk blocking solution followed by an overnight incubation with 0.4ug/ml of goat anti-ITGA8 in 5% milk. Blot was incubated the next day with 1:3,000 anti-goat HRP secondary antibody and developed employing a film processor. 293 ITGA8: Stable cell line. 293: untransfected cells. Actin was used as loading control.
