The IFT172 Antibody (PAC059-A01) is a highly specific and reliable tool for the study of IFT172, a key protein involved in Intraflagellar Transport (IFT) within cilia. This polyclonal antibody, generated in rabbit, has been extensively validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy.IFT172 is essential for the proper function of cilia, important organelles involved in cell signaling, motility, and sensory perception. Dysregulation of IFT172 has been linked to a variety of ciliopathies, genetic disorders characterized by defects in cilia structure and function.
This antibody enables researchers to investigate the role of IFT172 in these conditions and explore potential therapeutic interventions.By targeting IFT172, researchers can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying ciliary function and dysfunction, with implications for a broad range of biological processes and diseases. The high specificity and sensitivity of this antibody make it an essential tool for studies in cell biology, developmental biology, and genetics.
IHC image of PACO59501 diluted at 1:400 and staining in paraffin-embedded human prostate cancer performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Immunofluorescence staining of A549 cells with PACO59501 at 1:133, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
