Western blotting is a powerful and widely used method, but limitations in detection sensitivity and specificity, and dependence upon high quality antibodies to detect targeted proteins, are hurdles to overcome. The in situ proximity ligation assay, based on dual antibody recognition and powerful localized signal amplification, offers increased detection sensitivity and specificity, along with an ability to identify complex targets such as phosphorylated or interacting proteins. Here we have applied the in situ proximity ligation assay mechanism in Western blotting. This combination allowed the use of isothermal rolling circle amplification of DNA molecules formed in target-specific ligation reaction, for 16-fold or greater increase in detection sensitivity. The increased specificity because of dual antibody recognition ensured highly selective assays, detecting the specific band when combinations of two cross-reactive antitubulin antibodies were used (i.e. both producing distinct nonspecific bands in traditional Western blotting). We also demonstrated detection of phosphorylated platelet-derived growth factor receptor β by proximity ligation with one antibody directed against the receptor and another directed against the phosphorylated tyrosine residue. This avoided the need for stripping and re-probing the membrane or aligning two separate traditional blots. We demonstrate that the high-performance in situ proximity ligation-based Western blotting described herein is compatible with detection via enhanced chemiluminescence and fluorescence detection systems, and can thus be readily employed in any laboratory. 相似文献

The expression of melanosomal matrix protein in the transdifferentiation of pigmented epithelial cells into lens cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A monoclonal antibody (MC/1) was constructed against melanosomes purified from the chicken pigmented epithelial cells (PECs) in order to characterize the differentiative phenotypes of PEC in the process of transdifferentiation into lens cells. Immunofluorescent studies revealed that MC/1 antibody specifically stains both retinal PECs in the eye and melanocytes in the skin, of chicken embryos. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that the antigen molecules are located on the peripheral region of the melanosomal matrix. A single protein band with an apparent molecular weight of 115,000 was labelled by MC/1 in Western blotting. The 115 kDa polypeptide identified by MC/1 is considered to be a member of the melanosomal matrix proteins. The maintenance of specificity of pigment cell nature is followed in the system of transdifferentiation of PEC into lens in vitro, utilizing 115 kDa protein as a marker. In the dedifferentiated PECs, this protein was undetectable. 相似文献

Lewis rats were immunized with partially purified 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) from bovine cerebral white matter and the spleen cells were fused with cell of a mouse myeloma cell line (SP-2). The production of monoclonal antibody was detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay, immunohistochemical staining of bovine cerebrum, Western blotting analysis, and CNPase binding assay. Monoclonal antibody that specifically binds CNPase molecules was obtained. However, the antibody did not suppress the enzyme activity. Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the monoclonal antibody binds both CNa (Wla) and CNb (Wlb). The monoclonal antibody was identified as being of the IgG2c subclass. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the myelin sheath in the CNS was heavily stained with the monoclonal antibody in several species (bovine, mouse, rat, and human). In contrast, peripheral nervous system myelin was not stained even in bovine tissue. These results suggest that the monoclonal antibody obtained in the present study specifically recognizes the CNPase molecules in the CNS. 相似文献

Western blotting is a commonly used technique in biological research. A major problem with Western blotting is not the method itself, but the use of poor quality antibodies as well as the use of different experimental conditions that affect the linearity and sensitivity of the Western blot. Investigation of some conditions that are commonly used and often modified in Western blotting, as well as some commercial antibodies, showed that published articles often fail to report critical parameters needed to reproduce the results. These parameters include the amount of protein loaded, the blocking solution and conditions used, the amount of primary and secondary antibodies used, the antibody incubation solutions, the detection method and the quantification method utilized. In the present study, comparison of ubiquitinated proteins in rat heart and liver samples showed different results depending on the antibody utilized. Validation of five commercial ubiquitin antibodies using purified ubiquitinated proteins, ubiquitin chains and free ubiquitin showed that these antibodies differ in their ability to detect free ubiquitin or ubiquitinated proteins. Investigating proteins modified with interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) in young and old rat hearts using six commercially available antibodies showed that most antibodies gave different semi-quantitative results, suggesting large variability among antibodies. Evidence showing the importance of the Western blot buffer and the concentration of antibody used is presented. Hence there is a critical need for comprehensive reporting of experimental conditions to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of Western blot analysis. A Western blotting minimal reporting standard (WBMRS) is suggested to improve the reproducibility of Western blot analysis. 相似文献

Background
To obtain non-relative measures of cell proteins, purified preparations of the same proteins are used as standards in Western blots. We have previously quantified SV40 large T antigen expressed over a several fold range in different cell lines and correlated the average number of molecules to average fluorescence obtained by cytometry and determined cell cycle phase related expression by calculation from multi-parametric cytometry data. Using a modified approach, we report quantification of endogenous cyclin B1 and generation of the cell cycle time related expression profile.Methodology
Recombinant cyclin B1 was purified from a baculovirus lysate using an antibody affinity column and concentrated. We created fixed cell preparations from nocodazole-treated (high cyclin B1) and serum starved (low cyclin B1) PC3 cells that were either lyophilized (for preservation) or solubilized. The lysates and purified cyclin B1 were subjected to Western blotting; the cell preparations were subjected to cytometry, and fluorescence was correlated to molecules. Three untreated cell lines (K562, HeLa, and RKO) were prepared for cytometry without lyophilization and also prepared for Western blotting. These were quantified by Western blotting and by cytometry using the standard cell preparations.Results
The standard cell preparations had 1.5×105 to 2.5×106 molecules of cyclin B1 per cell on average (i.e., 16-fold range). The average coefficient of variation was 24%. Fluorescence varied 12-fold. The relationship between molecules/cell (Western blot) and immunofluorescence (cytometry) was linear (r2 = 0.87). Average cyclin B1 levels for the three untreated cell lines determined by Western blotting and cytometry agreed within a factor of 2. The non-linear rise in cyclin B1 in S phase was quantified from correlated plots of cyclin B1 and DNA content. The peak levels achieved in G2 were similar despite differences in lineage, growth conditions, and rates of increase through the cell cycle (range: 1.6–2.2×106 molecules per cell).Conclusions
Net cyclin B1 expression begins in G1 in human somatic cells lines; increases non-linearly with variation in rates of accumulation, but peaks at similar peak values in different cell lines growing under different conditions. This suggests tight quantitative end point control. 相似文献6.

We describe fluorescence-based 2-D gel electrophoresis methods for visualization of low abundant, cancer relevant tyrosine phosphorylated (pTyr) proteins. The methods investigated were fluorescent Western blotting and two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) for detection of non-enriched and immunoaffinity enriched pTyr protein patterns. The same anti-phosphotyrosine specific antibody, 4G10, was used for both approaches. The results from fluorescent Western blotting of total proteins and from enriched CyDye DIGE pre-labeled pTyr proteins showed similar down regulation of phosphorylation upon treating of cells from a cancer model system (K562 chronic myeloid leukemia cells) with imatinib. This treatment introduced a known perturbation of phosphorylation that enabled testing of these new approaches to analyze variations in tyrosine phosphorylation levels. Enrichment of pTyr proteins was found highly advantageous for the outcome. Out of a simplified 2-D DIGE experiment of immunoaffinity enriched control and treated pTyr proteins, differential analysis as well as protein identification by mass spectrometry (MS) was possible. 相似文献

电转移中蛋白质的透膜现象及其对蛋白质印迹结果的影响 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
探讨了电转移中蛋白质的透膜现象及其对蛋白质印迹结果的影响.采用抗凋亡抑制蛋白-Survivin的抗体,对细胞裂解液进行蛋白质印迹.与常规操作方法不同之处是:在电转移的凝胶“三明治”中,重叠放置两张硝酸纤维素膜.电转移后,对两张膜同时进行免疫印迹.在特定的转移条件下,两张膜的免疫印迹都出现了Survivin蛋白的特异印迹带,证实了电转移中存在着蛋白质的透膜现象.转移时间、电流强度和蛋白质的分子质量,都是影响蛋白质透膜的相关因素.电转移中蛋白质的透膜,可以产生“印迹复制失真”的效应,从而最终影响蛋白质印迹定性和定量的结果.所得实验结果和结论,揭示了蛋白质印迹技术方法学中一个需要加以充分关注的问题,对于科学掌握和应用该技术具有积极作用. 相似文献

Antibodies play a pivotal role in studying the expression and function of proteins. Proteomics studies require the generation of specific and high‐affinity antibodies against large numbers of proteins. While traditional animal‐based antibody generation is laborious, difficult to automate, and therefore less suited to keep up with the requirements of proteomics research, the use of recombinant in vitro antibody technology might offer a solution to this problem. However, it has not been demonstrated yet that such antibodies are at least as useful as conventional antibodies for typical proteomics applications. Here we generated novel recombinant Fab antibody fragments from the naïve HuCAL® GOLD library against a number of targets derived from a mouse cDNA library. We compared these antibodies with polyclonal antisera produced against the same targets and show that these recombinant antibodies are useful reagents for typical applications like Western blotting or immunohistochemistry. 相似文献

We describe a novel method, two-dimensional electrophoresis/phage panning (2D-PP), for the generation of antibodies against proteins in crude biochemical samples, such as cellular membrane fractions. These sources have traditionally presented problems as to the development of antibodies by conventional techniques. 2D-PP involves two-dimensional resolution of proteins, blotting of the proteins onto a nitrocellulose membrane, and screening of a phage antibody library and isolation of corresponding antibodies. By 2D-PP with detergent-insoluble "lipid rafts" as a target protein complex, we obtained specific phage pools against eight antigen spots (from a total of 39 spots). These antibodies were functional in Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assaying (ELISA), and immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library. Propagation of anti-nitrocellulose phages was the major problem in 2D-PP, but was overcome by the use of the soluble anti-nitrocellulose antibody fragment. 2D-PP constitutes a key tool for functional analysis of proteins in complex fractions. 相似文献

The levels and cell-type distribution of late embryogenesis abundant (Lea) proteins D-7 and D-113 have been determined in mature cotton embryos by immunochemical methods. The two proteins were expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli and utilized for antibody production in rabbits. The antiserum to each protein was found to interact with all members of each protein family in cotton extracts by protein gel blotting. Using these antibodies in quantitative "rocket" immunoelectrophoreses, D-7 proteins were found to accumulate to ~8 x 1015 molecules per embryo, which is equivalent to ~109 molecules per "average cell." D-113 proteins accumulate to ~1016 molecules per embryo, which equates to ~1.3 x 109 molecules per average cell. These values calculate to concentrations of about 226 and 283 [mu]M, respectively, in the cell aqueous phase immediately prior to seed desiccation. In immunocytochemical studies using the fluorophor rhodamine linked to the secondary antibody, both proteins appeared to be evenly present in the cytosol of all cell types present in the embryo, including both cotyledon and axis epidermal cells. Thus, their function does not appear related to unique functions of specific cell or tissue types. The very high molar concentrations of the two proteins, coupled with their unusual predicted structure and their cytosol location, would seem to reduce the number of their conceivable functions. 相似文献

The early applications of microarrays and detection technologies have been centered on DNA-based applications. The application of array technologies to proteomics is now occurring at a rapid rate. Numerous researchers have begun to develop technologies for the creation of microarrays of protein-based screening tools. The stability of antibody molecules when bound to surfaces has made antibody arrays a starting point for proteomic microarray technology. To minimize disadvantages due to size and availability, some researchers have instead opted for antibody fragments, antibody mimics or phage display technology to create libraries for protein chips. Even further removed from antibodies are libraries of aptamers, which are single-stranded oligonucleotides that express high affinity for protein molecules. A variation on the theme of protein chips arrayed with antibody mimics or other protein capture ligand is that of affinity MS where the protein chips are directly placed in a mass spectrometer for detection. Other approaches include the creation of intact protein microarrays directly on glass slides or chips. Although many of the proteins may likely be denatured, successful screening has been demonstrated. The investigation of protein-protein interactions has formed the basis of a technique called yeast two-hybrid. In this method, yeast "bait" proteins can be probed with other yeast "prey" proteins fused to DNA binding domains. Although the current interpretation of protein arrays emphasizes microarray grids of proteins or ligands on glass slides or chips, 2-D gels are technically macroarrays of authentic proteins. In an innovative departure from the traditional concept of protein chips, some researchers are implementing microfluidic printing of arrayed chemistries on individual protein spots blotted onto membranes. Other researchers are using in-jet printing technology to create protein microarrays on chips. The rapid growth of proteomics and the active climate for new technology is driving a new generation of companies and academic efforts that are developing novel protein microarray techniques for the future. 相似文献

Generalized increases in protein oxidation and protein degradation in response to mild oxidative stress have been widely reported, but only a few individual proteins have actually been shown to undergo selective, oxidation-induced proteolysis. Our goal was to find such proteins in Clone 9 liver cells exposed to hydrogen peroxide. Using metabolic radiolabeling of intracellular proteins with [35S]cysteine/methionine, and analysis by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE), we found at least three labeled proteins ("A," "B," and "C") whose levels were decreased significantly more than the generalized protein loss after mild oxidative stress. "Protein C" was excised from 2-D PAGE and subjected to N-terminal amino acid microsequencing. "Protein C" was identified as Protein Disulfide Isomerase or PDI (E.C. 5.3.4.1), and this identity was reconfirmed by Western blotting with a C-terminal anti-PDI monoclonal antibody. A combination of quantitative radiometry and Western blotting in 2-D PAGE revealed that PDI was selectively degraded and then new PDI was synthesized, following H2O2 exposure. PDI degradation was blocked by inhibitors of the proteasome, and by cell treatment with proteasome C2 subunit antisense oligonucleotides, indicating that the proteasome was largely responsible for oxidation-induced PDI degradation. 相似文献

This article reviews the technical advances in antibody engineering and the clinical applications of these molecules. Recombinant DNA technology facilitates the construction and expression of engineered antibodies. These novel molecules are designed to meet specific applications. Although genomic and cDNA cloning have been used widely in the past to isolate the relevant antibody V domains, at present, the PCR-based cloning is the preferred system. Bacterial and mammalian expression systems are used commonly for the production of antibodies, antibody fragments, and antibody fusion proteins. A range of chimeric antibodies with murine V domains joined to C regions from human and other species have been produced and found to exhibit the expected binding characteristics and effector functions. Humanized antibodies have been developed to minimize the HAMA response, and bifunctional immunoglobulins are being used in tumor therapy and diagnosis. Single chain antibodies and fusion proteins with antibody specificities jointed to nonimmunoglobulin sequences provide a source of antibody-like molecules with novel properties. The potential applications of minimal recognition units and antigenized antibodies are described. Combinatorial libraries produced in bacteriophage present an alternative to hybridomas for the production of antibodies with the desired antigen binding specificities. Future developments in this field are discussed also. 相似文献

We attempted to establish an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system by preparation of recombinant murine MIP-2 and its rabbit antibodies. A fusion construct of MIP-2 to protein A was used to enable easy purification as well as the generation of a sufficiently large antibody response. The specificity of antibody was confirmed by Western blotting analysis of 20-h conditioned medium from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, a murine macrophage cell line; antibody gave a single band with a molecular weight of approximately 6000, which is identical to that of murine MIP-2 reported previously. Biotin-streptavidin sandwich ELISA could detect quantitatively MIP-2 at concentration range of 20 to 1000 pg/ml. In some applications of this ELISA system, time-related production of MIP-2 and inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on its production have been demonstrated in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Thus, ELISA system established in this study is considered to be a useful tool to study MIP-2 response in various inflammation models in mice. 相似文献

Here we have reviewed chemical and recombinant approaches to the construction of hybrid molecules that combine a "targeting" antibody and an "effector" enzyme activity. There are advantages and disadvantages to both chemical and recombinant methods, and one goal of this review has been to elucidate these so that the appropriate method can be used by those interested in using hybrid molecules to study questions of basic or therapeutic importance. The system studied in greatest detail has as its goal the targeting of a plasminogen activator to an occlusive intravascular thrombus. We have, therefore, used this system as an example of currently available approaches. Now that these methodologies have been studied and put into use, it is anticipated that this principle will be generalized both to other therapeutic applications, as well as to the design and construction of molecules that will allow more basic questions to be addressed. 相似文献

The design of protein–peptide interactions has a wide array of practical applications and also reveals insight into the basis for molecular recognition. Here, we present the redesign of a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) protein scaffold, along with its corresponding peptide ligand. We show that the binding properties of these protein–peptide pairs can be understood, quantitatively, using straightforward chemical considerations. The recognition pairs we have developed are also practically useful for the specific identification of tagged proteins. We demonstrate the facile replacement of these proteins, which we have termed T‐Mods (TPR‐based recognition module), for antibodies in both detection and purification applications. The new protein–peptide pair has a dissociation constant that is weaker than typical antibody–antigen interactions, yet the recognition pair is highly specific and we have shown that this affinity is sufficient for both Western blotting and affinity purification. Moreover, we demonstrate that this more moderate affinity is actually advantageous for purification applications, because extremely harsh conditions are not required to dissociate the T‐Mod‐peptide interaction. The results we present are important, not only because they represent a successful application of protein design but also because they help define the properties that should be sought in other scaffolds that are being developed as antibody replacements. 相似文献
