PrPC Antibody (SC57-05)

Western Blot: PrPC Antibody (SC57-05) [NBP2-67569] - Western blot analysis of PrPC protein on rat brain tissue lysates. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% BSA in PBS for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (1/500) was used in 5% BSA at room temperature for 2 hours

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: PrPC Antibody (SC57-05) [NBP2-67569] - Staining PrPC in N2A cells (green). The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde, permeabilised with 0.25% Triton X100/PBS.

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: PrPC Antibody (SC57-05) [NBP2-67569] - Analysis of paraffin-embedded rat brain tissue using anti-PrPC antibody. Counter stained with hematoxylin.

Flow Cytometry: PrPC Antibody (SC57-05) [NBP2-67569] - Analysis of SH-SY-5Y cells with PrPC antibody at 1/50 dilution (red) compared with an unlabelled control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; black). Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody.

Background

Prion diseases are transmissible neurodegenerative disorders which affect a range of mammalian species. In humans they can be inherited and sporadic as well as acquired by exposure to human prions. Prions appear to be composed principally of a conformational isomer of host-encoded prion protein and propagate by recruitment of cellular prion protein (1). The function of the cellular prion protein (PrP) is still poorly understood. It has been proposed that one unprecedented role for PrP is against Bax-mediated neuronal apoptosis. It has been shown that PrP potently inhibits Bax-induced cell death in human primary neurons (2). An impaired synaptic inhibition may be involved in the epileptiform activity seen in Creutzfeldt-Jakob and other neurodegenerative diseases and it is believed that loss of function of PrP may contribute to the early synaptic loss and neuronal degeneration seen in these diseases (3).
