Prox1 Antibody (5G10)

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Prox1 Antibody (5G10) [NBP1-30045] - HepG2 cells were fixed for 10 minutes using 10% formalin and then permeabilized for 5 minutes using 1X TBS + 0.5% Triton-X100. The cells were incubated with anti-PROX1 (5G10) NBP1-30045 at a 1:200 dilution overnight at 4C and detected with and anti-mouse Dylight 488 (Green) at a 1:500 dilution. Actin was counterstained with Phalloidin 568 (Red) at a 1:200 dilution. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Cells were imaged using a 40X objective.

Flow Cytometry: Prox1 Antibody (5G10) [NBP1-30045] - HepG2 cells were stained with Prox1 (5G10) NBP1-30045 (blue) and a matched isotype control NBP2-27287 (orange). Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and then permeablized with 0.1% saponin. Cells were incubated in an antibody dilution of 1 ug/mL for 30 minutes at room temperature, followed by Dylight488-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody.

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: Prox1 Antibody (5G10) [NBP1-30045] - IHC analysis of a formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section of Mouse liver using Lot UD1009o of PROX1 antibody clone 5G10 at 1:100 dilution with HRP-DAB detection and hematoxylin counterstaining. The antibody generated nice nuclear-cytoplasmic staining in sinusoidal endothelial cells as well as in Kupffer cells.

Background

Prox1 is a prospero related homeobox gene. Prox1 may play a fundamental role in early development of the CNS. It may also regulate gene expression and development of postmitotic undifferentiated young neurons. Prox1 is expressed in CNS, eye, pancreas, liver and heart tissues, and it is one of the most specific and reliable markers for lymphatic endothelial cells. On a subcellular level Prox1 resides in the nucleus.

FAQs for Prox1 Antibody (NBP1-30045). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQs).

1. Does this work for IHC on formalin-fixed tissue, or just frozen tissue? We're most interested in reactivity to mouse tissues.
   • I have checked with the lab and it has only been tested on Paraffin embedded tissue and has yet to be tested on frozen tissue. We will guarantee IHC-P and all the species listed on the datasheet under our 100% guarantee. If you plan to test on frozen tissues and wish to report this data to us we can recommend our Innovators Reward Program. Our Innovator's Reward is offered to reward researchers for testing new species and applications with our products. If testing on this antibody is performed on an untested species and/or application, and the results are shared, then the antibody is eligible for the Innovator's Reward. Under this program, Novus will provide you a credit of equal or lesser value on a future product of equal value in exchange for your new data in the form of an online review. The great thing is you are eligible even if the antibody doesn't work because the data is still useful to us.
