Q. I use the antibody goat anti-mouse RAGE
on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of mouse brain. The
primary antibody comes from R&Dsystems AF 1179 goat anti-mouse
RAGE. The secondary antibody comes from Dako Cytomation, Code E 0466,
polyclonal rabbit anti-goat, biotinylated. I expect to see an
imunhistological staining in the cytoplasma of neurons and in the
epithels of blood vessels. I have worked with a lot of pretreatments,
but always with the result of wrong pos. localisation in the nucleus
instead of the cytoplasm of the neurons. Can anyone help me? Thanks,

Q. Hi, I have difficulties with the DsRed Polyclonal Antibody
(#632397) from BD Biosciences on cryosections: I get a very unspecific

experiences with that antibody? Would/can you recommend any other dsRed
antibody that is working on cryo sections? Thanks, Kristina—Posted 18 January 2007

A. The following paper might be helpful to you:
Green SH, Rydel RE, Connolly JL, Greene LA. (1986) "PC12 cell
mutants that possess low- but not high-affinity nerve growth factor
receptors neither respond to nor internalize nerve growth factor." J Cell Biol. 102(3):830-43.
Four mutant PC12 pheochromocytoma cell lines that are nerve
growth factor (NGF)-nonresponsive (PC12nnr) have been selected from
chemically mutagenized cultures by a double selection procedure:
failure both to grow neurites in the presence of NGF and to survive in
NGF-supplemented serum-free medium. The PC12nnr cells were deficient in
all additional NGF responses surveyed: abatement of cell proliferation,
changes in glycoprotein composition, induction of ornithine
decarboxylase, rapid changes in protein phosphorylation, and cell
surface ruffling. However, PC12nnr cells closely resembled
non-NGF-treated PC12 cells in most properties tested: cell size and
shape; division rate; protein, phosphoprotein, and glycoprotein
composition; and cell surface morphology. All four PC12nnr lines
differed from PC12 cells in three ways in addition to failure of NGF
response: PC12nnr cells failed to internalize bound NGF by the normal,
saturable, high-affinity mechanism present in PC12 cells. The PC12nnr
cells bound NGF but entirely, or nearly entirely, at low-affinity sites
only, whereas PC12 cells possess both high- and low-affinity NGF
binding sites. The responses to dibutyryl cyclic AMP that were tested
appeared to be enhanced or altered in the PC12nnr cells compared to
PC12 cells. Internalization of, and responses to, epidermal growth
factor were normal in the PC12nnr cells ruling out a generalized defect
in hormonal binding, uptake, or response mechanisms. These findings are
consistent with a causal association between the presence of
high-affinity NGF receptors and of NGF responsiveness and
internalization. A possible relationship is also suggested between
regulation of cAMP responses and regulation of NGF responses or NGF
receptor affinity.

Q. I'm desperately seeking antibodies to detect selectively Ab 1-40 and Ab 1-42,
by western blotting and immunocytochemistry. The antibodies we had used at the lab are A-8326 (by SIGMA)
wich has a weak detection by western blotting and the other one is an anti-human amyloid b 1-42
by Pharmingen (BD Biosciences) which is supposed to be suitable for immunocytochemistry but we've had poor results with it
and it definitely doesn't work in western blot. I really need advice in this matter and, even better, I hope that some one
could spare some good antibodies.
In advance, thanks a lot. Mary Carmen Vázquez Rodríguez

Q. I am writing to ask for your help. I am studying for a Master's degree in neuroscience in Wuhan University in China.
At present, I am engaged in investigating the Hyperphosphorylated tau
leading to Alzheimer disease with hippocampus of Sprague Dawley(SD)
rat.
During the experiment, however, I encountered a great difficulty for
lack of Tau monoclonal antibodies including PHF-1, Tau-1, 12E8, AT-8
with which we can illustrate and locate the site of Hyperphosphorylated
tau by immunohistochemistry. The specific functions of these antibodies
are as follows: PHF-1 is an antiphospho Ser396/404 tau mAb,12E8 is an antiphospho Ser262/356 tau mAb,AT-8 is an antiphospho Ser202/Thr205 tau mAb.
But only Tau-1 recognized the protein when Ser199/202
are dephosphorylated. Could you possibly provide these antibodies for
me? Also,I would be very grateful if you could tell me how to get
access to these antibodies, so that I could achieve perfect experiment
results with your help.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you very much indeed. YangBo—Posted 19 July 2004

As we could not find any report of Fab fragments of a suitable
antibody (only of 4G8, which does not serve) in the literature, we
are somewhat apprehensive, because there is the possibility of
papain destroying the antigen-binding site. Has anybody done this with 6E10?
10D5 would serve, too, but I am unable to discover who, if anybody,
sells 10D5 at the moment. Is it Elan or Athena Diagnostics, or does
Athena Neurosciences exist as independent company? Thanks, Matthias Gralle
