  • General notes

    This product was changed from ascites to tissue culture supernatant on 25th October 2016. The following lot(s) is/are from ascites and is still in stock as of 25th October 2016 - GR288674, GR272407. Lot numbers higher than GR288674, GR272407 will be from tissue culture supernatant. Please note that the dilutions may need to be adjusted accordingly

    Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use.

    Many cellular activities depend on the interaction of cells with the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Most cells, in intact tissue and in culture, are attached to an ECM. Epithelial cells are associated with the basement membrane; fibroblastic cells are usually embedded in a pericellular mesh of fibrils, and tissue culture cells usually grow on a substrate which is covered by various ECM components. Studies have indicated that the matrix or its various isolated components provide not only adhesive surfaces for cells to grow on but also have effects on the rate of cell growth, mobility, morphogenesis and differentiation. Within the ECM several glycoproteins and proteoglycans have been identified. It has been proposed that the different constituents interact with each other in a rather complex fashion. The poor antigenicity of proteoglycans especially their glycoaminoglycan (GAG) moieties make it difficult to localize these molecules in tissue and cell culture. Monoclonal Anti-Chondroitin Sulfate can be used to study chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) distribution and its relationships to specific cell-substrate contacts.

Question

Hallo,

wir wuerden gern verschiedene Antikoerper bestellen und haetten zu zwei Antikoerpern noch eine Frage.
1. robo3 (ab77261):
Wir wuerden den Antikoerper gern fuer Immunostainings in Zebrafisch benutzen, leider ist das bei den Applications nicht aufgefuehrt. bedeutet dies das der Antikoerper wirklich nur nicht getestet wurde, oder ist er villeicht nicht fuer diese Anwedung geeignet? Koennen Sie vielleicht eine Aussage trefen wie hoch die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist das er in Immunostainings fuer Zebrafisch ueberhaupt funktioniert, wenn Zebrafisch nur mit "predicted to work in" angegeben ist?
2. Anti-Chondroitin Sulfate antibody (ab11570)
Auch diesen Antikoerper wuerden wir gern in Zebrafisch benutzen. Leider taucht der gar nicht in der Spalte "cross reactivity" auf. auch nicht als "predicted". Koennen sie vielleicht eine Aussage treffen wie ob er uberhaupt mit Zebrafisch reagieren wuerde und wie hoch die Wahrscheinlich keit waere?


Vielen Dank und freundliche Gruesse,

Answer

Vielen Dank für Ihren Anruf und für Ihr Interesse an unseren Produkten.

Ich freue mich Ihnen bestätigen zu können, dass ab11570 (Anti-Chondroitin Sulfate antibody [CS-56]) für Glykosaminoglykan (GAG) ist, unabhängig von der Spezies. Deshalb kann ich Ihnen diesen Antikörper empfehlen.


Unserem Wissen nach wurde ab77261 (Anti-Robo3 antibody) bisher noch nicht in Zebrafisch und IHC getestet.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ab77261 in Zebrafisch funktioniert ist groß, da das Immunogen eine 91% Homologie aufweist.

ab77261 ist auch noch nicht für IHC getestet. Es sieht jedoch vielversprechend aus, da er für ELISA geeignet ist.

Question

Inquiry: If the GAG portion of the Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan is enzymaticaly cleaved with Chondroitinase ABC, will the CS-56 still bind to the Proteoglycan core? Will the CS-56 Ab bind to the degradation products of Chondroitinase ABC (D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine)?

Read More
Answer

Unfortunately we have not tested this product with digested chondroitin sulphate and so it is difficult to predict the outcome. GAGs alone are poorly antigenic and so the antibody may not interact with the D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine from the chondroitinase reaction. We have not carried out epitope mapping for this antibody and so again we cannot say for certain whether product ab11570 will bind the proteoglycan core.

I'm sorry I could not provide more definitive information. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further assistance.

Question

Phone call requesting information on positive control tissue which can be used with the Anti-Chondroitin Sulfate antibody [CS-56] (ab11570).

Answer

Thank you for contacting us yesterday in regards to the Anti-Chondroitin Sulfate antibody [CS-56] (ab11570).

I have had a look into which tissues may serve as positive controls with the antibody. As the Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of the extracellular matrix I would expect most tissues to show positive staining. I have not been able to find any good references referring to the distribution of the target. As discussed over the phone, we have had reports of brain tissue being used:

https://www.abcam.com/Chondroitin-Sulfate-antibody-CS-56-ab11570.html&tab=abreviews&intabreviewid=25200

I have also found reference to CS being abundant in fetal liver tissue with lower levels in adult liver tissue:

Gressner AM, Vasel A. Developmental changes of proteoglycan synthesis in rat liver and isolated hepatocytes. Mech Ageing Dev 1985; 31: 307-327

As there are several different chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans such as aggrecan, verican and CD44 it is difficult to determine the exact expression profile but I would expect both the muscle, skinand bone tissue you have access to show some positive staining as indicated from the following references:

http://jcb.rupress.org/content/108/3/1165.full.pdf

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11454516

http://dev.biologists.org/content/136/10/e1005.full

I hope this information has been of some help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Question

Dear Kate,


thank you very much for your kind reply.

Unfortunately I'm not able to send sheep sequence. However I came across one another abcam antibody:Anti-Chondroitin Sulfate antibody [CS-56], (ab11570) which I might use well in my research.

Could you, pleaseconfirm if this antibody reacts with sheep cartilage?

One more question, what kind of predigestion you recommend with this antibody?



Thank you very much!



Best regards,



Andreja

Answer

Thank you for your reply.

I can confirm that Anti-Chondroitin Sulfate antibody [CS-56], (ab11570) has been raised against the chicken protein. I am sorry this antibody has been sources externally, and regrettably we are not able to obtain the chicken sequence in order to align this with the sheep. The sheep sequence also appears to be unavailable.

For antigen retrieval,there has been an Abreview submitted by another customer who has used a commercially available antigen retrieval solution(Trilogy). I can recommend that antigen retrieval will often require some optimization.You may like to consider trying citrate bufferretrieval pH 6with several time points (3, 5, 10 and 20 minutes) to start with.

We do sell some pre prepared antigen retreival solutions:
https://www.abcam.com/index.html?pageconfig=resource&rid=12854

I am sincerely sorry we have no more information regardingpotential crossreactivity with sheep again on this occasion. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitaet to contact us.
