Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Aggrecan antibody [6-B-4] (AB3778)
Secreted staining of cartilage cells.
Staining performed on a Leica BOND RXTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using enzymatic retrieval, for 15mins. The section was then incubated with ab3778, 0.05μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Western blot - Anti-Aggrecan antibody [6-B-4] (AB3778)
ab3778 was shown to react with recombinant human Aggrecan protein in western blot.
Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with ab3778 at 1μg/ml overnight at 4°C. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye®800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) at a 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at RT.

Biological function summary
Aggrecan plays a significant role in maintaining the structural integrity of cartilage by providing resistance to compression. This proteoglycan is a central component of the extracellular matrix forming large aggregates with hyaluronic acid and link proteins. These aggregates contribute to the cartilage's osmotic properties helping resist compression during joint movement. Aggrecan's structural properties make it necessary for normal joint function and health.
Pathways
Aggrecan interacts within the cartilage development and maintenance frameworks. Specifically it participates in the regulation of the ECM-receptor interaction pathway and the proteoglycans in cancer pathway. Aggrecan functions alongside proteins such as type II collagen to ensure biomechanical properties of the cartilage. Additionally its enzymatic breakdown by aggrecanases like ADAMTS can impact these pathways leading to various physiological effects.
