Target

  • Function

    Ubiquitin-protein hydrolase involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins. This enzyme is a thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. Also binds to free monoubiquitin and may prevent its degradation in lysosomes. The homodimer may have ATP-independent ubiquitin ligase activity.

  • Tissue specificity

    Found in neuronal cell bodies and processes throughout the neocortex (at protein level). Expressed in neurons and cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system and their tumors. Weakly expressed in ovary. Down-regulated in brains from Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease patients.

  • Involvement in disease

    Parkinson disease 5
    Neurodegeneration with optic atrophy, childhood-onset

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the peptidase C12 family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    O-glycosylated.

  • Cellular localization

    Cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. About 30% of total UCHL1 is associated with membranes in brain.

Question

Could you please help me regarding the positive and negative controls of this product?

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your question. The protein PGP9.5 is expressed in neurons and most brain tissue, especially from the cerebral cortex, will be a good positive tissue control. A negative tissue control is more difficult to recommend but the  Human Protein Atlas has RNA and protein expression data for tissues at http://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000154277-UCHL1/tissue, and cell line data at http://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000154277-UCHL1/cell/HPA005993.

Question

I have received an enquiry from a customer regarding PGP9.5 antibodies.

They write;

“Abcam has a lot of PGP9.5 antibody. I want one to use in IHC-P on human pancreas tumour sections.

Is it possible to find out which one they would recommend?”



If you could get back to me at your earliest convenience with an answer to this it would be much appreciated.

Read More
Answer

Thank you for contacting us.

According to UniGene, the RNA for this protein can be found quite abundantly in human pancreas. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem to find a suitable antibody which has been tested in human and IHC-P.

We have two polyclonal antibodies, which have been used in various references and Abreviews. However, only

https://www.abcam.com/PGP95-antibody-Neuronal-Marker-ab15503.html (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/PGP95-antibody-Neuronal-Marker-ab15503.html).

has been tested by us so far in-house in pancreas tissue.

The other antibody whith a lot of refferences and Abreviews would be

https://www.abcam.com/PGP95-antibody-ab10404.html (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/PGP95-antibody-ab10404.html).

If they would prefer a monoclonal antibody, I would like to suggest

https://www.abcam.com/PGP95-antibody-13C4--I3C4-ab8189.html (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/PGP95-antibody-13C4--I3C4-ab8189.html).

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Question

Hi, I`ve been tried to dilute the antibody to 1:20000, but the same
result was obteined, I think that the antibody solution is
contaminated or impure. Here is the details requested. I Add a picture
in which is posible apreciate the high inespecific signal. I`ll wait
for your answer.
Best.

*Order Details
Antibody code: ab10404
Lot number: GR24090-6
Purchase order number
or preferably Abcam order number:
General Information
Antibody storage conditions (temperature/reconstitution etc): The antibody
was alicuoted and stored at -20°C
Description of the problem (high background, low signal, non-specific
satining etc.): High background and inespecific marked cells or
non-specific staining.
Sample (Species/Tissue/Cell Type/Cell Line etc.): Human spinal cord and
eutopic and ectopic endometria, both fixed in formaldehyde 10%v/v in buffer
PBS and embedded in paraffin.
Fixation of sample
(Ethanol/Methanol/Acetone/Paraformaldehyde/Other/Duration etc.)
Formaldehyde 10%v/v in buffer PBS
Antigen retrieval (Enzymatic method, Heat mediated technique etc.)
The sections were performed with antigen retrieval: Heat mediated with
vegetable steamer in pH6.0 sodium citrate buffer, and pH 8.0 EDTA
during 20, 30 and 40
minutes; in addition, the IHC was also performed without antigen retrieval
and the result was the same.
Permeabilization step: It is not necesary for tissue sections
Blocking conditions (Buffer/time period, Blocking agent etc.): It was used
2,5% normal horse serum blocking agent from the vectastain kit: Elite ABC
kit PK-7200 (Vector), and 2% bovine serum albumin for 30 and 40 minutes.
Primary Antibody (Manufacturer/Species/Diluent/Dilution/Incubation time,
Wash step): Dilutions were tested from 1:100 to 1:20000 in PBS buffer and in
1% BSA, incubating one hour at 37oC and 20 hours at 4oC. Then, the sections
was washed in PBS buffer 3 times, 3 minutes each.
Secondary Antibody (Manufacturer/Species/Diluent/Dilution/Incubation time,
Wash step): It was used the R.T.U. biotinylated universal antibody
anti-rabbit/mouse IgG, made in horse from the **Elite ABC kit PK-7200
(Vector), during 30 minutes and then washed in PBS 3 times, 3 minutes each.*
*
Detection method: ABC method, using the vectastain R.T.U. Elite ABC reagent
from **the **Elite ABC kit PK-7200 (vector)* *
Positive and negative controls used (please specify): It was used
formaldehyde fixed and parafin embedded human spinal cord sections to the
positive control, and one section from each slide stained was used to the
negative control without the primary antibody incubation and the results of
this negative controls were satisfactory in all cases.
Optimization attempts (problem solving)
How many times have you tried the IHC?
10 times
Have you run a "No Primary" control?
Yes
Do you obtain the same results every time?
Yes
What steps have you altered?
Time and temperature incubation, with (in different times) and without
antigen retrieval, different blocking solutions and in different times and
different dilutions of the antibody
Additional Notes
We would appreciate if you are also able to provide and image which woudl
help us to assess the results*

Answer

Thank you for taking the time to complete our questionnaire.

The details you have kindly provided will enable us to investigate this case for you and this is also helpful in our records for monitoring of quality.

Reviewing this case, I would like to offer some suggestions to help optimize the results from ab10404. I would also appreciate if you can confirm some further details:

1. I am sorry I am not able to trace any orders for this antibody from Chile.
Please confirm the order number and date of purchase and details of where you purchased from. If you have ordered through a distributor, they will have the order number reference from us.

2. I can recommend to try different time points for antigen retrieval as this can sometimes help optimize the results. For example, try 3, 5, 10 and 20 minutes.

3. I can recommend to continue to use a lower concentration of the antibody, 1:10000 or1:20000. However, I suggest to try adding 0.2% Tween to the antibody dilution buffers and the wash buffers. This will help to solubilise the antibody and also help to wash away any excess antibody.

4. We recommend not to mix blocking agents in one experiment as it can affect the results. I can suggestincreasing the amount of blocking agent in the blocking buffer, try 5% or 10% serum only. And alsoadd 2% Serum to the antibody dilution buffer.

5. Please confirm if the secondary antibody is working well with other rabbit primary antibodies? I can suggest it would be important to consider including a no primary control to assess if the secondary antibody is binding non specifically. What were the results from the no primary control? The concentration of the secondary may need to be reduced to help optimize the results.

I hope this information is helpful, thank you for your cooperation. Should the suggestions not improve the results, please do not hesitate to contact me again with the further requested details including the results of the no primary control.

Question

Hi
I wanna notify you that the antibody "Rabbit polyclonal to PGP9.5 - Neuronal Marker . (ab10404)", does not perform as described on the datasheet. I´ve been tried different ways to get a more specific mark, but the final result is always the same: an overstained tissue with nearly all the cells marked with the antibody. I wanna identify just nervous fibers, not all the cells of the tissue. I´ve been used dilutions of even 1:3500 when the recomended dilution is 1:100-1:300. I wanna to know if does exist the posibility of a replacement or a refund for this antibody and what information you need to do this process.

Best,
