Novus Biologicals antibodies against cers2
Fig. 2. <t>CerS2</t> and CerS6 downregulation by targeted siRNA causes multiple changes in nontargeted CerS mRNA levels. A and B: MCF-7 cells were transfected with 5 nM siRNA targeted against CerS (black bars) or siControl (white bars) for 48 h. Cells were harvested, and RNA was extracted for q-PCR analysis of expression of CerS1-6. q-PCR data are normalized to -actin mRNA expres- sion, and data are means ± standard errors of the mean (SEM) for three independent experiments. A: Effects of siCerS2 on CerS1-6 expression. B: Effects of siCerS6 on CerS1-6 expression. C: Western blot analysis of CerS2, CerS6, and -actin protein expression fol- lowing transfection with siCerS1-6. CerS2 and CerS6 were detected using monoclonal antibodies specifi c for these proteins. -actin protein levels were used as a control for equal gel loading. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.01 versus siControl.

Santa Cruz Biotechnology pr clones 1a6
FIG. 1. Identification of PR-positive cell types at the fetal-maternal interface. A, Low-power image of fetal membranes showing the immu- nohistochemical staining patterns obtained with antibodies that detect all isoforms of PR (clone <t>1A6;</t> 1:50) and (C-20; 1:40), antibodies that detect only PR-B (San27, 1:150) and antibodies that detect only PR-A (clone 16; 1:200). An equivalent amount of mouse immunoglobulins (IgG) or antibody preadsorbed with immunizing peptide (BP), against which C-20 antibodies were generated, indicates specificity. Immunoreactivity is indicated with the black arrows in the amniotic (a), the star in the chorionic (c), and red arrows in the decidual (d) layers of the fetal membranes. B, The presence of cytoplasmic PR and an absence of PR-B and PR-A isoforms are demonstrated in term amnion epithelial cells (1, 4, 7, and 10,respectively)andchorioniccytotrophoblasts(2,5,8,and11,respectively).Bothcytoplasmicandstrongnuclearstainingwasobservedinthedecidua (3, 6, 9, and 12), indicating the presence of cytoplasmic and nuclear PR isoforms. C, High-power images of PR immunostaining with clone 1A6, indicating immunoreactivity in the cytoplasm of the amnion epithelial cell (1) and chorionic cytotrophoblast (2). Note the absence of staining in the blue nucleus of either cell type. D, A low-power image of PR immunostaining of the term placenta with clone 1A6 antibodies, indicating immuno- reactivity in the syncytiotrophoblast layer, but absent elsewhere. E, High-power images of PR immunostaining of term placenta, indicating the presence of cytoplasmic PR in the syncytiotrophoblast but not nuclear PR-B and PR-A isoforms (E; 1, 2, and 3); whereas basal plate decidual cells contained both cytoplasmic and nuclear PR isoforms (4, 5, and 6, arrowed). These data suggest the cytoplasmic PR staining in amnion epithelial cells, cytotrophoblasts, syncytiotrophoblasts, and decidual cells is not PR-B or PR-A but PR-S, PR-M, or PR-C. Data are representative of six independent samples. Images were obtained at magnification 100 (A), 1000 (B), 4000 (C), 200 (D), and 400 (E).

Gentest Corp rabbit anti-human ugt1a6 primary antibody
<t>UGT1A6*1</t> and UGT1A6 105TT constructs were stably transfected into HEK293 cells. ( A ) Cells were harvested upon treatment with ActD at different time point up to 24 hours. The data plotted are time course changes in the remaining amount of UGT1A6 mRNA after ActD treatment. There was significantly higher mRNA level in UGT1A6 105TT than UGT1A6*1 transfected cells at 4 hours (p = 0.039) and 8 hours (p = 0.004) after treatment with ActD. ( B ) Western blot analysis. Cell lysate used was from 5×10 5 cells at the indicated times (0, 8, 24 and 48 hours) after treatment with ActD. There was a down-regulation in protein expression in UGT1A6*1 as compared to UGT1A6 variant at 48 hours after treatment with ActD. UGT1A6 activity was assessed by evaluating the production of serotonin glucuronide using lysate from variant UGT1A6 (VT) and UGT1A6*1 (WT) at 0 hour ( C ) and 48 hours ( D ) after ActD treatment, with substrate concentrations varied from 0.5 to 30 mM serotonin. Activities are expressed as reaction velocity (nanomoles of serotonin glucuronide formed per minute per milligram of protein).

A, Low-power image of fetal membranes showing the immu- nohistochemical staining patterns obtained with antibodies that detect all isoforms of PR (clone 1A6; 1:50) and (C-20; 1:40), antibodies that detect only PR-B (San27, 1:150) and antibodies that detect only PR-A (clone 16; 1:200). An equivalent amount of mouse immunoglobulins (IgG) or antibody preadsorbed with immunizing peptide (BP), against which C-20 antibodies were generated, indicates specificity. Immunoreactivity is indicated with the black arrows in the amniotic (a), the star in the chorionic (c), and red arrows in the decidual (d) layers of the fetal membranes.

Note the absence of staining in the blue nucleus of either cell type.

These data suggest the cytoplasmic PR staining in amnion epithelial cells, cytotrophoblasts, syncytiotrophoblasts, and decidual cells is not PR-B or PR-A but PR-S, PR-M, or PR-C.

FIG. 3. Confirmation that the PR isoform in human fetal membranes at term is primarily PR-C. A, Protein extracts from fetal membrane samples that had decidua attached (lane 1) and fetal membranes that had the decidua scraped away (lane 2) were compared with extracts from term amnion (lane 3), chorion (lane 4), and decidua (lane 5) that were obtained from crude tissue separation methods and term pla- centa (lane 6), myometrium (lane 7), and breast cancer (T47D cell) extracts (lane 8). The antibody clones used were 1A6 (upper series) that detects all PR isoforms (see lane 8) and C-20 (lower series) that detects additional isoforms (see lane 8). The data indicate the pres- ence of a major PR isoform of approximately 60 kDa in all the fetal membrane samples and that tissues contaminated with decidua were devoid of significant levels of the PR-B but contain small amounts of PR-A isoforms that are easily detected in myometrium and T47D cell controls. Placenta and term decidua also indicate the presence of PR-C as the major PR isoform, although other PR isoforms were observed. The 38-kDa PR-M isoform was observed only in the tissues contaminated with deciduas and T47D extracts with these antibodies. B, Confirmation that the antibodies detect the 60-kDa PR-C isoform was obtained by immunoblotting an extract obtained from human choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells transiently transfected with a human PR-C and probed with C-20 antibodies () or C-20 antibodies pread- sorbed with immunizing peptide (). C, Further confirmation of the nature of the main PR isoform in the amnion was obtained by probing immunoblot extracts of T47D (control) and term amnion (Am) with the 1A6 antibody clone preabsorbed with BeWo cell extracts (no trans- fection) or BeWo extracts transiently transfected with human PR-C (hPRc) or PR-A (hPRa) expression plasmids. These data indicate that only hPRc significantly inhibited the immunoreactivity of the ap- proximately 60-kDa band, suggesting that this protein is the PR-C isoform.

The data plotted are time course changes in the remaining amount of UGT1A6 mRNA after ActD treatment. There was significantly higher mRNA level in UGT1A6 105TT than UGT1A6*1 transfected cells at 4 hours (p = 0.039) and 8 hours (p = 0.004) after treatment with ActD. ( B ) Western blot analysis. Cell lysate used was from 5×10 5 cells at the indicated times (0, 8, 24 and 48 hours) after treatment with ActD. There was a down-regulation in protein expression in UGT1A6*1 as compared to UGT1A6 variant at 48 hours after treatment with ActD. UGT1A6 activity was assessed by evaluating the production of serotonin glucuronide using lysate from variant UGT1A6 (VT) and UGT1A6*1 (WT) at 0 hour ( C ) and 48 hours ( D ) after ActD treatment, with substrate concentrations varied from 0.5 to 30 mM serotonin. Activities are expressed as reaction velocity (nanomoles of serotonin glucuronide formed per minute per milligram of protein).
