Protein Gene Product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) is an abundant cytoplasmic neuron and neuroendocrine-cell specific protein. Over the years, this deubiquitinating enzyme (a.k.a. Ubiquitin Carboxy-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1)) has become an accepted biomarker for neurons and cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system (DNES) but also when studying neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases) and cancers.

Research antibodies specific for PGP9.5 / UCH-L1 stain neuronal cell bodies and axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems, small nerve fibres in nerve tissue, neuroendocrine cells in the pituitary, thyroid pancreas, and also tumours of the DNES.

In this context, Cedarlane just release 2 new anti-PGP9.5 / UCHL1 rabbit polyclonal antibodies fully validated & guaranteed for IHC analysis of Paraffin Embedded Sections, IF and WB applications on Human, Rat and Mouse tissues.

There is a high demand for selective fluorescent probes for the imaging of particular organelles and biomarkers in living cells. This is particularly the case for mitochondrial research. In this post, we will focus on another type of powerful research tools (ie. primary antibodies) that have been proven to be very useful for studying mitochondria. The 10 antibodies highlighted here have been successfully used by our clients for immunoblotting of mitochondrial proteins and are all covered by tebu-bio’s Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry enables the identification and analysis of signaling and functional markers within cells from samples containing heterogeneous cell populations. Many cell types can be thus identified through their intracellular Flow Cytometry patterns and key intracellular signaling pathways and their respective post-translational modifications can be conveniently analysed. Behind these unique performances, Intracellular Flow Cytometry require anyhow optimized immunoreagents for cell permeabilization, intracellular staining and fluorescent detection.

Whatever the research domain (oncology, cardiovascular diseases, Diabetis/obesity, inflammation, autoimmune disorders…), phosphorylation study is essential when looking for activation of cell signaling pathways. In 2014, we strived to bring researchers practical technical tips to obtain reliable results when analysing phospho-proteins. In this post, we’ll be taking a look at 7 popular and robust phospho-specific antibodies.
