- Description
- PA1-1045 detects Visfatin (PBEF) in human samples. PA1-1045 has been successfully used in Western blot procedures. In Western blot analysis of human adipose tissue lysate this antibody detects a ~52 kDa protein representing Visfatin. The PA1-1045 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues S (472) F D E I R K N A Q L N I E L E A A H H (491) of human Visfatin.

- Western blot analysis was performed on whole cell extracts (20 µg lysate) of U-87 MG (Lane 1), PC-3 (Lane 2), A-431 (Lane 3), HCT 116 (lane 4) and Jurkat (lane 5). The blots were probed with Anti-Visfatin Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA1-1045, 1:250-1:1000 dilution) and detected by chemiluminescence using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (Product # A27036, 0.4 µg/mL, 1:2500 dilution). A 55 kDa band corresponding to Visfatin was observed across cell lines tested. Known quantity of protein samples were electrophoresed using Novex® NuPAGE® 12 % Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0342BOX), XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System (Product # EI0002) and Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard (Product # LC5800). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane with iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The membrane was probed with the relevant primary and secondary Antibody following blocking with 5 % skimmed milk. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce™ ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Product # 32106).

- Immunofluorescence analysis of Visfatin was done on 70% confluent log phase U87MG cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Visfatin Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA1-1045) at 1 µg/mL in 0.1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate (Product # A27034) at a dilution of 1:2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # S36938). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor® 555 Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300). Panel d is a merged image showing nuclear localization. Panel e is a no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 60X magnification.

- Flow cytometry analysis of Visfatin was done on U-87 MG cells. Cells were fixed with 70% ethanol for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 20 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were labeled with Visfatin Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (PA11045, red histogram) or with rabbit isotype control (pink histogram) at 3-5 ug/million cells in 2.5% BSA. After incubation at room temperature for 2 hours, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit Secondary Antibody (A11008) at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature. The representative 10,000 cells were acquired and analyzed for each sample using an Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer. The purple histogram represents unstained control cells and the green histogram represents no-primary-antibody control.

- Figure 1 The expression of visfatin in the serum and joint tissues of patients with hip OA. ( A ) Serum extracellular visfatin concentrations were determined by ELISA in n = 76 hip OA patients of varying BMI. ( B ) Expression of total visfatin under reducing conditions in w/w matched tissue samples (serum (S), cartilage (c), bone (B), synovium (Sy), synovial fluid (Sy.f), infrapatellar fat pad (IFP), adipose (A), and muscle (M)) ( n = 3 in total, representative blots shown). Recombinant visfatin (r.Vis) indicates the molecular weight region. ( C ) Confirmation of detection of visfatin in cartilage. Cartilage visfatin expression was confirmed through increasing cartilage (C) protein load and reducing adipose (A) and serum (S) protein load. ( D ) Tissue panel of a Western blot sample from normal-weight (NW) and obese (OB) individuals with hip OA. All samples were normalised to mug of total protein loaded, and an equal loading was confirmed by ponceau-S staining and actin expression. ( E ) Western blots were analysed using Image J software and the densitometry was compared in NW and OB patients. Relative density was calculated according to the protein loading control and plotted against patient BMI.
