Cell/tissue total protein lysates were boiled in 1X SDS Sample Buffer containing 1% SDS and 1.25% β-mercaptoethanol at 95°C for 5 minutes prior to loading. 15 μg of boiled lysate were loaded and resolved on a 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The Precision Plus Protein™ All Blue Prestained Standards from BioRad (161-0373) were used as molecular mass markers. Proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane by tank transfer and protein transfer was confirmed with Ponceau S staining. The immunoblot membrane was blocked in 2.5% skim milk and 1.5% BSA solution in TTBS at room temperature for 60 minutes. The membrane was washed in TTBS twice for 5 minutes each. The membrane was immersed with the protein side up in the antibody solution in TBS and incubated overnight at 4°C with gentle agitation. The membrane was rinsed twice with TTBS. The membrane was washed in TTBS twice for 5 minutes each. The membrane was washed in TTBS once for 15 minutes. The membrane was incubated in the HRP-conjugated secondary antibody solution in TBS for 60 minutes at room temperature with gentle agitation. The membrane was rinsed twice with TTBS. The membrane was washed in TTBS twice for 5 minutes each. The membrane was washed in TTBS once for 15 minutes. Signals were detected by chemiluminescence (ECL). The blot was scanned for 320 seconds. The membrane was rinsed three times with TTBS. Repeated Steps 4-15 with the loading control antibody and its matching secondary antibody.

VALIDATION REPORT: FAAH Antibody (STJ23602)

BACKGROUND

Antibody: FAAH AntibodyMethod of Validation: ImmunofluorescenceValidator: Natalia Malek (PhD Student)Supplier Catalog Number: STJ23602Supplier: St John’s Laboratory Experimental Notes: We completed evaluation of FAAH antibody. It worked really well, so we decided to purchase a vial from St John’s Laboratory.

INDEPENDENT VALIDATION METHODS

Primary Antibody: FAAH antibody (Dilution 1:50)

PROTOCOL

Samples were frozen and stored at -80°C until sections were cut at 12 μm thick and collected onto gelatin-coated slides (Menzel GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany). For immunofluorescence labeling, serial sections of DRG were hydrated in PB buffer (pH=7.4) for 15 mins. Cell membranes were permeabilised in PB containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and afterwards incubated for 1 h in 10% normal goat serum (NGS, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, USA) in PB containing 0.4% Triton X-100 (blocking solution). Sections were incubated for 48 hrs at 4°C in a humid chamber with the respective primary antibodies (FAAH, St. John’s laboratory; 1:50). After three washes in PB, triple immunofluorescence was revealed by incubation at 4°C in for 24 hrs in the dark with the appropriate fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibody. Sections were washed 3 times for 15 mins with PB and coverslipped with Aquatex mounting medium (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). The sections processed for immunofluorescence were studied with a fluorescence microscope (DM RXA2) with confocal scanner (TCS SL) (Leica Microsystems GmbH, Manheim, Germany) equipped with the following lasers: Ar 488, He-Ne 543, He-Ne 633.

FAAH antibody has been independently validated for immunofluorescence by PhD student from Institute of Pharmacology Polish Academy of Sciences.

PROTOCOL

Plating the cells: 200k of HEK293 cells were plated in each wells in a 24 well plate and cultured overnight in serum free media in an incubator at 37C with 5% CO2.

Transfection Cells were transfected with pLV-mCherry using Lipofectamine 2000 according to manufacturer's protocol and grown overnight before fixing.

Fixing/permeablization/staining Cells were fixed with 4% PFA for 15 min at RT. Cells were permeablized with 0.1% Triton-X100 for 30 min. Afterwards, cells were blocked using 1% BSA for 30 min. Cells were incubated with mCherry antibody (1:200, 1 mg/mL) or isotype control (1:400, 2 mg/mL) at RT for 1 hr. Cells were washed with PBS 3X at 5 min each Cells were incubated with Goat anti-Mouse IgG(H+L) conjugated with HRP (1:200) for 30 min at RT. Colormetric signal was developed using DAB solutions.
