MAP-2 Antibody (B-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects MAP-2 in human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MAP-2 is a crucial microtubule-associated protein that plays a significant role in stabilizing microtubules and facilitating their assembly, which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of neurons. Anti-MAP-2 antibody (B-8) recognizes protein predominantly located in the dendrites of neurons, where MAP-2 contributes to the organization of the cytoskeleton and supports the transport of organelles and signaling molecules. The proper localization and function of MAP-2 are vital for neuronal development and plasticity, as disruptions in MAP-2 expression or function can lead to neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairments. MAP-2 monoclonal antibody (B-8) provides reliable detection and analysis of MAP-2, enabling researchers to explore MAP-2′s role in cellular processes and implications in neurological disorders.

How specific is the reactivity of this antibody for human MAP2 protein? And is there any data for cross-reactivity with mouse and rat tissue? Would like to use it to identify human xenograft in mouse spinal cord.

Asked by: xtensibleMlanguage
Thank you for your question. MAP-2 Antibody (B-8): sc-74420 is only recommended for detection of MAP-2 of human origin by WB, IP, IF, IHC(P) and ELISA. There is data for this antibody in murine cerebral cortices and there may be cross-reactivity with rat samples in different tissues as well.

Can MAP-2 (B-8): sc-74420 monoclonal antibody be used to stain formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections?

Asked by: Trav11
Thank you for your question. Yes, MAP-2 (B-8): sc-74420 has been validated for use in IHC with paraffin-embedded sections. We recommend performing antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and heat. The full protocol can be found here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunoperoxidase-staining
