SEE ALSO...

Arc Antibody (C-7) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody designed to target the Arc protein, also known as activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein or Arg3.1, by recognizing amino acids 1-300 of the human Arc protein. Anti-Arc antibody (C-7) can detect Arc across multiple species, including mouse, rat, and human, and is suitable for various applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The Arc protein is a critical immediate early gene involved in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory, playing a pivotal role in regulating the cytoskeleton and modulating synaptic strength in response to neuronal activity. Arc expression is rapidly induced by growth factors and neurotransmitters, facilitating long-term cellular responses and neuroplastic changes essential for cognitive functions. Arc is predominantly localized in neuronal cell bodies and dendrites within key brain regions like the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, striatum, and cortex, where Arc interacts with F-Actin and other actin-associated proteins to influence dendritic spine morphology and synaptic efficacy. Arc (C-7) antibody is available in both non-conjugated form and various conjugated variants, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates, providing versatile tools for diverse experimental setups. Additionally, Arc expression has been linked to responses to stimuli such as cocaine, underscoring Arc′s role in activity-dependent gene regulation and potential implications in neurological disorders. Arc monoclonal antibody (C-7) enables researchers to thoroughly investigate the dynamic regulation of Arc protein in various biological contexts, thereby advancing our understanding of neural plasticity and related pathologies.

I have tested this antibody in WB and IF. Works very well in both at 1:500. However, we are detecting two strong bands in WB around 55kDa. The second band is heavier and less abundant than the lighter band. What could this be? its too light to be dimer

Hi, Can I use Arc Antibody (C-7) HRP for ELISA to detect low abundant of Arc in mouse tissue? Do you have a protocol for this? Thank you.

Asked by: Jackie2021
Thank you for your question. We have not yet tested this Arc Antibody (C-7): sc-17839 for ELISA in cells or tissues. We do recommend and warranty the antibody for ELISA based on reactivity of the antibody in other applications, as well as for indirect ELISA against the antibody’s antigen. Unfortunately, we do not have a protocol for using the HRP conjugated Arc antibody in ELISA. We recommend searching online for ELISA protocols using HRP conjugated antibodies for detection in tissues.

Hi, I was wondering if this antibody has been tested for IHC in ferret brain. Thank you!

Asked by: Silei
Thank you for your question. This antibody has not yet been tested in ferret and so that is not a recommended species at this time. It may work, but we can not warranty it for that use. We are still gathering data to show on our website. Check back for updates!

Can I use this antibody for immunostaining in HEK29 cells and would it be necessary to perform antigen retrieval?

Asked by: Donya
Thank you for your question. This antibody has not yet been tested for IHC on paraffin tissue sections, so we can not recommend it for that use. It is recommended for IF and IHC on fresh frozen tissue samples. If you do want to try it on paraffin embedded tissues, i would highly recommend performing an antigen retrieval step.
