MAP-2 Antibody (18) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). MAP-2 plays a crucial role in the stabilization and assembly of microtubules, which are essential components of the cytoskeletal network that provide structural support and shape to cells. MAP-2 is primarily located in neuronal cell bodies and dendrites, where MAP-2 is vital for maintaining the integrity of the neuronal cytoskeleton and facilitating intracellular transport. MAP-2 is particularly important in neuronal development and plasticity, as MAP-2 influences the morphology of dendritic spines and synaptic connections. Dysregulation of MAP-2 has been associated with various neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting MAP-2′s significance in maintaining neuronal health. Anti-MAP-2 antibody (18) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying microtubule dynamics and their implications in cellular processes and neurological disorders.

I am using MAP-2 (18): sc-135979 for immunofluorescence, what dilution of this antibody should I use?

Asked by: Professor Griffin
Thank you for your question. We recommend a starting dilution of 1:50. However, optimal antibody concentration should be determined by titration. Please find our full immunofluorescence protocol here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunofluorescence-cell-staining
