          Galectin 3 Antibody (MA1-940) in ICC/IF

          Immunofluorescent analysis of Galectin 3 (green) showing staining in the cytoplasm and nucleus of NIH-3T3 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with a Galectin 3 monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-940) in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1:100 and incubated overnight at 4 ºC i...

          Product Specific Information

          MA1-940 detects galectin-3 from human, mouse and rat tissues.

          MA1-940 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, immunocytochemistry and ELISA procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~30 kDa protein representing galectin-3 from Jurkat cells transfected with human galectin-3. Immunohistochemical staining of galectin-3 in rat olfactory bulb with MA1-940 yields a pattern consistent with nuclear and plasma membrane staining. This antibody is not suitable for mouse NIH-3T3 in Western blot analysis. This antibody also detects a non-specific band in Hela cell lysates at ~21 kDa.

          MA1-940 antigen is full length recombinant human galectin-3. The epitope for this antibody has been mapped to the first 58 amino acids of galectin-3.

          Target Information

          Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis. In the nucleus: acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Involved in acute inflammatory responses including neutrophil activation and adhesion, chemoattraction of monocytes macrophages, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and activation of mast cells.
