Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))
Specificity
Thisantibody recognizes (Mr300 kDa) MAP-2 protein from bovine brain. The antibody strongly cross-reacts with MAP-2 from Human, Rat, Mouse, Xenopus, quail and Chicken brains. BM2472 reacts with the High Molecular Weight forms (2a & 2b) of MAP-2 but not with the Low Molecular Weight (70 kDa) form (2c). It reacts with dendrites and cell bodies of neurons.

Application Notes
Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections: 1/500. Immunofluorescence: 1/500. Western Blotting: 1-2 μg/mL for 2hrs at RT. Immunohistology (Formalin/Paraffin): 1-2 μg/mL for 30 min at RT. Staining of formalin-fixedtissues REQUIRES boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min. followed by cooling at RT for 20 min. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

MAP2 is the major microtubule associated protein of brain tissue. There are three forms of MAP2, two are similarily sized with apparent molecular weights of 280 kDa (MAP2a and MAP2b) and the third with a lower molecular weight of 70 kDa (MAP2c). The expression of MAP2 is developmentally regulated and its multiple forms arise by alternative splicing of a single gene.Synonyms: MAP2, Microtubule-associated protein 2, Neuronal Marker
