Application Details

Sample Volume: 5 μL

Protocol: 1. Seed ~10,000 cells in appropriate culture medium in a BD Falcon™ 96-well Imaging Plate (Cat. No. 353219) and culture overnight.
2. Remove the culture medium from the wells and fix the cells by adding 100 µl of fresh 3.7% Formaldehyde in PBS or BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) to each well and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT).
3. Remove the fixative from the wells, and permeabilize the cells using either cold methanol or Triton™ X-100.
a. Add 100 myl of -20°C 90% methanol or -20°C BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) to each well and incubate (5 min, RT). OR
b. Add 100 µl of 0.1% Triton™ X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich Cat. No. X-100) to each well and incubate (5 min, RT).
4. Remove the permeabilizer from the wells, and wash wells twice with 100 myl of 1x PBS.
5. Remove the PBS and block the cells by adding 100 myl of blocking buffer, eg, BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) (Cat. No. 554656) or 3% FBS in 1x PBS to each well and incubate (30 min, RT).
6. Meanwhile, put 5 ul (1 test size) Bioimaging Certified fluorescent antibodies into 45 ul of Stain Buffer, protect from light.
7. Remove the blocking buffer and add 50 myl of prepared fluorescent antibody per well and incubate (60 min, RT), protect from light.
8. Remove the fluorescent antibody and wash the wells three times with 100 myl of 1x PBS.
9. Remove the PBS and counterstain the nuclei by adding 100 µl of a 2 µg/ml solution of Hoechst 33342 (Cat. No. 561908) in 1x PBS to each well at least 15 minutes before imaging.
10. View and analyze the cells using an appropriate imaging instrument.

Target Details for beta Catenin

Target: beta Catenin (CATNB) (Catenin, beta (CATNB))

Alternative Name: beta-Catenin

Background: The 14/Beta-Catenin monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Beta-Catenin (beta-Catenin). beta-Catenin is a 92 kDa protein that binds to the cytoplasmic tail of E-Cadherin. The cadherins, transmembrane adhesion molecules, are found with catenins at adherens junctions (zonula adherens). Deletions in the cytoplasmic domain of E-Cadherin which eliminate catenin binding also result in a loss of cell adhesion, indicating that this binding is essential for E-Cadherin function. Although the alpha- and beta-Catenins have been cloned, very little is known about their biochemical roles. However a link between beta-Catenin and colon cancer has been described. beta-Catenin was found to co-immunoprecipitate with the APC tumor suppressor protein in human colorectal tumor cell lines, as well as in human kidney 293 cells. E-Cadherin, however, was not detectable in these complexes. Thus the APC-Catenin complex may be affecting the transmission of contact inhibition signals and/or the regulation of cell adhesion.
