This anti-Cardiac Troponin T2 antibody is a Mouse Monoclonal antibody detecting Cardiac Troponin T2 in WB, ICS and IHC (f). Suitable for Human, Mouse, Rat, Pig, Rabbit, Dog, Chicken and Guinea Pig. This Primary Antibody has been cited in 7+ publications.
The 13-11 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Troponin T type 2 (cardiac), encoded by the gene TNNT2. Troponin T is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex, which also encompasses troponin C and troponin I. This complex regulates muscle contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscle in response to alterations in calcium levels. Troponin T type 2 is solely found in the heart, and genetic alterations in the TNNT2 gene are associated to a series of heart disorders in humans, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular noncompaction. Cardiac Troponin T can be used as a marker for the identification of cardiomyocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells. LEFT PANEL: Western blot analysis of Cardiac Troponin T expression in human and mouse tissues. Human heart lysate was obtained from Abcam (Cat .No. ab2943, lane 1). C2C12 mouse myoblasts (ATCC CRL-1772) were cultured in DMEM containing 10 % FBS (lane 2) or 0.5 % FBS for 14 days for induction of cell differentiation (lane 3). Lysates were prepared, electrophoresed (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were labeled with 1 μg/mL of Purified Mouse Anti-Cardiac Troponin T. Specific staining was detected with HRP Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Cat. No. 554002). RIGHT PANEL: Immunohistochemical staining of Cardiac Troponin T in human heart. Following antigen retrieval with BD Retrievagen A Buffer (Cat. No. 550524), the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections were stained with either Purified Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control (Cat. No.550878, left) or Purified Mouse Anti-Cardiac Troponin T (right). A three-step staining procedure that employs Biotin Goat Anti-Mouse Immunoglobulin (Cat. No. 550337), Streptavidin HRP (Cat. No.550946), and the DAB Substrate Kit (Cat. No. 550880) was used to develop the primary staining reagents. Original magnification: 40x. Flow cytometric analysis of Cardiac Troponin T in human (left panel) and mouse (right panel) cardiomyocytes differentiated in vitro. Human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (Evans lab, UCSD) were disassociated and fixed in BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash buffer I (Cat. No. 557885). The C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line (ATCC CRL-1772) was cultured for 5 days in low-serum conditions for induction of cell differentiation, fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer, and permeabilized with BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were stained with either Purified Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554121, dashed line) or Purified Mouse Anti-Cardiac Troponin T (solid line). The second-step reagents were FITC Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Cat. No. 554001, left) and PE Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Cat. No. 550589, right). Events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells were gated. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSR Fortessa™ (left) or a BD FACSCanto™ II (right) flow cytometry system.
