Background of Calretinin
Calbindin is a calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. Calretinin is expressed in central and peripheral nervous system and in many normal and pathological tissues. The rat and human calretinin exhibit 98% sequence homology and 91% homology to many other species. Two calcium binding proteins, calbindin and calretinin, have been reported to be expressed in abundance in Purkinje cells and other cell types in the cerebellum.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Calretinin/CALB2 using anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody (PA1015).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human Hela whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PA1015) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Calretinin/CALB2 at approximately 29 kDa. The expected band size for Calretinin/CALB2 is at 29 kDa.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of Calretinin/CALB2 using anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody (PA1015).
Calretinin/CALB2 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human rectal cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1 μg/ml rabbit anti-Calretinin/CALB2 Antibody (PA1015) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) (Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Figure 5. IF analysis of Calretinin/CALB2 using anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody (PA1015).
Calretinin/CALB2 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of mouse brain tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 5 μg/mL rabbit anti-Calretinin/CALB2 Antibody (PA1015) overnight at 4°C. Biotin conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1003) was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using DyLight®488 Conjugated Avidin (BA1128). The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

6 Customer Q&As for Anti-Calretinin/CALB2 Antibody Picoband®
Question
Would PA1015 anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-04-22
Answer
It shows on the product datasheet, PA1015 anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody as been validated on WB. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.

Question
We are interested in to test anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody PA1015 on mouse adipose tissue cerebellum for research purposes, then I may be interested in using anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody PA1015 for diagnostic purposes as well. Is the antibody suitable for diagnostic purposes?
T. Yang
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-04-18
Answer
The products we sell, including anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody PA1015, are only intended for research use. They would not be suitable for use in diagnostic work. If you have the means to develop a product into diagnostic use, and are interested in collaborating with us and develop our product into an IVD product, please contact us for more discussions.

Question
Does anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody PA1015 work on zebrafish IHC with adipose tissue cerebellum?
T. Patel
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-06-05
Answer
Our lab technicians have not tested anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody PA1015 on zebrafish. You can run a BLAST between zebrafish and the immunogen sequence of anti-Calretinin/CALB2 antibody PA1015 to see if they may cross-react. If the sequence homology is close, then you can perform a pilot test. Keep in mind that since we have not validated zebrafish samples, this use of the antibody is not covered by our guarantee. However we have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in zebrafish adipose tissue cerebellum in IHC, you can get your next antibody for free.
