Background of Galectin-1
Galectin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS1 gene. The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Galectin-1 may act as an autocrine negative growth factor that regulates cell proliferation. Galectin-1 expression in Hodgkin Lymphoma has also been shown to mediate immunosuppression of CD8+ T-cells. It is thought to play a role in creating immune tolerance in pregnancy. It has been found that Galectin-1-mediated production of IL6 may assist in augmenting the innate immune response against NiV. Galectin-1 may also be a significant factor that augments the efficiency of the HIV-1 infection process.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Galectin 1 using anti-Galectin 1 antibody (A00470).
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 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: mouse thymus tissue lysates,
Lane 2: mouse kidney tissue lysates,
Lane 3: mouse testis tissue lysates,
Lane 4: mouse ovary tissue lysates,
Lane 5: rat heart tissue lysates,
Lane 6: rat skeletal muscle tissue lysates,
Lane 7: rat gaster tissue lysates,
Lane 8: rat testis tissue lysates.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA 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-Galectin 1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A00470) at 0.5 ug/mL overnight at 4 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 1:10000 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 Galectin 1 at approximately 15KD. The expected band size for Galectin 1 is at 15KD.

Question
My colleagues were content with the WB result of your anti-Galectin 1/Lgals1 antibody. However we have been able to see positive staining in placenta skin extracellular space using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is LGALS1 supposed to be expressed?

Question
We ordered your anti-Galectin 1/Lgals1 antibody for WB on liver in a previous project. I am using mouse, and We are going to use the antibody for IHC next. I am interested in examining liver as well as spleen in our next experiment. Could give a recommendation on which antibody would work the best for IHC?

Question
We are currently using anti-Galectin 1/Lgals1 antibody A00470 for rat tissue, and we are happy with the IHC results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says mouse, rat. Is it likely that the antibody can work on dog tissues as well?
D. Singh
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-04-01
Answer
The anti-Galectin 1/Lgals1 antibody (A00470) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with dog tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in dog you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
