Background of PKC alpha
Protein kinase C (PKC) is the major phorbol ester receptor. Activation of PKC by calcium ions and the second messenger diacylglycerol is thought to play a central role in the induction of cellular responses to a variety of ligand-receptor systems and in the regulation of cellular responsiveness to external stimuli. Three of these, termed alpha, beta and gamma, are highly homologous. PRKCA1 is mapped to 17q22-q23.2. PRKCA1 regulates cardiac contractility and propensity toward heart failure.
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 PKC alpha using anti-PKC alpha antibody (PB9318).
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 U87 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human HEL whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human A549 whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: human U20S whole cell lysates,
Lane 5: rat brain tissue lysates,
Lane 6: mouse brain tissue 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-PKC alpha antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9318) 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 PKC alpha at approximately 77 kDa. The expected band size for PKC alpha is at 80 kDa.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of PKC alpha using anti-PKC alpha antibody (PB9318).
PKC alpha was detected in paraffin-embedded section of mouse intestine tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-PKC alpha Antibody (PB9318) 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. Western blot analysis of PKC alpha/PRKCA using anti-PKC alpha/PRKCA Antibody (PB9318).
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.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 2.5% BSA on 1X-TBST 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-PKC alpha/PRKCA Antibody (PB9318) at 1:1000 (in 0.5%l BSA containing 1X-TBST) and overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a donkey anti-rabbit Ig-Cy5 secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:1000 (in 0.5%l BSA containing 1X-TBST) at 25°C for 2 h. The signal is developed using an CyDye. A specific band was detected for PKC alpha/PRKCA at approximately 76 kDa. The expected band size for PKC alpha/PRKCA is at 76 kDa.

Question
We are currently using anti-PKC alpha/PRKCA antibody PB9318 for rat tissue, and we are content with the IHC-P results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it true that the antibody can work on primate tissues as well?

Answer
The anti-PKC alpha/PRKCA antibody (PB9318) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with primate 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 primate you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
