Western blot analysis of Ataxin-2 on Jurkat cell lysate (left). Lane 1: 1:250, lane 2: 1:500, lane 3: 1:1000 dilution of anti-Ataxin-2. Immunofluorescent staining of SH-SY5Y cells (right).  Cells were seeded in a collagen coated 384 well imaging plate (Material # 353962) at ~ 8,000 cells per well.  After overnight incubation, cells were stained using the Triton X100 fix/perm protocol (see Recommended Assay Procedure) and the anti-Ataxin antibody.  The second step reagent was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti mouse Ig (Invitrogen).  The image was taken on a Pathway 855 or 435 imager using a 20x objective.  This antibody also stained SK-N-SH, C6, U87 and U373 cells using both the Triton X100 and methanol fix/perm protocols (see Recommended Assay Procedure).

Recommended Assay Procedures

Methanol Procedure for a 96 well plate:

Remove media from wells. Add 100 µl/well fresh 3.7% Formaldehyde in PBS. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT). Flick out and add 100 µl/well 90% methanol. Incubate for 5 minutes at RT. Flick out and wash twice with PBS. Flick out PBS and add 100 µl/well blocking buffer (3% FBS in PBS). Incubate for 30 minutes at RT. Flick out and add diluted antibody (diluted in blocking buffer). Incubate for 1 hour at RT. Wash three times with PBS. Flick out PBS and add second step reagent. Incubate for 1 hour at RT. Wash three times with PBS. Image sample.

Triton-X 100 Procedure for a 96 well plate:

Remove media from wells. Add 100 µl/well fresh 3.7% Formaldehyde in PBS. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT). Flick out and add 100 µl/well 0.1% Triton-X 100. Incubate for 5 minutes at RT. Flick out and wash twice with PBS. Flick out PBS and add 100 µl/well blocking buffer (3% FBS in PBS). Incubate for 30 minutes at RT. Flick out and add diluted antibody (diluted in blocking buffer). Incubate for 1 hour at RT. Flick out and wash three times with PBS. Flick out and add second step reagent. Incubate for 1 hour at RT. Flick out and wash three times with PBS. Image sample.

22/Ataxin-2

The hereditary ataxias are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by abnormalities of balance due to dysfunction of the cerebellum and cerebellar pathways. Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) represent a heterogeneous group of disorders with a prevalence of about 1 in 10^5. Moderate expansion (36 or 37 units) of CAG repeats on the SCA2 gene leads to a gene product, ataxin-2, that has a long polyglutamine tract. Ataxin-2 is a basic protein with two domains (Sm1 and Sm2) that have been implicated in RNA splicing and protein interaction. Human ataxin-2 has significant homology with mouse ataxin-2 and ataxin-2 related protein. Ataxin-2 is expressed as early as day 8 of mouse embryogenesis and is detected in brain, heart, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreas, but not in lung or kidney. Expression increases with age and the protein is localized to the cytoplasm in purkinje cells and other neuronal cell types. Thus, ataxin-2 is thought to be important for RNA splicing or protein complex formation in many normal tissues, while polyglutamine containing ataxin-2 leads to neuropathology.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
