Western Blot (WB) (strong>Figure 2 Independent Antibody Validation (IAV) via Protein Expression Profile in Cell LinesLoading: 15 μg of lysates per lane.Antibodies: TACE 1131 (0.5 μg/mL), TACE 22-001 (2 μg/mL), and GAPDH (0.02 μg/mL), 1h incubation at RT in 5% NFDM/TBST.Secondary: Goat anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugate at 1:10000 dilution.)
Immunocytochemistry (IHC) (Figure 4 Immunocytochemistry Validation of TACE in HeLa CellsImmunohistochemical analysis of HeLa cells using anti-TACE antibody (1131) at 10 μg/ml. Cells was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 h at RT; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation with a citrate buffer (pH6). Samples were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4˚C. A goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) at 1/250 was used as secondary. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.)
Western Blot (WB) (Figure 5 KD Validation of TACE in Monkey COS Cells. (Wang et al., 2006)COS cells stably expressing Pref-1A were transfected with control siRNA or TACE siRNA. TACE was detected in lysates by using the anti-TACE antibody (1131). TACE expression levels were markedly reduced in TACE knockdown cell lysate.)
Western Blot (WB) (Figure 6 KD Validation of TACE in MDA-MB-435 Cells. (McGowan et al., 2007)ADAM-17 protein expression, following transfection with ADAM-17 shRNA (two clones) or neomycin-resistant negative control vector, was examined by immunoblot analysis with anti-ADAM-17 antibodies (1131).)
Western Blot (WB) (Figure 7 Overexpression Validation of TACE in MCF-7 Cells. (McGowan et al., 2007)ADAM-17 (TACE) protein expression, following transfection of vector and ADAM-17 cDNA, was examined by immunoblot analysis with anti-ADAM-17 (1131) antibodies in MCF-7 cells. Increased ADAM-17 was detected in ADAM-17 transfected cells.)

Western blot analysis of TACE in homogenates from control, glutamate, and OGD-exposed cultures from a representative experiment.)
Immunofluorescence (IF) (Figure 9 Immunofluorescence Validation of TACE in Rat Cortical Neurons (Hurtado et al., 2002)Double immunostaining of control and glutamate-exposed rat cortical cultures. (A) Control cultures show TACE immunoreactivity at the cellular membrane of some microglial cells (B) Glutamate-exposed cultures show that most microglial cells express TACE immunoreactivity.(C) Control cultures show that TACE immunostaining does not colocalize with astrocytes [glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells]. (D) Astrocyte (GFAP-positive cell) showing TACE immunoreactivity in its surface after treatment with glutamate.)

Double immunofluorescence staining of brain sections from sham-operated (SHAM; A, C, E) and IPC-exposed animals (IPC; B, D, F) of TACE (red) and the cellular markers (green) NeuN (neurons; A, B), GFAP (astrocytes; C, D) and L. esculentum lectin (microglia and endothelium; E, F). White arrows indicate TACE-positive cells.)
