Anti-rat NIS antibody (affinity purified)

Description: Polyclonal antibody to rat NIS 

Antigen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 603-618 of the rat sodium iodide symporter

Detects both the native and denatured forms of rNIS. This antibody recognizes an intracellular C-terminal epitope that is conserved between rat and mouse NIS

Host Species: Rabbit

Isotype: Not applicable. Polyclonal affinity purified antibody.

Concentration: 1 mg/mL

Species reactivity: Rat, mouse 


Tested Applications:

  • Flow cytometry (1:500 dilution)
  • Immunofluorescence (1:500 dilution) 
  • Immunohistochemistry (1:500 dilution)
  • Western Blotting (1:500 to 1:1,000 dilution)

Immunofluorescence staining for rat NIS expression:

HelaH1 cells stably-expressing (left) rat NIS or (right) human NIS were permeabilized and stained with anti-rat NIS antibody (1:500 dilution) followed by an Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody and Hoechst 33342 to stain nuclei. Cell photos were taken at 200X magnification.

Immunoblotting for rat NIS protein:

Total protein (10 mg) from HeLaH1 cells stably-expressing rat (lane 1), dog (lane 2), pig (lane 3), or rhesus (lane 4) NIS were subjected to SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis using anti-rat NIS antibody (1:3,000 dilution) and HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody. The top band (~75-90 kDa) represents the hyperglycosylated form of rNIS, while the bottom band (~60 kDa) represents the hypoglycosylated form of rNIS. Data from Dr. Nancy Carrasco's (Yale University) laboratory.
