Pre-embedding immunoelectron microscopy using an anti-CAPS-1 antibody.

The antibody (polyclonal antibody directed against rat CAPS1 was generated with GST-rCAPS1 (218-390) fusion protein as the antigen and affinity purified). The specificity of the antibody was tested by Western Blot using CAPS-1 KO brain homogenate in a later study. Specificity of the antibody for immunolabelling was not tested.

Rat cortex subcellular fractions were analyzed by Western blotting using specific anti-CAPS-1 antibodies. CAPS-1 is a soluble protein that localizes to a large soluble synaptic pool in LS2 (cytosolic synaptosomal fraction) and a small membrane bound pool associated with the vesicle fraction LP2 (crude synaptic vesicle fraction).

Antibody information from the M&M: Recombinant GST-rCAPS1 (218-390) fusion protein was generated by using the expression plasmid pGEX-rCAPS1 (218-390), which encodes rat CAPS1 residues 218-390 in frame with GST (18). A polyclonal antibody directed against rat CAPS1 was generated with GST-rCAPS1 (218-390) fusion protein as the antigen. The antiserum was affinity-purified on GST-rCAPS1 (218-390) and immobilized on an Immobilon-P polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore) (19). The antibody was mono-specific for CAPS1 and cross-reacted with the murine orthologue, as demonstrated by Western blots with wild-type and CAPS1-deficient brain tissue from a deletion mutant mouse.

- Cytosol localization is not directly derived from the immuno-EM data, but inferred from refereced biochemical enrichement data (PMID:14530279, see 'Additional literature' section).
