Claudin 18 Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Immunofluorescent analysis of Claudin-18 was done on 90% confluent log phase Caco-2 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Claudin-18 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Product # 700178) at a dilution of 1:500 in 1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Product # A-11008) at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # S36938). Panel c is a merged image showing cell junction localization and panel d is a no primary antibody control. The images were captured using a Nikon microscope at 20X magnification.

Claudin 18 Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) (IHC (P)) — Immunohistochemistry analysis of Claudin-18 was performed on paraffin-embedded human normal stomach and squamous lung carcinoma tissue sections. To expose target proteins, endogenous peroxide blocking followed by heat induced epitope retrieval was performed using Tris-EDTA (pH 9. 0) buffer for 15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 0. 2% BSA with 0. 1% cold fish skin gelatin in 1X PBS for 1 hour in a humidified chamber. The tissues were then probed with a Claudin-18 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Product # 700178) at a dilution of 2 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature in a humidified chamber. Detection was performed using an HRP-conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit secondary antibody (Product # G-21234), followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Images were taken at 40x (normal stomach) or 20x (lung carcinoma) magnification. Note membrane staining of normal stomach and cytoplasmic staining of lung carcinoma.

Claudin 18 Antibody in Western Blot (WB) — Western blot analysis of Claudin-18 was performed by loading 30 µg of rat Heart, A431 and A549 lysates using Novex®NuPAGE®4-12% Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0321BOX), XCell SureLock Electrophoresis System (Product # EI0002), Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard (Product # LC5800), and iBlot® Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and blocked with 5% skim milk for 1 hour at room temperature. Claudin-18 was detected at ~27 kDa using Claudin-18 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Product # 700178) at a 1:1000 dilution in 2.5% skim milk at 4°C overnight on a rocking platform. Detection was performed using an HRP-conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit secondary antibody (Product # G-21234) at a 1:5000 dilution and chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce™ ECL Western blotting Substrate (Product # 32106).

Claudin 18 Antibody — Figure 4. BMS-345541 destabilized tight junction associated claudin-18. Primary rat alveolar epithelial cells were isolated and cultured on Transwell permeable supports for 5 d to produce model type I cell monolayers. The cells were then incubated overnight with vehicle control ( A , C ) or 4 muM BMS-345541( B , D ), fixed and processed to image claudin-18 by immunofluorescence microscopy. Magnified insets are shown in C , D . In contrast to control cells, where claudin-18 was strongly localized to tight junctions at the plasma membrane, cells treated with BMS-345541 showed linear trails emanating from the plasma membrane (tight junction spikes; arrowheads). Bar - 10 micron. {TM}

( A ) H&E staining of mutant pancreata showing epithelial structures composed of columnar cells with abundant supranuclear cytoplasm and basally located nuclei. ( B ) Alcian blue staining. Columnar mutant epithelial cells showed blue-stained supranuclear mucin. ( C ) PanIN marker claudin 18 (brown) immunohistochemistry. ( D ) Sox9 (red) and GFP (green) immunostaining. Sox9+ ADM structures did not derive from Hnf1b-targeted GFP+ cells. ( E ) Quantification of the relative surface of acini, adipocytes, fibrosis/infiltrates, ADM, and PanINs in mutants (n = 6). Scale bars : 100 mum. Control, n >= 3; mutant, n >= 3 for histology and immunohistochemistry. DAPI, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.

Product Specific Information

This antibody is predicted to react with chimpanzee, equine, rat and Rhesus monkey based on sequence homology.

Intact IgG appears on a non-reducing gel as ~150 kDa band and upon reduction generating a ~25 kDa light chain band and a ~50 kDa heavy chain.The immunogenic sequence for this antibody is GFKASTGFGSNTKNH, and the antibody is predicted to react with chimpanzee, equine, rat, and Rhesus monkey based on sequence identity and similarity.

Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire.

Target Information

Claudin-18 is a tight junction protein expressed as lung-and stomach-specific isoforms which are generated by alternative splicing of the claudin-18 gene. The lung-specific form is a downstream target gene regulated by the T/EBP/NKX2.1 transcription factor. A splice variant lacking the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain also exists in mouse, but has not been confirmed in human. Human claudin-18 demonstrates 88% amino acid sequence identity to the mouse protein. Immunohistochemical studies have demonstrated complete membrane localization of claudin-18 in lung and stomach epithelial cells, while electron microscopy has shown that it is concentrated in the cell-cell borders of these cells. These features suggest a potentially important role for claudin-18 in the structure and function of tight junctions in the lung and stomach. Claudin-18 expression has also been reported in the inner ear.
