Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Clarity is a sample preparation method for clearing, immunolabeling and volume imaging of large biological samples. Clearing is carried out by SDS and Focusclear treatment. For additional experimental details, please refer to the Remarks section.

Background

Calbindin D28k (CALB1, D28K or CAB27) and Calretinin (Calbindin D29k) are members of the EF-hand calcium-binding protein family, playing essential roles in intracellular calcium homeostasis, neuroprotection, and signal transduction (1). Calbindin D28k is widely expressed in tissues that experience high calcium influx, such as the brain, sensory organs, endocrine tissues, and the enteric nervous system (ENS). In the central nervous system (CNS), Calbindin D28k is an important marker for specific neuronal populations, particularly in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum and GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons of the cortex (2). Outside the CNS, Calbindin D28k plays crucial roles in non-neuronal tissues. In the retina, it contributes to photoreceptor function and calcium signaling (3). In the pancreas, it is present in α- and β-cells (4). Additionally, it was reported that 31% of myenteric neurons and up to 95% of submucosal neurons in the human ENS express calbindin, suggesting its involvement in both motor and secretory functions (5).
