Western blot of purified anti-Synaptophysin antibody (clone SP17). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 20 µg of human brain lysate; Lane 3: 20 µg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 4: 20 µg of rat brain lysate. The blot was incubated with 1 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP labeled goat anti-mouse IgM. Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system. -
ICC staining of purified anti-Synaptophysin antibody (clone SP17) on U251MG cells. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with a buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and 0.25% BSA, and blocked with 2% normal goat serum and 0.02% BSA. The cells were then incubated with 10 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with 2.5 °g/ml of Alexa Fluor® 647 goat anti-Mouse IgM for one hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI, and the slides was mounted with ProLong™ Gold Antifade Mountant. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm -
IHC staining of purified anti- anti-Synaptophysin antibody (clone SP17) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., the tissue was incubated with 1 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. BioLegend´s Ultra-Streptavidin (USA) HRP kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm -

IHC staining of purified anti-Synaptophysin (clone SP17) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R (Cat. No. 928602), the tissue was incubated with 5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with 2.5 µg/mL of Alexa Fluor® 647 goat anti-mouse IgG for one hour at room temperature. The slide was mounted with Fluoromount-G™, with DAPI. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale Bar: 50 µm

Synaptophysin, also known as major synaptic vesicle protein P38, is encoded by the SYP gene in humans and is located on the short arm of the X chromosome. Synaptophysin is expressed in neuroendocrine cells as well as all neurons in the CNS that participate in synaptic transmission. Synaptophysin is a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein, and interacts with synaptobrevin. It has been implicated in X-linked mental retardation and can be used as a specific marker for cells of the adrenal medulla and pancreatic islets. As such, it can be used to identify tumors that are derived from those cells, including neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, medulloblastoma, and others.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 10 µg per mL. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10 μg/mL is recommended. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10 µg/mL for chromogenic staining and 0.5 - 2.0 µg/mL for fluorescent staining is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
SP17 reacts with native, denatured and recombinant synaptic vesicle protein synaptophysin expressed in CHO cells. The antibody is particularly valuable for immunocytochemical studies of the brain due to its stability in formalin sections.
