Product overview
Golgi/ER Staining Kit | Cytopainter (ab139485) provides a rapid and convenient method for visualizing the Golgi and ER within living cells, without requiring lengthy transfection procedures. ab139485 is validated with human cervical carcinoma cell line HeLa, human T-lymphocyte cell line Jurkat, canine kidney cell line MDCK, and human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cell line U2OS. The kit should also be suitable for identifying Golgi body and endoplasmic reticulum perturbing agents and thus can be a useful tool for examining the transport and recycling of molecules from the GA to ER in cellular secretory pathways.
Organelle Reagent III contains a mixture of GA-selective, ER-selective and nucleus-selective dyes suitable for live cell staining. Compared with other commercially available dyes for labeling Golgi bodies, the green dye component of the Reagent III is more faithfully localized to the Golgi apparatus, with minimal staining of the endoplasmic reticulum. The red dye component of the Reagent III stains the endoplasmic reticulum with high fidelity and is specifically designed for use with green fluorescing probes.

CytoPainter Golgi/ER Staining Kit (ab139485) staining live rat astrocyte cells. Cells were seeded on a Ibidi u-slide 18 well flat poly-L-Lysine coated. Cells were washed with 1XAssay Solution, incubated for 30 min at 37º with the Organelle Reagent III, washed 3 times with ice cold medium (DMEM F-12) and incubated again in medium for 30 minutes at 37º.
