Functional Studies - Triptolide from Tripterygium wilfordii, Anti-inflammatory agent (ab120720)
ab22758 staining nucleolin in HeLa cells treated with Triptolide from Tripterygium wilfordii (ab120720), by ICC/IF. Changes in nuclear localization of nucleolin correlates with increased concentration of Triptolide from Tripterygium wilfordii, as described in literature.
The cells were incubated at 37°C for 24h in media containing different concentrations of ab120720 (Triptolide from Tripterygium wilfordii ) in DMSO, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature. Staining of the treated cells with ab22758 (1 µg/ml) was performed overnight at 4°C in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.1% tween. A DyLight 488 goat anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody (ab96899) at 1/250 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.
