Abstract: Experimental results for Anti-Glypican 6 (GPC6) [IPI-GPC6.6] (Addgene #241001) in an immunofluorescence (IF) endogenous assay with human glioblastoma (U-188 MG) and neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell lines.

Immunofluorescence (IF) of U-118 MG cells (top row) and SH-SY-5Y cells (bottom row) labeled for GPC6 using Anti-Glypican 6 (GPC6) [IPI-GPC6.6] (Addgene #241001) and for actin with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated phalloidin. Confocal images taken at 40X magnification on an ImageXpress HT confocal.ai microscope. Left images show all 3 channels (IPI-GPC6.6, actin, and DAPI) while the right images only show IPI-GPC6.6 and DAPI. U-188 MG cells are predicted to have high GPC6 expression, whereas SH-SY5Y cells are predicted to have low GPC6 expression, based on publicly available data (DepMap.org). For both panels, IPI-GPC6.6 was used at 5 μg/mL (1:200 dilution). — Caption: Immunofluorescence (IF) of U-118 MG cells (top row) and SH-SY-5Y cells (bottom row) labeled for GPC6 using Anti-Glypican 6 (GPC6) [IPI-GPC6.6] (Addgene #241001) and for actin with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated phalloidin.
