PROTEOSTAT® Aggresome detection kit

The PROTEOSTAT ® Aggresome Detection Kit is a member of the CELLESTIAL ® product line, reagents and assay kits comprising fluorescent molecular probes that have been extensively benchmarked for live cell analysis applications. CELLESTIAL ® reagents and kits are optimal for use in demanding imaging applications, such as confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and HCS, where consistency and reproducibility are required. Featured In: High-throughput image-based aggresome quantification (SLAS Discov 2020; 25:783-791) . Application : Optimized to monitor aggresome formation in a miniaturized, automated, and quantitative phenotypic assay. The approach is validated by screening a chemical library of 1280 compounds. Application Note: A Red-emitting Fluorescent Probe for Rapid Detection of Protein and Peptide Aggregates in Post-mortem Human Brain Tissue Sections from Patients Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease Monitoring the Accumulation and Clearance of Exogenously Introduced Beta-amyloid in a Cell-Based Model of Alzheimer’s Disease by Fluorescence Microscopy and Fluorescence Microplate Assay Towards Understanding the Molecular Basis of Parkinson’s Disease: Cell-based Model of Mitophagy and Aggresome Accumulation Detection of bacterial aggregation by flow cytometry Cell-Based Screening of Focused Bioactive Compound Libraries: Assessing Small Molecule Modulators of the Canonical Wnt Signaling and Autophagy-Lysosome Pathways Monitoring Whole Brain Plaque Burden with PROTEOSTAT® Aggresome Detection Kit and Light Sheet Microscopy Cited samples: For an overview on cited samples please click here.

The PROTEOSTAT ® Aggresome detection kit assay is potentially applicable to the identification of small molecules that inhibit aggresome formation as well as immuno-localization studies between aggregated protein cargo and the various proteins implicated in aggresome formation, such as histone deacetylase 6, parkin, ataxin-3, dynein motor complex and ubiquilin-1.

A sample from each lot of PROTEOSTAT ® Aggresome detection kit is used to stain Jurkat cells and analyzed by flow cytometry, using the procedures described in the user manual. The aggresome activity factor (AAF) values for the samples are greater than 25.
