Profilin-1, a member of the Profilin family, is a ubiquitously expressed protein that controls actin polymerization in a concentration-dependent manner. As mutations in the Profilin-1 gene have potential implications in neurodegenerative disease progression, well-characterized anti-Profilin-1 antibodies would be beneficial to the scientific community. In this study, we characterized sixteen Profilin-1 commercial antibodies for Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence applications, using a standardized experimental protocol based on comparing read-outs in knockout cell lines and isogenic parental controls. We identified many high-performing antibodies and encourage readers to use this report as a guide to select the most appropriate antibody for their specific needs.

Aptamers are nucleic acid (Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and single strand deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA)) with a length of approximately 25-80 bases that can bind to particular target molecules, similar to monoclonal antibodies. Due to their many benefits, which include a long shelf life, minimal batch-to-batch variations, extremely low immunogenicity, the possibility of chemical modifications for improved stability, an extended serum half-life, and targeted delivery, they are receiving a lot of attention in a variety of clinical applications. The development of high-affinity modification approaches has attracted significant attention in aptamer applications.

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC-gamma-2) is an enzyme that regulates the function of immune cells. PLC-gamma-2 has been implicated in neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, yet investigation of this protein has been limited by a lack of independently characterized antibodies. Here we have characterized eleven PLC-gamma-2 commercial antibodies for use in Western Blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence using a standardized experimental protocol based on comparing read-outs in knockout cell lines and isogenic parental controls.

The amyloid-beta precursor protein is a transmembrane protein expressed in many tissues and highly concentrated in the brain. The protein is of significant interest due to its involvement in the generation of amyloidogenic β-amyloid peptides, prone to plaque formation that is characteristic of Alzheimer's Disease. The scientific community would benefit from the availability of high-quality anti-amyloid-beta precursor protein antibodies to enhance reproducible research on this target.

Secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP-1) is a secreted protein, belonging to the secreted glycoprotein SFRP family. As a modulator of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, sFRP-1 has implications in human cancers and neurological diseases. If the community had access to well-characterized anti-sFRP-1 antibodies, the reproducibility of sFRP-1 research would be enhanced.
