SEE ALSO...

c-Fos Antibody (E-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody raised against amino acids 128-152 of human c-Fos, a nuclear transcription factor essential for gene regulation. Anti-c-Fos antibody (E-8) recognizes an epitope within this region and demonstrates remarkably broad species cross-reactivity, detecting c-Fos, FosB, Fra-1, and Fra-2 in mouse, rat, human, zebrafish, equine, canine, bovine, porcine, and avian samples through Western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applications. While c-Fos primarily operates in the nucleus as a component of the AP-1 complex to regulate genes controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival, c-Fos′s distribution patterns show interesting complexity. For instance, in pancreatic cancer cells, c-Fos appears in both nuclear and cytoplasmic locations, suggesting broader regulatory roles than previously understood. This dynamic localization becomes particularly significant when c-Fos regulation goes awry - overexpression or dysregulation of c-Fos can contribute to cancer development, while c-Fos also plays crucial roles in mediating apoptosis and cellular stress responses. Through these diverse cellular functions and broad species applications, c-Fos (E-8) antibody provides researchers with a valuable tool for investigating transcriptional regulation, stress responses, and cancer biology across multiple model systems.

What dilution do you recommend starting with for flow cytometry using the fluorophore-conjugated version of this antibody? Are there any publications using this antibody for flow cytometry?

Asked by: dr9004
Thank you for your question. We do not have any publications but we do warranty the antibody for flow cytometry. We recommend using 1 µg normal immunoglobulins per 1 million cells. Here is our protocol: https://www.scbt.com/resources/protocols/flow-cytometry

I have a question about Anti-Fos/c-Fos Antibody (E-8) X (catalog: sc-166940 X) for western blot analysis. I would like to know if it is possible to use both HRP and fluorescent dye conjugated secondary antibodies for detecting the sc-166940 X antibody.

Asked by: Parisa
Thank you for your question. This primary antibody can be detected by either fluorescence-, or by an HRP-based secondary detection. Our secondary binding proteins m-IgG1 BP-HRP: sc-525408 and m-IgG1 BP-CFL 488: sc-533661 have been optimised for detecting primary mouse IgG1 antibodies including this one.

Hello, The c-Fos Antibody (K-25): sc-253 was discontinued and replaced by c-Fos Antibody (E-8): sc-166940? In what way are they the same? sc-253 has been shown to work for fish c-fos detection, so will sc-166940 work in the same way? Cheers!

Asked by: Yatz2020
Thank you for your question. c-Fos Antibody (E-8): sc-166940 is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that was raised against the same peptide antigen that was used to develop the rabbit polyclonal antibody, c-Fos Antibody (K-25): sc-253. The mouse monoclonal antibody has also been published in zebrafish samples, and is recommended to work for zebrafish. For some examples of literature using this mouse monoclonal antibody in zebrafish, please refer on our website to the product citations with PMID's: 30222997, 29626809 and 29061647.

Is the c-Fos Antibody (E-8): sc-166940 tested for flow cytometry or if you could suggest any published references that have used this antibody for flow cytometry? Thanks!!

Asked by: Hema
The conjugated primary antibody is recommended and warrantied for flow cytometry (FCM), however we are still gathering data to show on our website. Check back for updates!

I would like to determine the c-Fos expression in the mouse whole brain cleared with CUBIC or iDISCO. Have you tried to use E-8 for that?

Asked by: Atsu
Thank you for your question. We have not tested this antibody in whole brain tissues, or using either CUBIC or iDISCO.

Good afternoon, We have found that this antibody must be used at a very high concentration in order to have any signal that is beyond the threshold of noise. Is this typical for this antibody or lot specific?

Asked by: Jordan Hopkins
Thank you for your question. We routinely use this antibody at the starting dilution of 1:100 (range 1:100-1:1,000) for Western blotting.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Does not work for ChIP in mouse neuronsI tested this antibody for ChIP in mouse primary neurons after stimulation, and there was no detectable enrichment by qPCR. I had used the same protocol for Egr1 ChIP (a similar inducible transcription factor) and it works nicely. Also, quite some background in WB.
