• 
  Western blot analysis of Cathepsin A 32k expression in HEK293T (A), Hela (B), U2OS (C), mouse kidney (D), mouse liver (E), rat kidney (F), rat liver (G) whole cell lysates.
• 
  Immunohistochemical analysis of Cathepsin A 32k staining in human liver cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
• 
  Immunofluorescent analysis of Cathepsin A 32k staining in PANC1 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. Phalloidin - AF594 was used to stain the cytoplasm (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).
