Application notes
(see key)
|
Recommended dilutions ICC/IF: 1/200. IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 5 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. WB: Use at a concentration of 2 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 87 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 97 kDa).
Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance
|
Ago2 is essential for RNA interference (RNAi), where double-stranded RNA induces potent and specific gene silencing. RNAi is mediated by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific, multicomponent nuclease that destroys messenger RNAs homologous to the silencing trigger.

Secondary IRDye 680 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) at 1/10000 dilution
Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size : 97 kDa Observed band size : 87 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?) Additional bands at : 55 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.
The identification of the 55 kDa band is unclear but this band has also been observed in Hela lysates in the following publication; http://www.ibiosci.or.kr/home/data/2004/0080213.pdf and in the Western Blot of ab5072, targeting Drosophila Ago2 / eIF2C2.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Ago2 / eIF2C2 antibody (ab32381)
IHC image of Ago2/eIF2C2 staining in human breast cancer FFPE section, performed on a BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab32381, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins 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.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Ago2 / eIF2C2 antibody (ab32381)
ab32381 (1/200) staining Ago2/ eIF2C2 in assynchrnous HeLa cells (green). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilised with 0.5% TritonX100/ PBS and counterstained with DAPI in order to highlight the nucleus (red).
