I would like to request information on one of your antibodies, Anti-CLLD8/SETDB2 antibody (ab5517). I was wondering if this antibody works for mouse SETDB2 |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
Thank you for your inquiry. I BLASTed the immunogen sequence of ab5517 against mouse and it only has 55% homology. We generally say that anything with a greater than 85% homology would be expected to cross-react, so this is quite low. This antibody probably wouldn't work with mouse samples. However, we do have a goat polyclonal anti-CLLD8/SETDB2 antibody that is predicted to cross-react with mouse, ab13712. This immunogen is 100% homologous with mouse. However, since we have not tested ab13712 in mouse, we would not be able to guarantee that it would work. http://www.abcam.com/CLLD8-SETDB2-antibody-ab13712.html But, I can offer a discount off a future purchase if you buy ab13712 now, test it in mouse and submit feedback to us in the form of an Abreview. It doesn’t matter whether the Abreview is positive or negative, we would just really like to receive your feedback. The discount would be to the value of 1 free primary antibody. If you are interested in this offer, please follow these steps: 1. Reply to this e-mail to let me know that you would like to proceed and test ab13712 in mouse. I will then send a discount code. This code must be issued before purchasing ab13712 so please wait for my reply before ordering. 2. Purchase ab13712 either by phone, fax, or online (www.abcam.com). 3. Test it in mouse. 4. Let us know the results, positive or negative, using our Abreview system (this will take about 10 minutes and images are great if you have them!). To find out how to submit an Abreview, please visit: http://www.abcam.com/abreviews. 5. After the review is submitted to us, the discount code becomes active. Simply place your new order by phone, fax, or on the web and mention the discount code. The discount can be redeemed for any primary antibody ordered and the discount code is valid for 4 months after issue. We are always pleased to obtain feedback about our products and any information is greatly appreciated! Even if ab13712 turns out to be unsuitable for mouse, you will still receive the discount on your next purchase after your Abreview has been submitted. Please let me know if you have any questions about this offer and I would be happy to help you further. The Terms and Conditions of this offer can be found at: www.abcam.com/collaborationdiscount. |

ANSWER: |
I'm very sorry to hear you are having problems with ab5517 and ab13712. You do not mention adding loading buffer to your samples prior to boiling, please make sure you add loading buffer containing SDS, DTT, beta-mercaptoethanol and bromphenol blue. Please also make sure you keep samples on ice until boiling and that protease inhibitors are added freshly. You do not mention how long you block the membrane for (and what temperature), I recommend trying 5%BSA in TBST for 1 hr, then rinsing a few seconds in TBST and incubating both primary and secondary antibodies in TBST. The dilution recommended for ab5517 is 1:5000 and for ab13712 is ug/ml but you may need to dilute more, I hope these suggestions help, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance,

Left: Endogenous CLLD8
Detection using indirect fluorescence of the signal corresponding to endogenous CLLD8 in 293T cells. Cells fixed using 4% formaldehyde, blocked with PBS containing 3% milk and 0.5% Triton X-100, incubated for 1 hour at 37 ºC using a 1/50 dilution of antibody ab5517. Cells were then washed 3 times and incubated for 1 hour at 37 ºC with a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1/500 dilution) coupled to Alexa Fluor 555 (Molecular Probes). Following 3 more washes, cells were stained with DAPI and mounted with Vectashield.

Right: Overexpressed CLLD8
Detection using indirect fluorescence of the signal corresponding to staining with anti-FLAG mouse antibody (top) and an antibody (ab5517) against CLLD8 (middle) in 293T cells. 293T cells were transfected with vectors for overexpression of flagged CLLD8 using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection procedure (Invitrogen). Cells were fixed 48 hours post-transfection. Mouse anti-FLAG antibody was detected with a donkey anti-mouse antibody coupled with Alexa Fluor 555 (Molecular Probes) at a 1:500 dilution. ab5517 was detected using a donkey anti-rabbit antibody coupled with Alexa Fluor 488 at a 1/500 dilution.

Detection using indirect fluorescence of the signal corresponding to endogenous CLLD8 in 293T cells. Using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), cells were transfected with either a control shRNA directed against luciferase (left, SiRluc) or a specific siRNA directed against CLLD8 (right). 48 hours post-transfection, cells were fixed, blocked, and incubated with a 1:50 dilution of ab5517 at 37 ºC for 1 hour. Cells were then washed 3 times and incubated at 37 ºC for 1 hour with a 1/500 dilution of goat anti-rabbit antibody coupled with Alexa Fluor 555 (Molecular Probes). Following 3 further washes cells were stained with DAPI and mounted with Vectashield.
Antibody signals were extinguished when a specific RNAi was used. The few cells which retained a signal were presumably not transfected.

Additional bands at : 22 kDa (possible non-specific binding),90 kDa (possible non-specific binding).
ab5517 recognises a band corresponding to FLAG-tagged CLLD8/SETB2 at approximately 110 kDa in Sf21 cells infected by baculovirus expressing CLLD8/SETDB2 (lanes1-2). This is larger than the predicated band size (81 kDa) due to the addition of the FLAG tag.
ab5517 does not detect a band in uninfected sf21 cells (lanes3-4) or following blocking studies using the immunizing peptide (lanes5-6).
There appears to be a ladder of proteins recognised by ab5517 (lanes1-2), which could be attributed to degradation products.

ab5517 staining CLLD8 in human colon tissue and showing a distinct and strong staining of the nucleus of the glandular cells. Paraffin embedded human colon was incubated with ab5517 (1/50) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Antigen retrieval was performed by heat induction in citrate buffer pH6.
ab5517 was tested in a tissue microarray (TMA) containing a wide range of normal and cancer tissues as well as a cell microarray consisting of a range of commonly used, well characterised human cell lines. Further results for this antibody can be found at www.proteinatlas.org
