  Western blot - Cyclin A antibody [E23.1] (ab38)

Predicted band size : 60 kDa


Western Blot of Swiss 3T3 cells showing presence of cyclin A in rapidly dividing cells (1) but absent in quiesent cells (2). Recombinant cyclin A (3). Molecular weight markers 114, 98, 68, 57, 43 and 32 kD.

  Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Cyclin A antibody [E23.1] (ab38)

ICC/IF image of ab38 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab38, 5µg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Image-iT^TM FX Signal Enhancer was used as the primary blocking agent, 5% BSA (in TBS-T) was used for all other blocking steps. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red).

  Immunoprecipitation - Cyclin A antibody [E23.1] (ab38)

Immunoprecipitation using ab38 at 4µg/mg whole cell lysate diluted in RIPA buffer and incubated with Protein G matrix at 4°C for 12 hours.

This antibody can immunoprecipitate Cyclin A from both Human (293T) and Rat (PC12) cell extract. The species assigned as Cyclin A runs at  ~55 kDa.

Secondary
HRP conjugated goat anti-mouse at 1/5000 dilution

Performed under reducing conditions.

Predicted band size : 60 kDa
Observed band size : 58 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
Additional bands at : 64 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.

Exposure time : 6 minutes

The membrane was blocked with 5% milk for 1 hour at 21°C prior to incubation with the primary antibody for 12 hours at 4°C.
