Yes DO YOU OBTAIN THE SAME RESULTS EVERY TIME? Yes WHAT STEPS HAVE YOU ALTERED? none ADDITIONAL NOTES This lot is an replacement. (Enquiry detail for enquiry ID: 358940). Our customer repeated the ELISA assay three times but the signal remains to be very weak.(Raw data is available) Our customer has generated EGFR antibody which works well in ELISA and WB and needed a commercial antibody (ab30)to serve as a positive control. But it seems like the titer of ab30 is extremely low. Our customer would like to try ab231 if a replacement can be processed again for this case.

ANSWER: |
I'm sorry to hear you are still having problems with the replacement of ab30, this must be very fustrating. I understand that my colleague Danielle has raised the possibility that "this antibody does not recognise recombinant EGFR. The epitope has been mapped to between aa 6-273 of human EGFR and this stretch of AAs is included in the recombinant protein used in this research. The epitope maps to the external EGF-binding domain of the EGFR transmembrane glycoprotein and perhaps this region of the recominant protein is not in the correct configuration for the antibody to bind" (e-mail from 28th Sept 2004). I would like to suggest trying an overnight incubation with the primary antibody (at 4C) to enable better binding and if this is still unsuccessful we can arrange for a credit note or replacement with ab231 (please note this antibody had not been tested for ELISA) . Please let me know if this helps and do not hesitate to contact us for further advice, |

ANSWER: |
The protocol that your customer is using looks fine so I would be happy to send you a replacement vial just in case there is a problem with the original vial that they received. However, it is possible that this antibody does not recognise recombinant EGFR. The epitope has been mapped to between aa 6-273 of human EGFR and this stretch of AAs is included in the recombinant protein used in this research. The epitope maps to the external EGF-binding domain of the EGFR transmembrane glycoprotein and perhaps this region of the recominant protein is not in the correct configuration for the antibody to bind. Please let me know if you would like me to include another vial on your next order. |

ICC/IF image of ab30 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab30, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4ºC. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
Overlay histogram showing HEK293 cells stained with ab30 (red line). The cells were incubated with the antibody (ab30, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 4ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (
Please note that 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) or methanol (5 min) fixation prior to antibody staining significantly decreased signal.
