ich hatte ja den SREBP-2 Ak ab72856 mit meinen Meerschweinchenproben |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
Ich möchte vorschlagen, dass Sie die Kreuzreaktion zu vermerken, damit anderen Kunden wissen, dass mit Merschweinchenproben mit Problemen zu rechnen ist. |

Good morning, I would like to ask you what isorforms do the antibody against SREBP1 (ab3259) recognizes: the SREBP1a or SREBP1c or both? |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
Thank you for contacting us. Our anti-SREBP1 antibody clone [2A4] ab3259 recognizes both SREBP1a and SREBP1c. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information. |

I reuse the aliquots, but we stored them a 4ºC and we add sodium azide (0.05%) as a preservative. I already tested this procedure with other abcam antibodies and I never had any problems with that. |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
Thank you for your reply. I would recommend testing a fresh aliquot and dilution. I agree that most antibodies can be reused several times and are okay to store at 4C with sodium azide. This may be a case in which these antibodies can only be used about two times before significantly losing activity. If you are not able to obtain a strong signal even with a freshly diluted antibody, please let me know and I am happy to replace the antibodies for you. I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions. |

Good afternoon, I have been preformed some western blots with antibodies against SREBP1 (ab3259) and SREBP2 (ab30682) that we bought from your company in rat liver samples. They work very nice during the first 2 incubations (made last week) but now they stop working...I already add more antibody (reduced the dilution) but the signal, if detected, is very light (and the samples are the sample since I am trying to have replications). Can you help me solving this problem? (I followed the conditioning the abcam suggest in the data sheet..). Additionally, when I tested the antibodies I found 3 bands for both SREBPs antibodies: one at ~125kDa (precursor); one at 70 and finally one at 60 kDa (cleaved/activated forms?). Should I considered both 60 and 70 kDa bands the cleaved/activated form or they result of other type of post-translational transformation ? |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
Thank you for contacting Abcam regarding ab3259 and ab30682. I want to clarify your initial question regarding your usage of these antibodies. When you say that they worked well for the first 2 incubations - are you reusing the diluted primary antibody? If so, how are you storing them between uses? Have you added a preservative to the solution? I am concerned that if the antibody is stored at 4C for an extended period of time bacterial growth can lead to decreased performance. Regarding the banding pattern, it appears that these antibodies will detect 3 bands at the molecular weights you are observing. The 126kDa and 60kDa bands represent the precursor and cleaved forms and we are not sure of the identity of the third band. I hope this information is helpful. I look forward to your reply so that I may assist you further. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions. |

ICC/IF image of ab3259 stained HeLa 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 (ab3259, 5µg/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.

Predicted band size : 127 kDa
Observed band size : 127 kDa
Additional bands at : 36 kDa,65 kDa (possible cleavage fragment). We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.
Exposure time : 12 minutes
The band observed at 65 kDa is believed to be the cleaved mature form of SREBP1.
