Anti-eIF4EBP1 antibody [Y329] (ab32024)

Overlay histogram showing HAP1 wildtype (green line) and HAP1-EIF4EBP1   knockout cells (red line) stained with ab32024. The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)  and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab32024, 0.1µg/ml) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) presorbed (ab150081) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C.

A rabbit IgG isotype control antibody  (ab172730) was used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody (HAP1 wildtype - black line, HAP1-EIF4EBP1  knockout - grey line). Unlabelled sample was also used as a control (this line is not shown for the purpose of simplicity).

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 530/30 bandpass filter.

This antibody can also be used in HAP1 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) , permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min under the same conditions.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) labeling eIF4EBP1 with Purified ab32024 at 1/500 dilution (5 µg/ml). Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. ab150077 Goat anti rabbit IgG(Alexa Fluor^® 488) at 1/1000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. PBS was used instead of the primary antibody as the negative control.

Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 2: elF4EBP1 knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 3: HEK293 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 4: K562 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab32024 observed at 20 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

ab32024 was shown to specifically react with elF4EBP1 when elF4EBP1 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and elF4EBP1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab32024 and ab8245 (loading control to GADPH) were diluted 1/5000 and 1/2000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.
