General notes
Ab178787 is a PBS Obly version of ab8224.
This clone works well as a loading control for Xenopus, Drosophila, S. cerevisiae and S.pombe. We recommend using ab8224 instead of ab8226 for these species.
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing this with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation. Please check that this product meets your needs before purchasing.

Applications
The Abpromise guarantee
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab178787 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Application | Abreviews | Notes |
---|---|---|
ICC/IF |
Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml.
|
|
Flow Cyt |
Use 1µg for 106 cells.
|
|
IHC-P |
1/1000. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
|
|
WB |
Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 42 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 42 kDa).Can be blocked with Human beta Actin peptide (ab13772). This antibody has been designed for use as a loading control and is ideal for this purpose. Block membrane for 1 hr in 5%BSA. Incubate antibody in TBST for one hour or more.

Function
Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in ACTB are a cause of dystonia juvenile-onset (DYTJ) [MIM:607371]. DYTJ is a form of dystonia with juvenile onset. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures. DYTJ patients manifest progressive, generalized, dopa-unresponsive dystonia, developmental malformations and sensory hearing loss. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the actin family. -
Post-translational
modificationsISGylated. -
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs. - Information by UniProt

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-beta Actin antibody [mAbcam 8224] - BSA and Azide free (ab178787)
IHC image of ab8224 staining beta Actin in human colon formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections*, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab8224, 1μg/ml working concentration, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. No primary antibody was used in the secondary only control (shown on the inset).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
*Tissue obtained from the Human Research Tissue Bank, supported by the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research CentreThis data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-arginine and sodium azide (ab8224).

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab8224 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab8224, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was a goat anti-mouse DyLight® 488 (IgG; H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was Mouse IgG3 [MG3-35] (ab18394, 1µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-arginine and sodium azide (ab8224).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-beta Actin antibody [mAbcam 8224] - BSA and Azide free (ab178787)
IHC image of beta actin staining in human colon formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section*. The section was pre-treated using pressure cooker heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) for 30mins. The section was incubated with ab8224, 3µg/ml overnight at +4°C. A goat anti-mouse HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (ab6789, 1/2000 dilution) was used for 1hr at room temperature. The section was counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
The inset negative control image is secondary-only at 1/500 dilution.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-arginine and sodium azide (ab8224).
