Recombinant Anti-Bim antibody [Y36] (ab32158)

Lane 1: Wild type HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 2: Bim knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 3: Raji whole cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 4: Jurkat whole cell lysate (20 µg)

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab32158 observed at 25 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

ab32158 was shown to specifically react with Bim when Bim knockout samples were used. Wild-type and Bim knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab32158 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/500 dilution and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

The cells were fixed 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 (ab32158, 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 IgG1 isotype control antibody  (ab172730) was used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody (HAP1 wildtype - black line, HAP1-BCL2L11  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.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of Raji (Human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line) labeling Bim with ab32158 at a dilution of 1/250. Cells were fixed with 100% methanol. Ab150077 (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were co-stained with ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin antibody (1/200) using ab150120 as the secondary. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Secondary antibody only control, cells without incubation with the primary antibody was used as negative control.

Antigen retrieval was by heat mediated antigen retrieval using Tris/EDTA Buffer, PH9 (ab93684). Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in blocking buffer) and a Biotin-conjugated Donkey anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. Cytoplasmic staining can be seen in the human breast cancer cells. Hematoxylin was used as a counter stain.

Flow Cytometry analysis of Raji (human Burkitt's lymphoma) whole cell lysate labeling Bim with ab32158 at 1/100 (red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. An Alexa Fluor^® 488)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/2000) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730). Blue - Unlabelled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies.

Lane 1 (input): Raji whole cell lysate (10µg)

Lane 2 (+): ab32158 + Raji whole cell lysate.

Lane 3 (-): Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab32158 in Raji whole cell lysate.

For western blotting, ab32158 (1/1000) was used as the primary antibody and ab131366 VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) was used for detection (1/10 000).

Blocking buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM /TBST.

Observed band size : 22, 18 kDa

Exposure time : Lane 1- 5: 3 minutes; Lane 6: 2 seconds

The observed molecular weight is consistent with the literature (PMID: 24872388)

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of A20 (Mouse reticulum sarcoma cell line) labeling Bim with ab32158 at a dilution of 1/250. Cells were fixed with 100% methanol. Ab150077 (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were co-stained with ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin antibody (1/200) using ab150120 as the secondary. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). 

Secondary antibody only control, cells without incubation with the primary antibody was used as negative control.
