Function

Participates in DNA replication and repair. Exhibits a magnesium-dependent ATP-dependent DNA-helicase activity that unwinds single- and double-stranded DNA in a 3'-5' direction.
Involvement in disease

Defects in BLM are the cause of Bloom syndrome (BLM) [MIM:210900]. BLM is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by proportionate pre- and postnatal growth deficiency, sun-sensitive telangiectatic hypo- and hyperpigmented skin, predisposition to malignancy, and chromosomal instability.
Sequence similarities

Belongs to the helicase family. RecQ subfamily.
Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.
Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.
Contains 1 HRDC domain.
Post-translational
modifications

Phosphorylated in response to DNA damage. Phosphorylation requires the FANCA-FANCC-FANCE-FANCF-FANCG protein complex, as well as the presence of RMI1.
Cellular localization

Nucleus.

Immunocytochemistry - Anti-Blooms Syndrome Protein Blm antibody (ab2179)This image was submitted as part of a review by Kirk McManus, University of British Columbia

HeLa cells cultured on coverslips were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde then stained with ab2179 (green) at a concentration of 5µg/ml. The DNA stained with DAPI is shown in red (100x magnification).

Immunocytochemistry - Anti-Blooms Syndrome Protein Blm antibody (ab2179)This image was submitted as part of a review by Kirk McManus, University of British Columbia

HeLa cells were treated with 15µM Bleomycin for 2 hours to generate DNA double stranded breaks (DSBs). Paraformaldehyde-fixed cells were co-immunofluorescently labelled with anti-gamma H2AX (DNA DSB marker) and anti-BLM (ab2179). ab 2179 was used at a concentration of 5µg/ml. Colocalization at the sites of DNA DSBs is identified by the arrows. In the final panel DAPI is pseudo-coloured blue, while anti-gamma H2AX and anti-Blm are green and red respectively.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM Non-specific staining
SAMPLE Immortalized Human Bloom Syndrome cell line (6040 hTERT)
PRIMARY ANTIBODY ab2179 dilutions, 1:100, 1:200, and 1:400 incubated 1hr, wash: 3X 5 min in 0.2% tween-20 in pbs
DETECTION METHOD Fluorescent microscope
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CONTROLS USED Positive Control: BJ hTERT (WT) Negative Control: 6040 hTERT (BS line)
ANTIBODY STORAGE CONDITIONS 4C
FIXATION OF SAMPLE 4% Paraformaldehyde
PERMEABILIZATION STEP 1min in .2% Tween-20 in PBS
BLOCKING CONDITIONS Blocking Buffer: 1% BSA, 0.2% tween-20, 0.02% azide in PBS 30 min at 37C
SECONDARY ANTIBODY Invitrogen: Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG 1:400 dilution, 1hr at 37C wash: 3X 5 min in 0.2% tween-20 in pbs
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU TRIED THE APPLICATION? 1
HAVE YOU RUN A NO PRIMARY CONTROL? Yes
DO YOU OBTAIN THE SAME RESULTS EVERY TIME? Yes
ADDITIONAL NOTES I've attached a picture of the IF I obtained on my BS cell line (negative control) Blue: dapi, Green: Blm ab2179. I've looked through the literature and haven't been able to find anyone using any of the BLM antibodies against a BS cell line. Has this or any of the BLM antibodies been tested on Bloom Syndrome cell lines?

Answer

Thank you for contacting Abcam regarding ab2179.

I am sorry that you have been experiencing difficulties with this antibody in ICC. I have reviewed the protocol information you provided and would like to make some suggestions to improve your results with this antibody.

Regarding your question about your cells, at this time we have not tested nor received feedback from anyone who has used this antibody in a Bloom Syndrome cell line. As a positive control, I would recommend testing HeLa cells treated with 15uM Bleomycin for 2 hours as this produces a positive result with the antibody.

In terms of protocol modifications, I would recommend the following:

Since this is a nuclear protein, I would recommend triton X-100 to permeabilize - try 0.1% in PBS for 10 min. If you continue to use Tween-20 I would increase this to at least 10 min. Alternatively I would recommend fixation with acetone, which will both fix and permeabilize the cells.

The blocking step seems sufficient, but I would increase the incubation with the primary antibody to at least 2 hours, although ideally overnight at 4oC.

I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions or if these suggestions do not improve your results with this antibody. The antibody is guaranteed under our Abpromise for WB and I would be happy to offer a replacement or credit if we determine the antibody is not working properly.
