Anti-CD146 antibody [EPR3208] (ab75769)

Immunohistochemistry experiments were used to compare symptomatic carotid plaques (SC) and asymptomatic carotid plaques (AsC)

Asymptomatic lesions presented higher CD146⁺ pericyte infiltration, p<0.001. Representative images are on the left with corresponding quantification on the right.

ab75769 used at 1/200 dilution.

(After Figure 2 of Davaine et al)

Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 whole cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 2: CD146 knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 3: A375 whole cell lysate (20 µg)

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab75769 observed at 120-72 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

ab75769 was shown to specifically react with CD146  in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in CD146 knockout cells. Wild-type and CD146 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab75769 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/10000 dilution and 1/20000 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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human spleen tissue labelling CD146 with purified ab75769 at 1/250. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, a goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500). Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Flow Cytometry analysis of A375 (human malignant melanoma) cells labeling CD146 with unpurified ab75769 at 1/20 dilution (10ug/mL) (red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^®488) at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black) was used as the isotype control, cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue) was used as the unlabeled control.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of A375 (human malignant melanoma) cells labelling CD146 with purified ab75769 at 1/250. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. DAPI (blue) was used as the nuclear counterstain. ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin (1/1000) and ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000) were also used.

Control 1: primary antibody (1/100) and secondary antibody, ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/500).

Control 2: ab7291 (1/1000) and secondary antibody, ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/500).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of melanoma tissue labelling CD146 with unpurified ab75769 at 1/250. A HRP/AP polymerized secondary antibody was used.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) analysis of mouse spleen tissue labelling CD146 with unpurified ab75769 at 1/250. Tissue samples were fixed with acetone and blocked with 5% serum for 2 hours at 25°C. The sample was incubated with primary antibody at 4°C for 12 hours. An Alexa Fluor^®488-conjugated Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG (1/250) was used as secondary antibody. Nuclear staining was with DAPI (blue).
