Recombinant Anti-Cdk4 antibody [EPR2513Y] (ab68266)

Lanes 1 - 5: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab68266 observed at 34 kDa. Red - loading control, ab18058, observed at 130 kDa.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab68266 and ab18058 (loading control) overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at a 1:10000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of MCF7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling Cdk4 with Purified ab68266 at 1:100 (5.4 µg/ml). Cells were fixed in 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. Cells were counterstained with None. Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488, ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1:1000 (2 µg/ml) dilution. DAPI nuclear counterstain. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control.

Lane 1 (input): K562 (Human chronic myelogenous leukemia lymphoblast) whole cell lysate 10µg
Lane 2 (+): ab68266 & K562 whole cell lysate
Lane 3 (-): Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab68266 in K562 whole cell lysate
For western blotting, VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366) was used for detection at 1:1000 dilution.
Blocking and diluting buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Unpurified ab68266 staining Cdk4 in wild-type HAP1 cells (top panel) and Cdk4 knockout HAP1 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab68266 at 1/250 dilution and ab195889 at 1/250 dilution (shown in pseudo colour red) overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Lanes 1, 3 and 5: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 2, 4 and 6: CDK4 knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 1 and 2: Green signal from target - ab68266 observed at 34 kDa
Lanes 3 and 4: Red signal from loading control - ab8226 observed at 42 kDa
Lanes 5 and 6: Merged (red and green) signal
Unpurified ab68266 was shown to specifically react with CDK4 when CDK4 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and CDK4 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab68266 and ab8226 (loading control to beta actin) were both diluted at 1/1000 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.
