Recombinant Anti-CDKN2A/p16INK4a antibody [EPR1473] - C-terminal (ab108349)

5% NFDM/TBST was used as a blocking and diluting buffer. 

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human normal breast, luminal-A DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) and triple negative breast cancer tissues stained for CDKN2A/p16INK4a using ab108349 in immunohistochemical analysis.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human cervix carcinoma tissue labeling CDKN2A/p16INK4a with purified ab108349 at 1/100. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, an HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500).

Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Overlay histogram showing HEK-293 (Human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney) cells stained with unpurified ab108349 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 minutes) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 minutes. 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 (ab108349, 1/100) for 30 minutes at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 minutes at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in HEK-293 cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 minutes)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 minutes used under the same conditions. 

Blocking/Dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Blocking/Dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human cervical carcinoma tissue labeling CDKN2A/p16INK4a with unpurified ab108349 at a dilution of 1/250.

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

ab108349 (purified) at 1/30 immunoprecipitating CDKN2A/p16INK4a in HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cell lysate. For western blotting, a peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/1000).

Blocking/Dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HEK-293 (Human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney) cells labeling CDKN2A/p16INK4a with purified ab108349 at 1/270 (red). Cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. A FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/150) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG. Blue - Unlabeled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies. 

Tissue Microarrays stained for "Anti-CDKN2A/p16INK4a antibody [EPR1473] - C-terminal” using "ab108349" in immunohistochemical analysis. This table provides a detailed overview of positive (tick mark) and negative (cross mark) staining per sample type tested. The sections were pre-treated using Heat mediated antigen retrieval using Bond™ Epitope Retrieval Solution 2 (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The sections were incubated with ab108349 for 30 mins at room temperature followed by a ready to use Rabbit specific IHC polymer detection kit HRP/DAB (ab209101). The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND^® RX instrument.
