Anti-CXCR4 antibody [EPUMBR3] (ab181020)

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of Ramos (Human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line) labeling CXCR4 with purified ab181020 at 1/500 dilution. Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. ab150077 Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) at 1/1000 was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. PBS was used instead of the primary antibody as the negative control.

ab181020 stained Jurkat cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed for 5 minutes at -20°C and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1hour at room temperature to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab181020 at 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (pseudo-colored green) was Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150081) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1hour at room temperature. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (pseudo-colored red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM for 1hour at room temperature.

Running buffer: MOPS.

Conditions: denatured/reduced.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-Tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour before being incubated with ab181020 (anti-CXCR4) and ab7671 (loading ctrl), overnight at 4°C. Before imaging, antibody binding was detected using labelled goat anti-rabbit (H+L; green) and labelled goat anti-mouse (H+L; red) at 1:10,000 dilutions for 1hr at room temperature.
