Recombinant Anti-Cytokeratin 19 antibody [EPR1579Y] (ab76539)

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human lung cancer tissue sections labeling Cytokeratin 19 with Purified ab76539 at 1:1000 dilution (0.12 µg/ml). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0). Tissue was counterstained with Hematoxylin. ImmunoHistoProbe one step HRP Polymer (ready to use) secondary antibody was used at 1:0 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the negative control.

Lane 1 (input): SK-BR-3 (Human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) whole cell lysate 10 µg
Lane 2 (+): ab76539 & SKBR-3 whole cell lysate
Lane 3 (-): Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab76539 in SKBR-3 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.

Immunofluorescence staining of MCF-7 cells with purified ab76539 at a working dilution of 1/500, counter-stained with DAPI. The secondary antibody was an Alexa Fluor^® 488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit (ab150077), used at a dilution of 1/1000. The cells were fixed in 100% methanol. The negative control is shown in bottom right hand panel - for the negative control, PBS was used instead of the primary antibody.

Immunohistochemical staining of human stomach adenocarcinoma tissue with ab76539 (unpurified) at1/100-1/250.

Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed via the pressure cooker method before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

ab76539 (unpurified) stained HCT116 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed for 10 minutes at room temperature and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1 hour at room temperature to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab76539 at 1/200 dilution) 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 1 hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43 µM for 1hour at room temperature.

Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed via the pressure cooker method before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Overlay histogram showing MCF7 cells stained with unpurified ab76539 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. 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 (ab76539, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line). Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.
