Recombinant Anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody [EP1628Y] - Cytoskeleton Marker (ab53280)

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab53280 observed at 55 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.  

 ab53280 was shown to react with Cytokeratin 8 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255400 (knockout cell lysate ab263785) was used. Wild-type and Cytokeratin 8 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab53280 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 10000 (For unpurified use at 1/25,000 - 1/50,000) dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. 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 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of HT-29 (Human colorectal adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling Cytokeratin 9 with Purified ab53280 at 1:500 dilution. Cells were fixed in 100% Methanol and permeabilized with None. Cells were counterstained with ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor^® 594) 1:200 (2.5 μg/ml). ab150077 Goat anti rabbit IgG(Alexa Fluor^® 488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1:1000 dilution. DAPI nuclear counterstain. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control.

Alexa Fluor^® 488 (ab192467) and Alexa Fluor^® 647 (ab192468) conjugated versions are available for this clone.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa (Human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling Cytokeratin 8 with purified ab53280 at 1/20 dilution (red). Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluorr^® 488) secondary antibody was used at 1/2000 dilution. Isotype control - Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black). Unlabeled control - Cell without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue). 

Alexa Fluorr^®488 (ab192467) and Alexa Fluorr^®647 (ab192468) conjugated versions are available for this clone. 

Blocking and diluting buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa (human cervix adenocarcinoma) labelling Cytokeratin 8 with purified ab53280 at 1/500. Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilised by 0.1% tritonX-100. An Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody (Ab150077). Nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Unpurified ab53280 staining Cytokeratin 8 in Mouse liver tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formalin and blocked with 10% serum for 20 minutes at 23°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/75 in TBS + 1% BSA) for 1 hour at 23°C. A Biotin-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody.

Overlay histogram showingHeLa cells stained with unpurifiedab53280 (red line). The cells were fixed with 2%PFA (room temperature, 30 min) and then permeabilized with 1%FACS permeabilizing solutionfor 30 min. The cells were then incubated in3% FBS in 1X PBSfollowed by the antibody (ab53280, 1/20 dilution) for1 hourat room temperature. The cells were then incubated for 30 min at room temperature with the secondary antibody. An isotype control antibody (black line) was used and an unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.
