Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 antibody [EPR18377-106] - BSA and Azide free (AB226869)
Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized RAW 264.7 (mouse macrophage cell line transformed with Abelson murine leukemia virus) cells, untreated or treated with lipopolysaccharide (1 μg/ml) for 6 hours, labeling COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 with ab188183 at 1/250 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution (green). Confocal image showing increased cytoplasmic staining on RAW 264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (1 μg/ml) for 6 hours.
The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab195889) (red) at 1/200 dilution.
Secondary antibody only control : Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab188183).

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 antibody [EPR18377-106] - BSA and Azide free (AB226869)
COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of NIH/3T3 (mouse embryo fibroblast cell line) whole cell lysate with ab188183 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab188183 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/10000 dilution.

Lane 2 : ab188183 IP in NIH/3T3 whole cell lysate.
Lane 3 : Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab188183 in NIH/3T3 whole cell lysate.
Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration : 5% NFDM/TBST.
Exposure : 3 minutes.

Western blot - Anti-COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 antibody [EPR18377-106] - BSA and Azide free (AB226869)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 antibody [EPR18377-106] - N-terminal staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab188183 was shown to bind specifically to COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2. A band was observed at 74-76 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in PTGS2 knockout cell line ab280802 (knockout cell lysate ab283825). Band at 70 kDa in both wild-type and knockout samples is non-specific but exact protein is not determined. To generate this image, wild-type and PTGS2 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
COX2 plays a significant role in the inflammatory response and is part of the complex process of synthesizing prostaglandins. These compounds mediate inflammation and pain making COX2 an important target for understanding these processes. COX2 is not ubiquitously expressed but rather is induced in activated macrophages and other cells during inflammatory conditions. Its function is also important for normal physiological processes like ovulation and implantation.
Pathways
COX2 is essential in the prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway connecting it to the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway. Cyclooxygenase 2 works with phospholipase A2 which releases arachidonic acid from the phospholipid membrane. COX2 then converts this acid to prostaglandin H2 a precursor for other prostaglandins. COX1 the other isoform of cyclooxygenase is closely related to COX2 and while they have different expression patterns they share some functional similarities in these pathways.
