Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-CTGF antibody [EPR20728] - BSA and Azide free (AB231824)

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab209780).

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% Paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% TritonX-100 permeabilized Rat-1 (rat embryonic fibroblast) cells labelling CTGF with ab209780 at 1/100 (21.45 ug/ml) dilution, followed by ab150081 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488) preadsorbed antibody at 1/1000 (2ug/ml) dilution (Green).

Confocal image showing increased cytoplasmic staining in Rat-1 cells (shown in green) treated with TGFβ (10 ng/mL) and Herparin sodium salt (50 μg/mL) for 24 hr. The counterstain was observed in magenta. Nuclear DNA was labeled with DAPI (shown in blue). Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin mouse monoclonal antibody - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor^® 594) was used to counterstain tubulin at 1/200 (2.5 ug/ml) dilution (Magenta).

Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is ab150081 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 (2 ug/ml) dilution.

The level of CTGF expression can be induced by TGFß treatment (PMID : 17786299).

CTGF is constitutively expressed in HepG2 cells (PMID : 15886528).

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-CTGF antibody [EPR20728] - BSA and Azide free (AB231824)

CTGF was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma epithelial cell) whole cell lysate with ab209780 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab209780 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/5000 dilution.

Western blot - Anti-CTGF antibody [EPR20728] - BSA and Azide free (AB231824)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-CTGF antibody [EPR20728] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab209780 was shown to bind specifically to CTGF. A band was observed at 38 kDa in wild-type U-2 OS cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CTGF knockout cell line ab261880 (knockout cell lysate ab261689). To generate this image, wild-type and CTGF knockout U-2 OS cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % 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 (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.
