Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human breast labelling cytokeratin 7 with ab181598 at a concentration of 0.1µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a ChromoMap DAB kit and anti-rabbit HQ and anti-HQ HRP detection. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5 for 32mins. ab181598 anti-Cytokeratin 7 antibody [EPR17078] was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

Western blot - Anti-Cytokeratin 7 antibody [EPR17078] - Cytoskeleton Marker (AB181598)
Western blot : Anti-KRT7 antibody [EPR17078] (ab181598) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab181598 was shown to bind specifically to KRT7. A band was observed at 40-55 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in KRT7 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and KRT7 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.
