Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-EIF2S1 antibody [EIF2a] (AB5369)
ab5369 staining EIF2S1 in human placenta. Staining is localised to the cytoplasm.
Left panel : with primary antibody at 2 ug/ml. Right panel : isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 AR buffer citrate pH 6.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS), then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes, and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

Immunohistochemistry analysis of EIF 2ALPHA (EIF2A) showing staining in the cytoplasm of paraffin-embedded human colon carcinoma (right) compared to a negative control without primary antibody (left). To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), microwaved for 8-15 min. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with ab5369.

Immunocytochemistry - Anti-EIF2S1 antibody [EIF2a] (AB5369)
Immunofluorescence analysis of eIF2a was done on 70% confluent log phase A549 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with ab5369 1 : 250 dilution in1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Superclonal Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate at a dilution of 1 : 2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a : green). Nuclei (Panel b : blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI. F-actin (Panel c : red) was stained with Rhodamine Phalloidin (1 : 300). Panel d is a merged image showing Cytoplasmic localization. Panel e is a no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 60X magnification.

ICC/IF image of ab5369 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab5369, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

Biological function summary
EIF2α acts as a regulatory component of the eIF2 complex which is central to initiating translation in eukaryotic cells. Phosphorylation of eIF2α leads to inhibition of the exchange of GDP to GTP on eIF2 effectively reducing global protein synthesis while allowing the translation of specific mRNAs involved in stress responses. The eIF2α forms part of the eIF2 complex working closely with other subunits to exert its regulatory functions.
Pathways
EIF2α is involved in the integrated stress response (ISR) and other protein synthesis pathways. The phosphorylation state of eIF2α is important in ISR linking it to proteins such as PERK and GCN2 which respond to various stress signals. Phospho-eIF2α plays a significant role in modulating the translation response to cellular stress ensuring cells can adapt or initiate apoptosis depending on the conditions.
