Lanes 1 - 5 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab253197 observed at 68-70 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) observed at 37kDa.
ab253197 was shown to react with MeCP2 in wild-type HAP1 cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when MECP2 knockout sample was used. Wild-type and MECP2 knockout HAP1 cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBS-T (0.1% Tween®) before incubation with ab253197 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

To generate this image, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5pc 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.
