This data was developed using ab32517, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Western blot : Anti-MAP2K2 antibody [Y78] (ab32517) staining at 1/10000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab32517 was shown to bind specifically to MAP2K2. A band was observed at 44 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MAP2K2 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and MAP2K2 knockout HCT 116 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.

This data was developed using ab32517, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab32517 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab32517, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.

This data was developed using ab32517, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab32517 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) at a 1 : 10000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged.
