Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-MSH6 antibody [44] (AB14204)
ab14204 staining MSH6 in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab14204 at 1/250dilution and ab202272 at 1/250 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red) overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to Mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150117) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

Western blot - Anti-MSH6 antibody [44] (AB14204)
Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab14204 observed at 160 kDa. Red - loading control, ab18251, observed at 52 kDa.
ab14204 was shown to specifically react with MSH6 in wild-type HAP1 cells along with additional cross reactive bands. No band was observed when MSH6 knockout HAP1 samples were used. Wild-type and MSH6 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab14204 and ab18251 (loading control to alpha Tubulin) were diluted at 1/100 and 1/10 000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) and Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

Biological function summary
MSH6 functions as part of the MMR complex which is essential for maintaining genomic stability. The MutSα complex where MSH6 pairs with MSH2 operates along with other proteins in the MMR pathway to correct DNA replication errors. MSH6 is also known to interact with PCNA a DNA polymerase processivity factor which facilitates its role in the repair process.
Pathways
MSH6 participates prominently in the DNA mismatch repair pathway. This pathway is critical for correcting DNA errors and preventing mutations during replication. In association with MLH1-PMS2 (MutLα complex) MSH6 ensures that DNA integrity is preserved. Additionally MSH6 is involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway where it collaborates with other repair proteins to fix small base lesions.
