  Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-NFAT2 antibody [7A6] (ab2796)

  Overlay histogram showing Jurkat cells stained with ab2796 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 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 (ab2796, 1μg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight^® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (Mouse IgG1, Kappa Monoclonal [B11/6] - Isotype Control ab91353, 2μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in Jurkat cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

  Western blot - Anti-NFAT2 antibody [7A6] (ab2796)

  False colour image of Western blot: Anti-NFAT2 antibody [7A6] staining at 5 ug/ml, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab2796 was shown to bind specifically to NFAT2. A band was observed at 75/80/90 kDa in wild-type HAP1 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in NFATC1 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and NFATC1 knockout HAP1 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-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216777) at 1/20000 dilution.

  Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-NFAT2 antibody [7A6] (ab2796)

  IHC image of NFAT2 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human Hodgkin's lymphoma* performed on a Leica BOND^TM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab2796, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
  

  For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

  Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-NFAT2 antibody [7A6] (ab2796)

  ab2796 staining human normal tonsil tissue. Staining is localized to cytoplasm and nucleus.
  Left panel: with primary antibody at 1 μg/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 EDTA pH 9.0 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 hematoxylin 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.
