Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Sumo 2 + Sumo 3 antibody (AB3742)
Immunofluorescent imaging of human cells (U2OS) with ab3742 confirms the specificity of this antibody. Antibody signal is localised exclusively to the nucleus, with diffuse background staining of the nucleoplasm. Intense foci of staining are also evident, corresponding to SUMO-2/3 accumulation in nuclear subdomains such as the PML body. This image is in exact agreement with several published reports (see for example Saitoh H et al.).
IF was performed with a standard paraformaldehyde technique (fixed in PBS buffered PFH 4% for 5 minutes, permeabilised with 0.5% triton-PBS for 5 minutes, blocked with 5% milk / 0.2% tween for one hour. Primary antibody used at 1/100 in 5% milk / 0.2% TWEEN for one hour, secondary antibody for 30 minutes. All blocking and incubation steps carried out at 37 degrees. Nuclei are stained with Hoechst stain.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Sumo 2 + Sumo 3 antibody (AB3742)
IHC image of Sumo 2+3 staining in human colon adenocarcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM 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 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab3742, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. 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.

Left-hand images show uninfected cells and the co-localization of SUMO-2/3 with PML (red) in control (upper rows of each block of 4 images) and PML depleted (low rows of each block of 4 images) HepaRG cells. Right-hand images show typical examples of recruitment of the indicated proteins to sites associated with HSV-1 genomes (ICP4; red) in cells at the edges of ICP0 null mutant (ΔICP0) plaques in control and PML depleted HepaRG cells. Scale bars indicate 5 μm.
Cells on glass coverslips were fixed with 1.5% formaldehyde in PBS containing 2% sucrose then treated with 0.5% Nonidet P40 substitute in PBS/10% sucrose. SUMO-2/3 was detected with ab3742. An Alexa-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody.

ab3742 staining Sumo 2 + 3 in Human skin. The paraffin embedded human skin tissue was incubated with ab3742 (1/800 dilution) for 30 mins at room temperature. Antigen retrieval was performed by heat induction in citrate buffer pH 6. ab3742 was tested in a tissue microarray (TMA) containing a wide range of normal and cancer tissues as well as a cell microarray consisting of a range of commonly used, well characterised human cell lines.

ab3742 staining Sumo 2+3 in Xenopus laevis oocyte cell by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with formaldehyde, permeabilized with NP-40 0.1% in PBS and blocked with 3% BSA for 60 minutes at 23°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/250 in PBS + 3% BSA) for 1 hour at 23°C. An undiluted Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody.

The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-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 overnight at 4°C with ab3742 at 1µg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Biological function summary
Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 play essential roles in numerous cellular processes by modifying several target proteins in the nucleus and cytoplasm. They are part of a complex regulatory system that modulates processes like nuclear transport chromosome segregation and DNA repair. Sumo 2/3 often work in tandem with other members of the SUMO family including SUMO-1 to ensure proper cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
Sumo 2 and Sumo 3 are intimately involved in fundamental cellular signaling pathways such as the p53 pathway and NF-κB pathway. These proteins modulate the activity of key proteins within these pathways including the tumor suppressor p53 and the transcription factor NF-κB which regulate cell survival proliferation and apoptosis. Sumo 2/3-related modifications can alter the stability and function of these proteins thereby influencing cellular response to stimuli.
