Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-TGF alpha antibody [EPR15346] - BSA and Azide free (AB224266)

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human hepatocellular carcinoma tissue labeling TGF alpha with ab208156 at 1/4000 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution. Cytoplasm staining on the cancer cells of Human hepatocellular carcinoma is observed. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.

Secondary antibody only control : Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab208156).

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized HepG2 (Human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cell line) cells, treated with Brefeldin A (10 µM, 18 hours), labeling TGF alpha with ab208156 at 1/100 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution (green). Confocal image showing cytoplasmic staining on HepG2 cells, treated with Brefeldin A (10 µM, 18 hours). The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody - Loading Control (ab7291) at 1/1000 dilution and Goat Anti-Mouse IgG  (AlexaFluor®594) preadsorbed (ab150120) at 1/1000 dilution (red).

The negative controls are as follows :
-ve control 1 : ab208156 at 1/100 dilution followed by ab150120 at 1/1000 dilution.
-ve control 2 : ab7291  at 1/1000 dilution followed by ab150077 at 1/1000 dilution.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-TGF alpha antibody [EPR15346] - BSA and Azide free (AB224266)

TGF alpha was immunoprecipitated from 1mg of Ramos (Human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line) whole cell lysate with ab208156 at 1/40 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab208156 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/10000 dilution.

Lane 1 : Ramos whole cell lysate, 10μg (Input).

Lane 2 : ab208156 IP in Ramos whole cell lysate.

Lane 3 : Rabbit IgG,monoclonal [EPR25A]-Isotype Control (ab172730) instead of ab208156 in Ramos whole cell lysate.

Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration : 5% NFDM/TBST.
