Recombinant Anti-Histone H2A.X antibody [EPR895] (ab124781)

Blocking buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM /TBST.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa (human cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labeling Histone H2A.X with purified ab124781 at 1/100 dilution (10ug/ml) (red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) (1/2000 dilution) was used as the secondary antibody. Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black) was used as the isotype control, cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue) was used as the unlabeled control. 

~22kDa band may be the monoubiquitinated form of histone H2A

Blocking buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM /TBST.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human liver tissue labelling Histone H2A.X with unpurified ab124781 at 1/500. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9. A prediluted HRP-polymer conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa cells labelling Histone H2A.X with purified ab124781 at a dilution of 1/1000. Cells were fixed with either 4% PFA (top) or 100% methanol (bottom) and permeabilized with 0.1% TritonX-100. ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody.

ab7291 mouse anti-Tubulin (1/1000) followed by ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000) were used to label tubulin. DAPI was used as the nulear counterstain.

Histone H2A.X was immunoprecipitated using 5ug of ab124781 from 200ul of HeLa whole cell extract lysate diluted to 0.5mg/ml in RIPA and 50ul of Protein G magnetic beads. No antibody was added to the control (-).

The antibody was incubated under agitation with the Protein G beads for 10min, HeLa whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.

Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70°C. 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab124781 at 1ug/ml. The Secondary antibody was Mouse monoclonal SB62a Anti-Rabbit IgG light chain (HRP) (ab99697) at 1/10,000 dilution.

Band: 15kDa; Histone H2A.X
