Recombinant Anti-IRS2 antibody [EPR904(2)] (ab134101)

Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of rat kidney tissue labelling IRS2 with purified ab134101 at 1/500. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, a HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500). Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of SH-SY5Y cells labelling IRS2 with purified ab134101 at 1/300. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. DAPI (blue) was used as the nuclear counterstain. ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin (1/1000) and ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000) were also used.

Control 1: primary antibody (1/300) and secondary antibody, ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000).

Control 2: ab7291 (1/1000) and secondary antibody, ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000).

Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa cells labelling IRS2 with purified ab134101 at 1/120 (red). Cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. A FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG. Blue - Unlabelled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human breast tissue labelling IRS2 with unpurified ab134101 at a dilution of 1/50.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human muscle tissue labelling IRS2 with unpurified ab134101 at a dilution of 1/50.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with unpurified ab134101 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 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 (unpurified ab134101, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.
