    • General notes

      ab242052 is the carrier-free version of ab33912. This format is designed for use in antibody labeling, including fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, enzymes.

      Our carrier-free formats are supplied in a buffer free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.

      Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

      ab242052 is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm.

      Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

      This product was previously labelled as MEK4.

      This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

      • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
      • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
      • - Long-term security of supply
      • - Animal-free production
      For more information see here.

      Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

      We are constantly working hard to ensure we provide our customers with best in class antibodies. As a result of this work we are pleased to now offer this antibody in purified format. We are in the process of updating our datasheets. The purified format is designated 'PUR' on our product labels. If you have any questions regarding this update, please contact our Scientific Support team.

      Reproducibility is key to advancing scientific discovery and accelerating scientists’ next breakthrough.

      Abcam is leading the way with our range of recombinant antibodies, knockout-validated antibodies and knockout cell lines, all of which support improved reproducibility.

      We are also planning to innovate the way in which we present recommended applications and species on our product datasheets, so that only applications & species that have been tested in our own labs, our suppliers or by selected trusted collaborators are covered by our Abpromise™ guarantee.

      In preparation for this, we have started to update the applications & species that this product is Abpromise guaranteed for.

      We are also updating the applications & species that this product has been “predicted to work with,” however this information is not covered by our Abpromise guarantee.

      Applications & species from publications and Abreviews that have not been tested in our own labs or in those of our suppliers are not covered by the Abpromise guarantee.

      Please check that this product meets your needs before purchasing. If you have any questions, special requirements or concerns, please send us an inquiry and/or contact our Support team ahead of purchase.

        Lanes 1, 5 and 9: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
        Lanes 2, 6 and 10: MEK4 knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
        Lanes 3, 7 and 11: HeLa cell lysate (20 µg)
        Lanes 4, 8 and 12: A431 cell lysate (20 µg)
        Lanes 1, 2, 3 and 4: Green signal from target - ab33912 observed at 44 kDa
        Lanes 5, 6, 7 and 8: Red signal from loading control - ab8245 observed at 37 kDa
        Lanes 9, 10, 11 and 12: Merged (red and green) signal

        ab33912 was shown to specifically react with MEK4 when MEK4 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and MEK4 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab33912 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted 1/1000 and 1/2000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/10 000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

        This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab33912).
