ab51067 staining Met (c-Met) in human breast tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections).

Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.05% Tween-20 and blocked for 30 minutes at 22°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in antigen retrieval buffer (100X citrate buffer pH 6.0) (ab94674). Samples were incubated with the primary antibody (1/100) for 14 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/300) was used as the secondary antibody.

Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin embedded human bladder carcinoma with purified ab51067 at a working dilution of 1/100. The secondary antibody used is HRP goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (ab97051) at 1/500. The sample is counterstained with hematoxylin. Antigen retrieval was perfomed using Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9.0.

PBS was used instead of the primary antibody as the negative control (inset).

Lanes 1 - 3: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab51067 observed at 240 kDa. Red - loading control, ab18058, observed at 130 kDa.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab51067 and ab18058 (loading control) overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at a 1:10000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged.

Blocking/Dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunofluorescence staining of Jurkat (Human T cell leukemia cell line from peripheral blood) cells with purified ab51067 at a working dilution of 1/100, counterstained with DAPI. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit (ab150077), used at a dilution of 1/1000. ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin antibody (1/1000), was used to stain tubulin along with ab150120 (Alexa Fluor^® 594 goat anti-mouse, 1/1000), shown in the top right hand panel.

The cells were fixed in 100% methanol and permeabilized using 0.1% Triton X 100.

The negative controls are shown in bottom middle and right hand panels - for negative control 1, purified ab51067 was used at a dilution of 1/500 followed by an Alexa Fluor^® 594 goat anti-mouse antibody (ab150120) at a dilution of 1/500. For negative control 2, ab7291 (mouse anti-tubulin) was used at a dilution of 1/500 followed by an Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit antibody (ab150077) at a dilution of 1/400.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells fixed in 4% PFA and stained with purified ab51067 at a dilution of 1 in 100 (red line). The secondary antibody used was FITC goat anti-rabbit at a dilution of 1 in 500. Rabbit monoclonal IgG was used as an isotype control (black line) and cells incubated in the absence of both primary and secondary antibody were used as a negative control (blue line).

Overlay histogram showing Jurkat (Human T cell leukemia cell line from peripheral blood) cells stained with unpurified ab51067 (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 (ab51067, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was a goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor^® 488 (IgG, H+L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C.

Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabeled 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.

Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 2: Met (c-Met) knockout HAP1 cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 3: HepG2 cell lysate (40µg) (40 µg)
Lane 4: HEK-293 cel lysate (40µg) (40 µg)

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab51067 observed at 240 kDa. Red - loading control, ab18058, observed at 124 kDa.

ab51067 was shown to specifically recognize Met (c-Met) in wild-type HAP1 cells along with additional cross reactive bands. No bands were observed when Met (c-Met) knockout samples were used. Wild-type and Met (c-Met) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab51067 and ab18058 (loading control to Vinculin) were diluted at 1/1000 and 1/10,000 dilution respectively and incubated overnight at 4C. 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 1hr at room temperature before imaging.
