Recombinant Anti-Niemann Pick C1 antibody [EPR5209] (ab134113)

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab134113 observed at 180 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

ab134113 was shown to specifically react with Niemann Pick C1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in NPC1 (Niemann Pick C1) knockout cells. Wild-type and NPC1 (Niemann Pick C1) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab134113 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized Neuro-2a (mouse neuroblastoma cell line) cells labeling Niemann Pick C1 with ab134113 at 1/70 followed by Goat anti-rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/500(green). Confocal image showing cytoplasmic staining on Neuro-2a cell line. The nuclear counterstain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/1000 and ab150120(AlexaFluor®594 Goat anti-Mouse secondary) at 1/500  (red).

The negative controls are as follows:
-ve control 1 – ab134113 at 1/70 followed by ab150120 (AlexaFluor®594 Goat anti-Mouse secondary) at 1/500.
-ve control 2. - ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/1000 followed by ab150077 (Alexa Fluor®488 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L) at 1/500.

Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin embedded human liver with purified ab134113 at a working dilution of 1 in 50. The secondary antibody used is a HRP polymer for rabbit IgG. The sample is counter-stained 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, and is shown in the inset.

ab134113 staining Niemann Pick C1 in Neuro-2a (mouse neuroblastoma cell line) by intracellular flow cytometry. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permabilised with 90% methanol and the sample was incubated with the primary antibody at a dilution of 1/200. A goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) at a dilution of 1/2000 was used as the secondary antibody. 

Isoytype control: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black) 

Unlabeled control: Cell without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue) 

I1061T NPC1 traffics to autophagosomes 

I1061T NPC1 fibroblasts were treated with vehicle or 100 nM bafilomycin A1 (Baf) for 24 h. Fixed cells were stained for LC3 (red), NPC1 (green), and DAPI (blue) then imaged by confocal microscopy. Co-localization is indicated by yellow color in the merged image. Scale bar = 25 μm.

Niemann Pick C1 (NPC1) was detected using ab134113 at 1/200 dilution.
