Recombinant Anti-Nrf2 (phospho S40) antibody [EP1809Y] (ab76026)

Nrf2 was abundantly expressed in carcinomas, low grade dysplasias, and non-atypical epithelia of oral tissue.

Representative findings of Nrf2 staining in carcinoma (left), in low grade dysplasia (middle), and in non-atypical epithelium (right).

Corresponding PLA signals are displayed in the lower row. Scale bar; 100 µm.

Surgical specimens were transferred to 10% buffered formalin and fixed overnight. The fixed samples were embedded in paraffin, and serially sliced into 5 µm sections. After dewaxing, sections were autoclaved at 120°C for 1 min in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0), and immersed in 0.3% H₂O₂. They were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody to Nrf2 (diluted 1:200). The sections were rinsed with 1×PBS and incubated with the secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase at room temperature for 1 hour. The sections were then stained with 3.3′-diaminobenzidinetetrahydrochloride (DAB) and counterstained with hematoxylin.

Immunofluorescence analysis of Nrf2 levels in Kaposi's sarcoma skin lesions.

B) Healthy skin (top two rows) and KS skin tissue (bottom row) were double-stained for LANA-1 (Alexa-Fluor 594- red) and host phosphorylated pNrf2 (ab76026) (Alexa-Fluor^®488 – green). DAPI was used to visualize the nuclei, and the triple merge of LANA-1, pNrf2 and DAPI is shown in the third column.

Nrf2 Translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus.

(A) Human islets were treated with dh404 for 0.5, 1 or 2 hours. The treated and untreated samples were stained with Nrf2 antibody ab76026 (Green) and DAPI (Blue). The con-focal microscope clearly showed that the Nrf2 translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus in the dh404 treated human islet cells

Immunofluorescence staining of HepG2 cells with purified ab76026 at a working dilution of 1/100, counter-stained with DAPI. The treated cells were treated with alkaline phosphatase for 1 h at 37°C. 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 4% PFA 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 ab76026 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.

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).

Dot blot analysis of Nrf2 peptides using unpurified ab76026 at 1/1000 dilution followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L),Peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Blocking and diluting buffer was 5% NFDM/TBST.

Blocking buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST, dilution buffer: 5% NFDM /TBST, exposure time: 15 seconds

Unpurified ab76026 staining Nrf2 (phospho S40) in Human normal lung tissue sections by IHC-P (Formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% casein for 30 minutes at 4°C. Antigen retrieval was by heat mediation. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/50) in 1% casein for 24 hours at 4°C. An undiluted HRP-conjugated Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody.
