Recombinant Anti-p21 antibody [EPR362] - BSA and Azide free (ab218311)

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-p21 antibody [EPR362] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab109520 was shown to bind specifically to p21. A band was observed at 21 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CDKN1A knockout cell line ab255349 (knockout cell lysate ab263812). To generate this image, wild-type and CDKN1A knockout y cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween^® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged.Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human thyroid carcinoma tissue labelling p21 with purified ab109520 at 1/100. 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.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with unpurified ab109520 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 20 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 ab109520, 1/100) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) (ab150081) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (ab172730, 1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.
