Answer

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I am sorry to hear you have had difficulty obtaining satisfactory results from this antibody.

The details you have kindly provided will enable us to investigate this case for you and this is also helpful in our records for monitoring of quality.

I would like to reassure you that ab22744 is tested and covered by our 6 month guarantee for use in WB and human samples. In the event that a product is not functioning in the applications cited on the product data sheet, we will be pleased to provide a credit note or free of charge replacement.

Reviewing this case, I would like to offer some suggestions to help optimise the results from ab22744.

1.) I suggest to not use Tween in the blocking solution. The detergent could mask proteins that should be blocked and therefore allow the background bands. Other users have good experience with blocking over night .

2.) To achieve the most specific binding of the antibody I recommend to incubate it at 4C over night.

3.) Maybe the addition of DTT was reducing agent instead of beta mercaptoethanol will help reduce the background..

I hope this information is helpful, thank you for your cooperation. Should the suggestions not improve the results, please do not hesitate to contact me again with the further requested details.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I will use methanol to fix my cells and try cadherin antibody again. I will let you know the results in a few days.

OK, good luck. If it does not work, I will have some suggestions for a different membrane marker, most likely anti-Na/K ATPase.

Question

I have tested the new cadherin antibody (ab22744). It works better than the previous one. However, it is not what I expected to be. Here attached the images.

I followed the suggested concentration (5 ug/ml) and general protocol for immunocytochemistry. I also used a higher concentration (10 ug/ml). The problem is not because of the cadherin concentration but the specificity to the cadherin as a plasma membrane marker within my Sol8 cells (a myogenic cell line).

I am thinking of using another plasma membrane marker. How about the Na/K ATPase? I wish I can get another replacement.

I will look forward to your reply. Thanks for your time and help.

Answer

Thank you for the images of the staining with ab22744.

I agree the staining is not what is usually observed for cadherin. I think you are expecting something like what one of our reviewers saw. The data is at this link:

https://www.abcam.com/pan-Cadherin-antibody-mAbcam22744-ab22744.html&tab=abreviews&intabreviewid=22768

Are you still fixing your cells with PFA? It may be that correct staining is dependent on the fixation protocol. The data we have for ab22744 is all from methanol-fixed cells. I suggest trying this if you are able to, fixation in cold methanol for five minutes, followed by rinsing with PBS.

Please let me know if you are willing to try this. If not, we can discuss replacement with a Na ATPase antibody.
