Recombinant Anti-PKR antibody [Y117] (ab32506)

Lanes 1, 3 and 5: PKR knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 2, 4 and 6: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 1 and 2: Green signal from target - ab32506 observed at 62 kDa
Lanes 3 and 4: Red signal from loading control - ab8245 observed at 37 kDa
Lanes 5 and 6: Merged (red and green) signal
ab32506 was shown to specifically react with PKR when PKR knockout samples were used. Wild-type and PKR knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab32506 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted 1/10 000 and 1/2000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. 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 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

ab32506 staining PKR in wild-type HAP1 cells (top panel) and PKR knockout HAP1 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab32506 at 1/400 dilution and ab7291 at 1ug/ml concentration overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to Mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150117) at 2ug/ml (shown in pseudo-color red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HAP1 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min).

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

ab32506 staining PKR in human liver carcinoma tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a EDTA buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody at a dilution of 1/100. A goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) ab97051 was used as the secondary antibody at a dilution of 1/500.

Negative control 1: PBS in place of primary antibody.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of MCF-7 (human breast carcinoma) cells labeling PKR with purified ab32506 at 1/20 dilution (10ug/ml) (red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) (1/2000 dilution) was used as the secondary antibody. Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black) was used as the isotype control, cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue) were used as the unlabeled control. 

ab32506 immunoprecipitating PKR. 10µg of cell lysate was incubated with primary antibody at a dilution of 1/40 and VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366) at a dilution of 1/10000.

ab32506 staining PKR in MCF-7 (human breast carcinoma) cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody at a dilution of 1/100. A goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody. ab7291 and ab150120 were used as counterstains for primary antibody ab32506 and secondary antibody ab150077 respectively and DAPI was used as a nuclear counterstain.

Negative control 1: Rabbit primary antibody and anti-mouse secondary antibody (ab150120)
Negative control 2: Mouse primary antibody (ab7291) and anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ab150077)
