Recombinant Anti-AKT3 + AKT2 + AKT1 antibody [Y89] (ab32505)

Blocking and diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST

ab32505 staining in SK-N-SH cells treated with alsterpaullone (ab141070), by ICC/IF. Decrease of AKT1 + AKT2 + AKT3 expression correlates with increased concentration of alsterpaullone, as described in literature.
The cells were incubated at 37°C for 6h in media containing different concentrations of ab141070 (alsterpaullone) in DMSO, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature. Staining of the treated cells with ab32505 (1/200 dilution was performed overnight at 4°C in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.1% tween. A DyLight 488 anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody (ab96899) at 1/250 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and are shown in blue.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab32505 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 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 (ab32505, 1/20 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit monoclonal IgG (1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a slightly decreased signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Tween used under the same conditions.
