Recombinant Anti-beta Catenin antibody [E247] - ChIP Grade (ab32572)

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-beta Catenin antibody [E247] - ChIP Grade staining at 1/5000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab32572 was shown to bind specifically to beta Catenin. A band was observed at 85 kDa in wild-type HepG2 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CTNNB1 knockout cell line (ab277911). To generate this image, wild-type and CTNNB1 knockout HepG2 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.

ab32572 staining in CTNNB1 (beta Catenin) wild-type HAP1 cells (top panel) and in CTNNB1 (β-catenin) 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 ab32572 at 1/250 dilution and ab195889 at 1/250 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red) overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150081) secondary antibody at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labeled in blue with DAPI.

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

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab32572 observed at 90 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

ab32572 was shown to specifically react with CTNNB1 (β-catenin) in wild type HAP1 cells. No band was observed when CTNNB1 (β-catenin) knockout samples were used. Wild-type and CTNNB1 (β-catenin) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab32572 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1/5000 dilution and 1/10000 dilution respectively. 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 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunohistochemical analysis of human cervical carcinoma tissue staining beta Catenin with ab32572 at 1/500 dilution. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was perfomed with citrate buffer (pH 6) 

Chromatin was prepared from HCT 116 cells according to the Abcam Dual-X-ChIP protocol*. Cells were fixed with 1.5 mM EGS for 30 mins and then formaldehyde for 10 min.

The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 5 µg of ab32572 (red), or 5 µg of rabbit normal IgG ab172730 (gray) and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active and inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci)

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded rat liver pancreas labeling beta Catenin with ab32572 at 1/1000 dilution, followed by a ready to use Rabbit specific IHC polymer detection kit HRP/DAB (ab209101). Membranous staining on rat pancreas. The section was incubated with ab32572 for 30 mins at room temperature. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Counterstained with Hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins

Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is a ready to use Rabbit specific IHC polymer detection kit HRP/DAB (ab209101).

Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab32572 observed at 86 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.

 ab32572 was shown to react with beta Catenin in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255352 (knockout cell lysate ab263756) was used. Wild-type HeLa and CTNNB1 knockout HeLa cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab32572 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 500 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. 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 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-beta Catenin antibody [E247] - ChIP Grade staining at 1/5000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab32572 was shown to bind specifically to beta Catenin. A band was observed at 95 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CTNNB1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab273712 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab275247). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 95 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of beta Catenin. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and CTNNB1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % 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.

Different expression level of beta Catenin in HCTs (hepatocellular carcinoma tissues) and PLTs (para-cancerous liver tissues).

The HCTs, PLTs were paraffin-embedded and cut into sections with 5 μm-thickness for hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis. ab32572 was used at a dilution of 1:400. The second antibody was a biotinylated IgG to incubate 40 minutes at 37°C. Finally, the tissue slices were visualized by the 3, 3-diaminobenzidine solution and counterstained with hematoxylin. Substitution of the primary antibody with phosphate-buffered saline was served as a control for IHC.

The beta Catenin with negative, weak, moderate and strong staining activity was respectively detected in HCTs (E-H) and PLTs (M-P). Section E shown above, for full image please see original paper.
