Recombinant Anti-BRAF antibody [EP152Y] (ab33899)

Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab33899 observed at 90 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.

 ab33899 was shown to react with BRAF in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265373 (knockout cell lysate ab257078) was used. Wild-type HeLa and BRAF 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. ab33899 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human breast cancer tissue sections labeling BRAF with purified ab33899 at 1/100 dilution (4.77 µg/ml). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using heat mediated antigen retrieval using ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0). ImmunoHistoProbe one step HRP Polymer (ready to use) was used as the secondary antibody. Negative control: PBS instead of the primary antibody. Hematoxylin was used as a counterstain.

Lanes 1 - 3: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab33899 (unpurified) observed at 90 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

ab33899 was shown to recognize B Raf in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in B Raf knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and B Raf knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab33899 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

ab33899 (Purified) at 1/20 dilution (20 µg/ml) immunoprecipitating BRAF in HeLa whole cell lysate.
Lane 1 (input): HeLa (human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) whole cell lysate 10 µg
Lane 2 (+): ab33899 & HeLa whole cell lysate
Lane 3 (-): Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab33899 in HeLa whole cell lysate
For western blotting, ab33899 at 1/500 and VeriBlot for IP secondary antibody (HRP) (ab131366) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.
Blocking and diluting buffer: 5% NFDM /TBST .

This image shows paraffin embedded human prostate cancer tissue sample stained with ab33899 (unpurified) at 1/250 dilution.

ab33899 (unpurified) staining B Raf cells from human prostate tissue by immunohistochemistry (formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). Cells were formaldehyde fixed and permeabilized in PBS-Tween 20 prior to blocking in 70% serum for 10 minutes at 25°C. The primary antibody was diluted 1/250 and incubated with the sample for 1 hour at 25°C. A biotin conjugated goat polyclonal to mouse Ig was used as the secondary.
