Recombinant Anti-ErbB2 / HER2 antibody [EP1045Y] (ab134182)

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-ErbB2 / HER2 antibody [EP1045Y] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab134182 was shown to bind specifically to ErbB2 / HER2. A band was observed at 180 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in ERBB2 knockout cell line ab255387 (knockout cell lysate ab263758). To generate this image, wild-type and ERBB2 knockout HeLa 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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human breast carcinoma tissue sections labeling EErbB2 / HER2 with Purified ab134182 at 1:1600 dilution (0.68 µg/ml). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0). Tissue was counterstained with Hematoxylin. ImmunoHistoProbe one step HRP Polymer (ready to use) secondary antibody was used at 1:0 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the negative control.

Immunofluorescent analysis of SKBR cells labelling ErbB2 / HER2 with ab134182 at 1/250 dilution.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of SK-BR-3 (human mammary gland adenocarcinoma) labelling ErbB2 / HER2 with purified ab134182 at 1/125. Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. An Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody (Ab150077). Nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Control: PBS only
