Recombinant Anti-FOXA1 antibody [EPR10881] - ChIP Grade (ab170933)

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab170933 observed at 52 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

Unpurified ab170933 was shown to specifically react with FOXA1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in FOXA1 knockout cells. Wild-type and FOXA1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab170933 and ab9484 (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 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. 

Chromatin was prepared from LNCaP cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25µg of chromatin, 5µg of ab170933 (red), and 20µl of protein A/G sepharose beads slurry (10µl of sepharose A beads + 10µl of sepharose G beads). 5μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (grey). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Sybr green approach).

Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab170933 observed at 52 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.

 ab170933 was shown to react with FOXA1 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab261823 (knockout cell lysate ab256920) was used. Wild-type HeLa and FOXA1 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. ab170933 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.

Blocking and diluting buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human breast carcinoma tissue labeling FOXA1 with unpurified ab170933 at 1/100 dilution. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using citrate buffer pH 6.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma) cells labeling FOXA1 with purified ab170933 at 1/200 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.
