Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of MCF7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma cell line) cells labeling GCN2 with purified ab134053 at 1/100 dilution (10 ug/ml). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. A Goat anti-rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) secondary antibody was used at 1/2000 dilution. Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black) was used as the isotypre control. Cells without incubation with the primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue) is the unlabeled control.

Unpurified ab134053 was shown to recognize GCN2 when GCN2 knockout samples were used, along with additional cross-reactive bands. Wild-type and GCN2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab134053 and ab18058 (loading control to Vinculin) were diluted at 1/1000 and 1/10 000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. 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 1/10000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

Immunofluorescence staining of MCF-7 cells with purified ab134053 at a working dilution of 1/500, counter-stained with DAPI. The secondary antibody was an Alexa Fluor^® 488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit (ab150077), used at a dilution of 1/1000. The cells were fixed in 100% methanol. The negative control is shown in bottom right hand panel - for the negative control, PBS was used instead of the primary antibody.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with unpurified ab134053 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% 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 (ab134053, 1/10000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.
