  • Description

    Mouse monoclonal [1H9] to Islet 1

  • Host species

    Mouse

  • Specificity

    In western blot, we observe a specific band at ~40kDa which is not seen in KO cell lines. A cross-reactive band was observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. The additional band below this band of interest is seen at ~38kDa in both the WT and KO cells. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.

      Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab86472 observed at 40 kDa. Red - loading control, ab176560, observed at 50 kDa.

      ab86472 was shown to recognize Islet 1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in Islet 1 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and Islet 1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab86472 and ab176560 (Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/500 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216772 and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216777 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

      Overlay histogram showing SH-SY5Y cells stained with ab86472 (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 (ab86472, 1/50 dilution) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x10^6 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive result in SH-SY5Y cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

    Question

    Our protocol for Islet 1 staining: 1/800 titer, Ventana Benchmark XT staining platform - CC1 32 minutes, primary antibody 32 minutes @37C, Ventana UltraView DAB detection kit I think credit would be best as we just ordered/received 4 vials of 1 lot that appears to work.

    Question

     Hello - Hopefully you can help us with some Islet 1 antibody lot issues, we have been working up the Islet 1 in a development setting on paraffin tissue for IHC testing.  We ordered some in August of 2010 and it produced acceptable results.  Then we reordered some in July of 2011 received two lots, both of which produced a lot of nonspecific staining.  Not knowing if it was a protocol issue or not we reordered again a week ago and received another lot that has staining similar to the first lot that we received.  We believe there was some sort of an issue with these lots - are you aware of any problems with these lots?

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting Abcam regarding ab86472. I am sorry that you are experiencing difficulties with some lots of this antibody in IHC. I have checked our current stock and currently we have a new lot available. I would be happy to send this as a replacement for the 4 vials that did not work from previous lots. Alternatively, I am happy to provide a credit. Would you also please provide a summary of the protocol you tested with this antibody? This will allow us to investigate this problem further. Thank you in advance for your cooperation so that we may continue to provide high quality antibodies. I look forward to your reply so that I may assist you further. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions or concerns.

    Question

    Wir haben von ihnen einen Antikörper gegen Islet1 geliefert bekommen. Ein früherer Antikörper von Islet1 war bei uns ohne Probleme gelaufen. Dieser Antikörper - ab86472 - Lot.No. GR14734 geht aber leider nicht. Wir haben diesen Antikörper auch bei einen Referenzlabor (gebrauchen auch den geichen Antikörper von Abcam) testen lassen -ohne Erfolg.   Ich bitte sie uns schnellstmöglich einen Ersatz für diese fehlerhafte Lot.No zu schicken.

    Answer

    Vielen Dank fuer Ihre email. Es tut mir sehr leid zu hoeren, dass das aktuelle Lot fuer ab86472 Ihnen Probleme bereitet. Eine Ersatzlieferung waere auf jeden Fall moeglich, falls der Antikoerper in getesteten Anwendungen (ELISA, ICC/IF, IHC-P, WB) und Spezien (Hu) verwendet wurde. Koennten Sie mir dazu bitte die folgenden experimentellen Details mitteilen: 1) In welcher Anwendung/Technik wurder der AK verwendet? 2) Was genau ist das Problem? 3) Welche Proben (Spezie, Probenart) wurden benutzt und wie wurden diese hergestellt oder vorbereitet? 4) Welche AK verduennung und Inkubationszeit wurde angewendet? 5) Welche Art von Fixierung, Blockierung und Detektion wurde benutzt? Diese Informationen werden uns mit der Qualitaetskontrolle und Begutachtung unserer Produkte weiterhelfen. Bitte schicken Sie mir diese Informationen so schnell wie moeglich, damit wir das Problem zuegig fuer Sie loesen koennen. Haben Sie vielen Dank im voraus! Ich freue mich wieder von Ihnen zu hoeren!
