Recombinant Anti-LC3B antibody [EPR18709] - BSA and Azide free (ab221794)

This data was developed using ab192890, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation. Different batches of ab192890 were tested onU-87 MG (Human glioblastoma-astrocytoma epithelial cell line) lysate at 0.9 µg/ml. 15 µg of lysate was loaded in each lane. Bands observed at 14,16 kDa.

ab192890 staining LC3B in HeLa cells +/- Chloroquine (50μM, 24 hours). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab192890 at 1μg/ml and ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor^® 594), at 1/250 dilution (shown in pseudocolor red) followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab192890).

 IHC image of LC3B staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human cerebral cortex* performed on a Leica BOND^TM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab221794, 0.1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

LC3B was immunoprecipitated from 1mg of HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) whole cell lysate with ab192890 at 1/50 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab192890 at 1/1000 dilution. Veriblot for IP (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/1000 dilution.

Clone EPR18709 (ab221794) has been successfully conjugated by Abcam. This image was generated using Anti-LC3B antibody [EPR18709] - Autophagosome Marker (Alexa Fluor® 647). Please refer to ab225383 for protocol details.

ab225383 staining LC3B in wild-type HAP1 cells and knockout cells, untreated and chloroquine-treated (50μM, 24 hours). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab225383 at 0.5μg/ml (shown in red) and ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor^® 488), at 1/250 dilution (shown in green) overnight at +4°C. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa cells labeling LC3B with ab192890 at 1/500 dilution. Cells were fixed in Methanol. Staining with ab192890 at 1/500 was carried out for 1 hour at 22°C in PBS buffer. ab150081, a Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488) preadsorbed secondary antibody was used at 1/200 dilution. DAPI was used to counterstain.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab192890).
