Recombinant Anti-MUC1 antibody [EPR1023] (ab109185)

Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin embedded human endometrium with purified ab109185 at a working dilution of 1 in 500. The secondary antibody used is a HRP polymer for rabbit IgG. The sample is counter-stained with hematoxylin. Antigen retrieval was perfomed using Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9.0. PBS was used instead of the primary antibody as the negative control, and is shown in the inset.

Lanes 1 - 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab109185 observed at 24 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

ab109185 was shown to specifically react with MUC1 in wild-type HeLa cells as signal was lost in MUC1 knockout cells. Wild-type and MUC1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab109185 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 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunofluorescence staining of A431 cells with purified ab109185 at a working dilution of 1 in 1000, counter-stained with DAPI. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor^® 555 goat anti rabbit, used at a dilution of 1 in 400. The cells were fixed in 4% PFA and permeabilized using 0.1% Triton X 100. The negative control is shown in bottom right hand panel - for the negative control, purified ab109185 was used at a dilution of 1/200 followed by an Alexa Fluor^® 555 goat anti-mouse antibody at a dilution of 1/500.

Diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM /TBST.

Overlay histogram showing MCF7 cells fixed in 2% PFA andstained with purified ab109185 at a dilution of 1 in 30 (pink line). The secondary antibody used wasFITC goat anti-rabbit at a dilution of 1 in 150. Rabbit monoclonal IgG was used as an isotype control. 

Overlay histogram showing MCF7 cells stained with unpurified ab109185 (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 (ab109185, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluorr^® 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 MCF7 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.
