Recombinant Anti-Rad51 antibody [EPR4030(3)] (ab133534)

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of Jurkat (human T cell leukemia cell line from peripheral blood) cells labelling Rad51 with purified ab133534 at 1/1000. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. DAPI (blue) was used as the nuclear counterstain. ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin (1/1000) and ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000) were also used.

Control 1: primary antibody (1/1000) and secondary antibody, ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000).

Control 2: ab7291 (1/1000) and secondary antibody, ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000).

Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human cervix carcinoma tissue labelling Rad51 with purified ab133534 at 1/500. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, a HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500). Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labelling Rad51 with purified ab133534 at 1/350 (red). Cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. A FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG. Blue - Unlabelled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies. 

ab133534 (purified) at 1/100 immunoprecipitating Rad51 in HEK-293 (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney) whole cell lysate.

Lane 1 (input): HEK-293 whole cell lysate (10µg)

Lane 2 (+): ab133534 + HEK-293 whole cell lysate.

Lane 3 (-): Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab133534 in HEK-293 whole cell lysate.

For western blotting, a HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG, specific to the non-reduced form of IgG was used as the secondary antibody (1/1500).

Blocking buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM /TBST.

Immunocytochemical analysis of DT40 cells (WT and the indicated KOs) labeling Rad51 using ab133534 at 1/200 dilution.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human testis tissue labelling Rad51 with unpurified ab133534 at a dilution of 1/100.

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells stained with unpurified ab133534 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 minutes) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 minutes. 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 (unpurified ab133534, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 minutes at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluorr^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 minutes at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1 µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabeled 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.
