Recombinant Anti-Smad2 antibody [EP567Y] (ab33875)

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab33875 observed at 58 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.

 ab33875 was shown to react with Smad2 in wild-type HeLa. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255430 (knockout cell lysate ab263833) was used. Wild-type and Smad2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab33875 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. 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 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Lanes 1 - 3: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab33875 observed at 52 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

ab33875 was shown to specifically react with Smad2 in wild-type WT HeLa cells as signal was lost in SMAD2 knockout cells. Wild-type and SMAD2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab33875 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.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa (human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial) cells labeling Smad2 with ab33875 at a dilution of 1/500. ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit was used at 1/1000 was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 0.1% tritonX-100. Counterstain antibody: ab195889, anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor^® 594) at 1/200.

Secondary antibody only negative control is shown in the bottom panels.

Overlay histogram showing PC3 cells stained with unpurified ab33875 (red line). The cells were fixed with 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 (ab33875, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit monoclonal IgG (1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a decreased signal in PC3 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Tween used under the same conditions.
