Recombinant Anti-SP1 antibody [EPR22648-50] - ChIP Grade (ab231778)

ab231778 was shown to specifically react with SP1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in SP1 knockout cells. Wild-type and SP1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab231778 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated 1 hour at room temperature at 1/1000 dilution and 1/200,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L), Peroxidase conjugated (ab97051) secondary antibody at 1/100,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. The blot was developed on a BIO-RAD® ChemiDoc™ MP instrument using the ECL technique.

 ab231778 Anti-SP1 antibody [EPR22648-50] was shown to specifically react with SP1 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265519 (knockout cell lysate ab257698) was used. Wild-type and SP1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab231778 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 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.

SP1 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg HeLa (Human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) whole cell lysate using ab231778 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed on the immunoprecipitate using ab231778 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/5000 dilution.

Lane 1: HeLa whole cell lysate 10 µg (input).
Lane 2: ab231778 IP in HeLa whole cell lysate.
Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab231778 in HeLa whole cell lysate.

Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Exposure time: 3 minutes.
