Recombinant Anti-STAT1 antibody [EPR4407] (ab109320)

STAT1 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg MCF7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) whole cell lysate 10 µg with 109320 at 1/50 dilution (2µg). VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP)(ab131366) was used at 1/5000 dilution.

Lane 1: MCF7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) whole cell lysate 10 µg

Lane 2: ab109320 IP in MCF7 whole cell lysate

Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab109320 in MCF7 whole cell lysate

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

Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab109320 observed at 87 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.

 ab109320 was shown to react with STAT1 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255346 (knockout cell lysate ab263837) was used. Wild-type HeLa and STAT1 knockout HeLa cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab109320 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 10000 dilution and a 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.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab109320 (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 (ab109320, 1/10000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor^® 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.
