Recombinant Anti-STAT3 antibody [EPR787Y] (ab68153)

ChIC/CUT&RUN was performed using a pAG-MNAse at a final concentration of 700 ng/µL, 2.5 x 10^5 HepG2 cells (starved overnight and treated with 100ng/ml IL-6 for 30min) and 5 µg of ab68153 [EPR787Y]. The resulting DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 10 million reads. The negative IgG control ab172730 is also shown.

Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab68153 observed at 92 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.

 ab68153 was shown to react with STAT3 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255436 (knockout cell lysate ab263797) was used. Wild-type HeLa and STAT3 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. ab68153 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human brain tissue sections labelling STAT3 with purified ab68153 at 1/200. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. A prediluted HRP-polymer conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Counterstained with Hematoxylin.

Blocking/Diluting buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Rabbit monoclonal [EPR16891] to GAPDH (ab181602) used as loading control.

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab68153 observed at 92 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

Ab68153 detected the expected band for STAT3 in wild-type cells along with additional cross-reactive bands. The band was not seen in STAT3 knockout HAP1 cells. Wild-type and STAT3 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab68153 and ab8245 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/500 dilution and 1/10000 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 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa cells labelling STAT3 (green) with purified ab68153 at 1/200. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. An Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody. DAPI (blue) was used as the nuclear counterstain.

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 90% methanol and the sample was incubated with the primary antibody at a dilution of 1/30. A goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) at a dilution of 1/2000 was used as the secondary antibody.
