Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077)

ICC/IF image of beta Tubulin staining in HeLa cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then incubated in 1% BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the primary antibody (ab6046, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab150077 Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at 2µg/ml for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

The negative control (inset) is a secondary-only assay to demonstrate low non-specific binding of the secondary antibody.

The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab7291, 1µg/ml) and (ab16048, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibodies were ab150115 Alexa Fluor® 647 (red) goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at 2µg/ml for 1h and ab150077 Alexa Fluor® 488 (green) goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at 2µg/ml for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab32356 (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 (ab32356, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1µg/1x10^6 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.

Cross-reactivity of the polyclonal secondary antibody ab182016 was tested using a sandwich ELISA approach. The wells were coated with the indicated IgG standards at 1 µg/ml (50 µl/well) and incubated overnight at 4°C, followed by a 5% BSA blocking step for 2h at RT. ab182016 was then added starting at 1 µg/ml and gradually diluted 1/4 (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 2h. For the detection Donkey anti-Goat IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6885) was used at 1/10,000 dilution (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 1h at RT.

For the batch tested, ab182016 showed a cross-reactivity of 5-7% towards Human IgG and below 2% towards Mouse IgG, Rat IgG and Chicken IgY.

This data was developed using the unconjugated antibody (ab182016).

Cross-reactivity of Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (ab182016) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L obtained from two different vendors was tested using a sandwich ELISA approach. The wells were coated with the indicated IgG standards (Rabbit, Human, Mouse and Rat) at 1 µg/ml (50 µl/well) and incubated overnight at 4°C, followed by a 5% BSA blocking step for 2h at RT. Secondary antibodies were then added starting at 1 µg/ml and gradually diluted 1/4 (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 2h. For the detection Donkey anti-Goat IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6885) was used at 1/10,000 dilution (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 1h at RT. This data is from a representative dilution.

This data was developed using the unconjugated antibody (ab182016).

IHC - Wholemount of Caenorhabditis elegans larvae labelling RNA polymerase II CTD repeat YSPTSPS (phospho S2) with ab5095. The sample was incubated with primary antibody (1/500 in PBS + 3% BSA + 0.1% Triton X-100) for 12 hours at 4°C. ab150077, an Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/1000), was used as the secondary antibody.
