Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150081)

ICC/IF image of ab8227 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 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 (ab8227, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab150081 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.

Overlay histogram showing Jurkat cells stained with ab16669 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 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 ab16669, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody Goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488, pre-adsorbed) (ab150081) was used at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monclonal) (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.

ab92742 staining Ki67 in wild-type HAP1 cells (top panel) and Ki67 knockout HAP1 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab92742 at 1µg/ml and ab195889 at 1/250 dilution (shown in pseudo colour red) overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) (ab150081) at 2 µg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labeled in blue with DAPI.

Unpurified ab134175 staining Cyclin D1 in MCF7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma cell line) cells treated with KN-93 (ab120980).
The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min) and then blocked in 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab134175 at 10µg/ml and ab7291 at 1µg/ml overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with an Goat anti-Rabbit Alexa 488 secondary (ab150081) at 2 µg/ml (shown in green) and Goat anti-Mouse Alexa 594 secondary (ab150120) at 2 µg/ml (shown in pseudo color red). Nuclear DNA was labeled in blue with DAPI.
Negative controls: 1- Rabbit primary and anti-mouse secondary antibody; 2 - Mouse primary antibody and anti-rabbit secondary antibody. Controls 1 and 2 indicate that there is no unspecific reaction between primary and secondary antibodies used.

Postnatal day 6 mouse testes were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Tissue was embedded in O.C.T. and frozen. 5 micron sections were cut and transferred to slides. Sections were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, and blocked with 3% BSA in 0.1% Triton X-100 + PBS. Sections were incubated with either (A) no primary antibody or (B ) anti-DDX4 (ab13840) for 1 h at RT. Sections were then washed 3X with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS and Goat-Anti Rabbit 488 (ab150081) applied at a 1/500 dilution. Sections were then mounted after washing 3X with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS.
