Anti-Rad51 antibody [EPR4030(3)] (ab133534)

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of Jurkat (human T cell leukemia cell line from peripheral blood) cells labelling Rad51 with purified ab133534 at 1/1000. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. DAPI (blue) was used as the nuclear counterstain. ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin (1/1000) and ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000) were also used.

Control 1: primary antibody (1/1000) and secondary antibody, ab150120, an Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1/1000).

Control 2: ab7291 (1/1000) and secondary antibody, ab150077, an Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000).

Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human cervix carcinoma tissue labelling Rad51 with purified ab133534 at 1/500. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, a HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500). Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labelling Rad51 with purified ab133534 at 1/350 (red). Cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. A FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG. Blue - Unlabelled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies.

ab133534 (purified) at 1/100 immunoprecipitating Rad51 in HEK-293 (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney) whole cell lysate.

Lane 1 (input): HEK-293 whole cell lysate (10µg)

Lane 2 (+): ab133534 + HEK-293 whole cell lysate.

Lane 3 (-): Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab133534 in HEK-293 whole cell lysate.

For western blotting, a HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG, specific to the non-reduced form of IgG was used as the secondary antibody (1/1500).

Blocking buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM /TBST.

Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human testis tissue labelling Rad51 with unpurified ab133534 at a dilution of 1/100.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells stained with unpurified ab133534 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 minutes) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 minutes. 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 (unpurified ab133534, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 minutes at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 minutes at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1 μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabeled 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.
