General notes
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Predicted band size: 77 kDa
Observed band size: 77 kDaLanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab2386 observed at 77 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602, observed at 37 kDa.
ab2386 was shown to recognize in wild-type A549 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in TGM2 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and TGM2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The membrane was blocked with 3% Milk. Ab2386 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 ug/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216772 and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216777 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Transglutaminase 2 antibody [CUB 7402] (ab2386)
Immunohistochemical analysis of breast carcinoma tissue labeling Transglutaminase 2 with ab2386. Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/50) for 30 minutes at 22°C.

Overlay histogram showing HCT116 cells stained with ab2386 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab2386, 1/10 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a decreased signal in HCT116 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) used under the same conditions.

Immunohistochemical analysis of (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections) rat lung tissue labeling Transglutaminase 2 with ab2386. Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% casein in PBS for 15 minutes at room temperature; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer, pH 6. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200 in TBS + BSA) for 20 minutes. ab98782 was used as the secondary antibody at a dilution of 1/400.
