Immunofluorescence staining of Actinin/ACTN1 using ab68194 in ioSkeletal Myocytes - Human iPSC-Derived Skeletal Myocytes (ab277612), which were differentiated for 3 (left panel), 5 (middle panel) and 10 days (right panel) post induction.
The cells were fixed with 100% MeOH (5 min) 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 overnight at +4°C with ab68194 at 0.5 µg/mL and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown. Gamma is adjusted to 1.5 in all channels.

Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 103 kDa

ab68194 was shown to react with alpha Actinin/ACTN1 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265610 (knockout cell lysate ab257337) was used. Wild-type HeLa and ACTN1 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. ab68194 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 2000 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.

The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 mins and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h.

ab68194 was shown to specifically react with alpha Actinin/ACTN1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in alpha Actinin/ACTN1 knockout cells. Wild-type and alpha Actinin/ACTN1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab68194 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/2000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 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.
