BCMA was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of U266B1 (human multiple myeloma B lymphocyte cell line) whole cell lysate with ab253242 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab253242 at 1/500 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.
Lane 1: U266B1 whole cell lysate 10 μg (Input).
Lane 2: ab253242 IP in U266B1 whole cell lysate.
Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab253242 in U266B1 whole cell lysate.Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.
Exposure time: 10 seconds. -

Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077), at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.
Gated on viable cells.

Predicted band size: 20, 14 kDa
Observed band size: 19 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?
Exposure time: 3 minutesBlocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.
BCMA is a glycoprotein.
The molecular weight observed is consistent with what has been described in the literature (PMID: 23776238, 10908663,
8527407)Negative control: HEK-293T (PMID: 18025285).

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized U288B1 (human multiple myeloma B lymphocyte cell line) or HEK-293T (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney transformed with large T antigen) cells labeling BCMA with ab253242 at 1/50 dilution, followed by a Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution (green).
Confocal image showing cytoplasmic and weak membranous staining in U266B1 cell line (PMID: 8527407) is observed.
Negative control: HEK-293T cells(PMID: 18025285).
The nuclear conter stain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab195889) at 1/200 dilution (red).Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.
