Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 2: CBX1 knockout HAP1 cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 3: MCF7 cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 4: A431 cell lysate (40 µg)
Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab10811 observed at 26 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602, observed at 37 kDa.ab10811 was shown to specifically react with CBX1 / HP1 beta when CBX1 / HP1 beta knockout samples were used. Wild-type and CBX1 / HP1 beta knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab10811 and ab181602 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted at 1/500 and 1/10000 dilution respectively and incubated overnight at 4C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rat IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) (ab253031) preadsorbed and Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777)secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

HeLA cells were stained with ab10811 in panel one. In panel two they were stained with ab10811 (green), DAPI (blue) and SH-CREST (red), which stains the centromeres. Fix 30 minutes on ice in 4% formaldehyde in PEM. Quench autofluorescence 2 x 5 minutes with 1 mg/ml Na borohydride or 100 mM ammonium chloride in PEM. Permeablize 30 minutes with 0.5% TX-100 in PEM. Block 30 minutes in 5% milk in TBST. Primary antibody incubated overnight at 4oC diluted 1/100 in 5% milk in TBST. Secondary antibody incubated 1 hour at RT diluted in 5% milk in TBST. Post-fix 20 minutes on ice in 4% formaldehyde in PEM. Quench autofluorescence 2 x 5 minutes with ammonium chloride in PEM. Counterstain with DAPI in TBST. Mount with ProLong Gold antifade reagent from Invitrogen. Notes: Ample washing between each step. TBST = Tris buffered saline + 0.1% Tween. PEM = 80 mM K-PIPES, pH 6.8, 5 mM EGTA, 2 mM MgCl2.

Immunofluorescence analysis of mouse erythroleukemia cell nuclei, staining CBX1 / HP1 beta in heterochromatin, with ab10811.
Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized using Triton X-100 and blocked for 30 min with 2.5% BSA. Cells were incubated with primary antibody (1/50) before incubating with a Cy3-conjugated goat anti-rat IgG to detect staining.
