Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin embedded human bladder cancer with purified ab124824 at a working dilution of 1/500. The secondary antibody used is ab97051, a HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L), at a dilution of 1/500. The sample is counter-stained with hematoxylin. Antigen retrieval was perfomed using Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9.0. PBS was used instead of the primary antibody as the negative control, and is shown in the inset.

Immunofluorescence staining of Jurkat cells with purified ab124824 at a working dilution of 1 in 250, counter-stained with DAPI. Tubulin was stained with mouse anti-tubulin at a dilution of 1/1000 (ab7291) and Alexa Fluor^® 594 goat anti-mouse at a dilution of 1/500 (ab150120) . The secondary antibody was ab150077 Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti rabbit, used at a dilution of 1 in 500. The cells were fixed in 4% PFA and permeabilized using 0.1% Triton X 100. The negative controls are shown in the bottom middle and right hand panels - for the first negative control, purified ab124824 was used at a dilution of 1/200 followed by an Alexa Fluor^® 555 goat anti-mouse antibody at a dilution of 1/500 and for the second negative control mouse primary antibody (ab7291) and anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ab15007) were used.

Characterization of UMB-2 (ab124824) by immunofluorescent staining of transfected cells. HEK-293 cells expressing CCR7 or CXCR4 were either not exposed or exposed to 100 ng/ml MIP-3 or 100 ng/ml SDF-1 for 30 min, subsequently fixed and immunofluorescently stained with 1 µg/ml anti-CCR7 {1188} or anti-CXCR4 {UMB-2} at a dilution of 1:100. Note that UMB-2 detected prominent immunofluorescence at the level of the plasma membrane only in CXCR4- but not in CCR7-expressing cells, and that SDF-1 exposure induced a rapid translocation of CXCR4 receptor immunostaining from the plasma membrane into the cytosol. Representative results from one of three independent experiments are shown. Scale bar, 20 µm.
