Rabbit monoclonal [EP700Y] to E Cadherin - Intercellular Junction Marker -
Host species
Rabbit -
Specificity
E-cadherin contains a number of cleavage sites which may yield a complex fragmentation pattern in WB. Multiple bands between ~80-120 kDa may be observed. This antibody has been tested on human samples in both WB and IHC. Customer feedback (see Abreview) suggests the antibody does not perform well in IHC on mouse tissue. -

PMA induced cell fusion, DYSF expression, and activation of PKC in BeWo cells while 4αPMA was inactive
Immunofluorescence analysis of BeWo cells treated with 0.25% DMSO (controls), 10 nM PMA, or 10 nM 4αPMA for 72 h. The cells were then fixed and subsequently double-labeled for detection of DYSF (red) and E-cadherin (green). Nuclei were labeled with DAPI. While there can be a low level of spontaneous fusion in control cells (in our hands this ranges from about 4 to 9%), most cells are not fused and have at their borders intact E-cadherin labeling. Moreover, DYSF labeling was not detectable in non-fused BeWo cells. However, treatment of BeWo cells with 10 nM PMA for 72 h led to increased levels of cell fusion as indicated by the breakdown of E-cadherin labeling and the expression of DYSF in fused cells. When BeWo cells were treated with 10 nM 4αPMA for 72 h there was no detectable increase in cell fusion or DYSF expression. Arrows indicate areas enlarged and placed in insets. Bar = 50 µm.

ab40772 staining E Cadherin in HT-29 (Human colorectal adenocarcinoma) cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody at 1/500 dilution. An Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat anti-Rabbit (ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab195889) at 1/200 dilution was used as a counterstain. DAPI was used as a nuclear counterstain. This is a confocal image showing membranous staining on HT-29 cell line.

The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab40772, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 minute at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 minutes at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1 μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabeled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.
