ab185050 Anti-EHMT2/G9A antibody [EPR18894] was shown to specifically react with EHMT2/G9A in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265149 (knockout cell lysate ab257080) was used. Wild-type and EHMT2/G9A knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab185050 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 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.
