All lanes : Anti-IL-18 antibody [EPR19954] (ab207324) at 1/200 dilution
Lane 1 : Wild-type HeLa cell lysate
Lane 2 : IL18 knockout HeLa cell lysate
Lane 3 : A431 cell lysate
Lane 4 : Jurkat cell lysate
Lysates/proteins at 20 µg per lane.
Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 22 kDa
Observed band size: 22 kDaLanes 1-4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab207324 observed at 22 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.
ab207324 Anti-IL-18 antibody [EPR19954] was shown to specifically react with IL-18 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265274 (knockout cell lysate ab256952) was used. Wild-type and IL-18 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab207324 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] - Microtubule Marker (ab52866) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 200 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.

ab207324 was shown to recognize IL-18 in wild-type HEK293 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in IL-18 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and IL-18 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab207324 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/200 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Negative control:
Jurkat cells serve as a negative cell line as described in PMID 15086390.
