Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human prostate carcinoma tissue labelling KAP1 with ab10483 at 1/1000 (1μg/ml). Detection: DAB.

Detection of Human KAP1 by Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation.

Samples: A. Whole cell lysate (50 ug for E, 10 ug for T) from normal 293T cells (E) or 293T cells transiently transfected with a human KAP1 construct (T). B. Whole cell lysate (0.5 mg) from normal 293T cells. Antibodies: ab10483 used at the indicated concentration for WB (A) or 2 ug/0.5 mg lysate for IP (B). Immunoprecipitated KAP1 was detected using a KAP1 antibody from another source. Detection: Chemiluminescence with a 1 minute exposure. Detection of Human KAP1 by Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Samples: A. Whole cell lysate (50 ug for E, 10 ug for T) from normal 293T cells (E) or 293T cells transiently transfected with a human KAP1 construct (T). B.

The ab10483 antibody was used to immunoprecipitate KAP1 from HEK293 nuclear extracts. Three different amounts of ab10483 or control IgG were tested (1, 2 or 4 ug). The eluates from these experiments as well as the supernatants from the KAP1 IPs were analyzed by Western blotting using the ab10483 antibody. As shown by Western blotting, the presence of a ~110 kDa band demonstrated that KAP1 was specifically precipitated from these extracts. The 50 and 25 kDa bands correspond to the IgG of the IP antibodies.

IHC image of KAP1 staining in human liver carcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond^TM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab10483, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
