Western blot - Anti-MBD2 antibody [EPR18361] (ab188474)

Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 2: MBD2 knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 3: A375 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 4: Human brain tissue lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab188474 observed at 32 & 49 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.
ab188474 was shown to specifically react with MBD2 when MBD2 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and MBD2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab188474 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted 1/1000 and 1/10000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. 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 1/10000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.
