Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 2: MEK3 knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 3: HeLa cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 4: Jurkat cell lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab195037 observed at 40 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.
ab195037 was shown to specifically react with MEK3 when MEK3 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and MEK3 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab195037 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were both diluted to 1/5000 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 hour at room temperature before imaging. -
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-MEK3 antibody [EPR17345-104] (ab195037)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human skeletal muscle tissue labeling MEK3 with ab195037 at 1/500 dilution followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) secondary at 1/500 dilution. Cytoplasmic and nucleus staining on Human skeletal muscle is observed. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.
Negative control: Using PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution.

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized NIH/3T3 (Mouse embyro fibroblast cells) cells labeling MEK3 with ab195037 at 1/250 dilution, followed by Goat anti-rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/500 dilution (green). Confocal image showing both nuclear and cytoplasmic staining on NIH/3T3 cell line. The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/1000 dilution and ab150120 (AlexaFluor®594 Goat anti-Mouse secondary) at 1/500 dilution (red).
The negative controls are as follows:
-ve control 1: ab195037 at 1/250 dilution followed by ab150120 (AlexaFluor®594 Goat anti-Mouse secondary) at 1/500 dilution.
-ve control 2: ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/1000 dilution followed by ab150077 (Alexa Fluor®488 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L) at 1/500 dilution. -

Predicted band size: 39 kDa
Observed band size: 34,39 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?Blocking/Dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.
Based on the sequence analysis, ab195037 recognizes 3 isoforms of MEK3 ranging from 36kDa to 40KDa. The multi-bands should be MEK3 isoforms.

Flow Cytometry analysis of NIH/3T3 (mouse embryo) labelling MEK3 with purified ab195037 at 1/1000 (red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/2000) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG. Blue - Unlabelled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies.
