This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free production
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

ab200834 staining Oct4 in F9 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab200834 at a 5μg/ml concentration and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin, at 1μg/ml concentration, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with an anti-rabbit AlexaFluor® 488 (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and an anti-mouse AlexaFluor® 594 (ab150120) at 2 μg/ml (shown in pseudocolor red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab200834).

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of F9 (mouse embryonal carcinoma) labelling Oct4 with purified ab200834 at 1/500. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody (Ab150077). Nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue).
Control: PBS only
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab200834).

Oct4 was immunoprecipitated from 1mg of F9 (Mouse embyro testicular cancer cell line) whole cell lysate with ab200834 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab200834 at 1/1000 dilution. Anti-Rabbit IgG (HRP), specific to the non-reduced form of IgG, was used as secondary antibody at 1/1500 dilution.
Lane 1: F9 whole cell lysate 10 µg (Input). Lane 2: ab200834 IP in F9 whole cell lysate. Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab200834 in F9 whole cell lysate.
Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.Exposure time: 5 seconds

Flow cytometric analysis of 2% paraformaldehyde-fixed F9 (Mouse embyro testicular cancer cell line) cells labeling Oct4 with ab200834 at 1/60 dilution (red) compared with a rabbit monoclonal IgG isotype control (ab172730; black) and an unlabelled control (cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody; blue). Goat anti rabbit IgG (FITC) at 1/150 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab200834).

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human cerebral cortex tissue labeling Oct4 with ab200834 at 1/500 dilution, followed Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution. Human cerebral cortex tissue is a negative control for Oct4. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.
Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab200834).

Nuclear and weakly cytoplasmic staining on Human spermatocytoma tissue is observed. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.
Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution.
