This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS and sodium azide (ab1101)

ab1101 staining p53 - ChIP Grade in A431 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-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 ab1101 at 5µg/ml and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150117, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

ab1101 staining p53 in wild-type Hap1 cells (top panel) and p53 knockout Hap1 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 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 with ab1101 at 1µg/ml concentration and ab6046 (Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin) at 1/1000 dilution overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150117) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150080) at 2 μg/ml (shown in pseudo color red).  Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Image was taken with a high-content analysis system (Perkin Elmer, Operetta CLS™).

IHC image of ab1101 staining p53 in human colon adenocarcinoma formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections*, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 minutes. The section was then incubated with ab1101, 1/500 dilution, for 15 minutes 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. High magnification of the tumor region - T (lower right panel) and adjacent normal crypts - N (lower left panel) are shown.
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.

This image was produced using the same antibody clone but in a different formulation; PBS and sodium azide (ab1101).

Chromatin was prepared from HEK-293 (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney) cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 2 µg of ab1101, and 10 ml of protein A sepharose beads,10 ml of protein G sepharose beads. No IgG was added to the beads control. The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR. Primers were as follows:

Overlay histogram showing HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells stained with ab1101 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 minutes. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab1101, 1/50 dilution) for 30 minutes at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was a goat anti-mouse DyLight^® 488 (IgG; H+L) ab96879 at 1/500 dilution for 30 minutes at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2a [ICIGG2A] ab91361, 1 µg/1 x 10⁶ cells, used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 minutes)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 minutes used under the same conditions.
