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
Reproducibility is key to advancing scientific discovery and accelerating scientists’ next breakthrough.
Abcam is leading the way with our range of recombinant antibodies, knockout-validated antibodies and knockout cell lines, all of which support improved reproducibility.
We are also planning to innovate the way in which we present recommended applications and species on our product datasheets, so that only applications & species that have been tested in our own labs, our suppliers or by selected trusted collaborators are covered by our Abpromise™ guarantee.
In preparation for this, we have started to update the applications & species that this product is Abpromise guaranteed for.
We are also updating the applications & species that this product has been “predicted to work with,” however this information is not covered by our Abpromise guarantee.
Applications & species from publications and Abreviews that have not been tested in our own labs or in those of our suppliers are not covered by the Abpromise guarantee.
Please check that this product meets your needs before purchasing. If you have any questions, special requirements or concerns, please send us an inquiry and/or contact our Support team ahead of purchase.

Flow Cytometry analysis of MCF7 (human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling PTEN with purified ab228466 at 1/240 dilution (1.01 µg/ml) (red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077) secondary antibody was used at 1/2000 dilution. Isotype control - Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) / Black. Unlabeled control - Unlabelled cells / blue.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab228466).

Cancer cells from prostate adenocarcinoma (panel A) and colon adenocarcinoma (panel D) show total loss or diminished expression of PTEN when SP218 is used. In contrast, nuclear staining (panel B and C, arrows) in cancer cells is present for clones D4.3 and 138G6. Diffuse cytoplasmic and stromal staining are prominent for clones D4.3 and 138G6. But interestingly, the stromal cell components (fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and endothelial cells) are stained with similar intensities across all images. This suggests that there is non-specific staining in stromal and cancer area with clones D4.3 and 138G6 when compared with SP218.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA and sodium azide (ab228466).

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA and sodium azide (ab228466).
