Lysates/proteins at 20 µg per lane.
Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 88 kDa
Observed band size: 92 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab68153 observed at 92 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.
ab68153 was shown to react with STAT3 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255436 (knockout cell lysate ab263797) was used. Wild-type HeLa and STAT3 knockout HeLa cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab68153 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. 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 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Ab68153 detected the expected band for STAT3 in wild-type cells along with additional cross-reactive bands. The band was not seen in STAT3 knockout HAP1 cells. Wild-type and STAT3 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab68153 and ab8245 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/500 dilution and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
