Predicted band size: 74 kDa
Observed band size: 70-75 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?


Exposure time: 4 minutes

ab193904 was shown to react with Anti-Lamin A + C antibody [EPR4100] - Nuclear Envelope Marker (HRP) in wild-type HAP1 cells in Western blot. Loss of signal was observed when LMNA knockout sample was used. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-T (0.1% Tween^®) before incubation with ab193904 overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 5000 dilution and ab184095 (Mouse Anti-GAPDH antibody [mAbcam 9484] - Alexa Fluor^® 680) at a 1 in 1000 dilution. Blots were developed with Optiblot ECL reagent (ab133456) and imaged.

IHC image of Lamin A + C staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human colon*, performed on a Leica BOND™. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab193904, 1/100 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

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 blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 3% milk before being incubated with ab193904 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.
