Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Functional Studies - Tranylcypromine hydrochloride (2-PCPA), Irreversible monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (ab120606)
MCF7 cells were incubated at 37°C for 24h with vehicle control (0 µM) and different concentrations of tranylcypromine hydrochloride (ab120606). Increased expression of Histone 3 K4 di-methyl (ab7766) in MCF7 cells correlates with an increase in tranylcypromine hydrochloride concentration, as described in literature.
Nuclear extracts were prepared with RIPA buffer (containing protease inhibitors and sodium orthovanadate), 10 µg of each were loaded on the gel and the WB was run under reducing conditions. After transfer the membrane was blocked for an hour using 5% BSA before being incubated with ab7766 at 1 µg/ml and ab1791 at 1 µg/ml overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP (ab97051) at 1/10000 dilution and visualised using ECL development solution.
