In the western blot shown, you mentioned using sTie2 to precipitate. do you have a protocol for that?
|
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
Thank you for your enquiry. The Tie2 precipitation experiment was performed by an outside collaborator, and we do not have any further information at hand regarding this. I have tried to email the collaborator to see if we can obtain this information, as several customers have enquired about this. I see that one of my colleagues attempted previously and we did not receive a reply, so I am not optimistic about getting further information. If I do obtain the information you requested, I will forward it along to you. |

How specific are these antibodies to mouse? How specific are they to 1 vs. 2 and vice versa? |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
Thank you for your enquiry. ab8451 is specific for mouse Angiopoietin 1. ab8452 cross-reacts with human (reacts with Ang-2 and weakly with Ang-1) and mouse (specific for mAng-2). There is little sequence homology between the two epitopes of 1 versus 2, therefore, I do not expect either antibody to cross react with the other form. For example, ab8451 is specific for mouse Angiopoietin 1 and should not cross react with mouse Angiopoietin 2. Here is the clustalW alignment of the 2 epitopes: mouseAng2 MWQIIFLTFGWDLVLAS--AYSNFRKSVDSTGRRQYQVQNGP mouseAng1 --MTVFLSFAFFAAILTHIGCSNQRRNPENGGRRYNRIQHGQ :**:*.: .: : . ** *:. :. *** ::*:* I hope this information helps, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information, |

On your website, there is a representative Western blot using the Ang2 ab (ab8452) performed by Marion Scharpfenecker. Do you have the protocol for this procedure? Why is there a band at 50KD? Is the antibody non-specific? Thank you. |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
All the information available for this product is listed on the on-line datasheet (price, datasheet, publication, suitability, cross-reactivity). Angiopoietin-2 is a naturally occurring antagonist of angiopoietin-1. Western blot analysis showed that ANG2 is expressed as a homodimeric 68 kDa protein that is reduced to around 50 kD, after deglycosylation. We would refer you to the extensive “Resources (Popular Protocols)” section on the Abcam website, you may find useful information there. |

Has this antibody been used for IHC on mouse paraffin sections? If so, at what concentration? What type of antigen retrieval is needed, if any? Please forward any pertinant protocol info. thnx. |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
This antibody has never been tested in IHC on mouse tissue sections, therefore we can't guarantee results. |

Does this antibody detect rat Ang-2 in western blotting? |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
We have not tested this antibody for reactivity towards the rat ang-2. We would be very interested to hear the results. |

ICC/IF image of ab8452 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab8452, 1/200 dilution) overnight at +4ºC. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
