Anti-TMPRSS2 抗体 [EPR3862] (ab109131)

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-TMPRSS2 antibody [EPR3862] staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red.

In Western blot, ab109131 was shown to bind specifically to TMPRSS2. A band was observed at 55, 25 kDa in wild-type LNCaP and at 25 kDa in Caco-2 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TMPRSS2 knockout LNCaP cell line ab273745 (knockout LNCaP cell lysate ab275499) and TMPRSS2 knockout Caco-2 cell line ab273737 (knockout Caco-2 cell lysate ab277340).

To generate this image, wild-type and TMPRSS2 knockout cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween^® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

ab109131 staining TMPRSS2 in Human prostate adenocarcinoma tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed and paraffin-embedded, antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in Tris/EDTA buffer pH9. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/1000). An undiluted HRP-conjugated mouse anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Tissue counterstained with Hematoxylin. PBS was used in the negative control rather than the Primary antibody.

Blocking buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST
Diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM /TBST

54kDa represents full-length TMPRSS2 and 25kDa is the cleaved form. The molecular weights observed are consistent with what have been described in the literature (PMID: 11245484).

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human prostatic adenocarcinoma using ab109131, unpurified, at a dilution of 1/500.

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
