Anti-Afm Antibody Picoband®

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Afm using anti-Afm antibody (A00275-3).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: rat heart tissue lysates,
Lane 2: rat liver tissue lysates,
Lane 3: rat kidney tissue lysates,
Lane 4: rat spleen tissue lysates,
Lane 5: mouse spleen tissue lysates,
Lane 6: mouse thymus tissue lysates,
Lane 7: mouse ANA-1 whole cell lysates.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Afm antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A00275-3) at 0.25 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Afm at approximately 87KD. The expected band size for Afm is at 87KD.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of Afm using anti-Afm antibody (A00275-3).
Afm was detected in paraffin-embedded section of rat liver tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2μg/ml rabbit anti-Afm Antibody (A00275-3) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) (Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Figure 3. Flow Cytometry analysis of HEPA1-6 cells using anti-Afm antibody (A00275-3).
Overlay histogram showing HEPA1-6 cells stained with A00275-3 (Blue line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-Afm Antibody (A00275-3, 1μg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10μg/1x10⁶ cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1μg/1x10⁶) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.

Figure 4. Flow Cytometry analysis of mouse spleens tissues using anti-Afm antibody (A00275-3).
Overlay histogram showing mouse spleen tissues stained with A00275-3 (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The tissues were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-Afm Antibody (A00275-3, 1μg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10μg/1x10⁶ cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1μg/1x10⁶) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.
