Figure 1. IHC analysis of Connexin 43/GJA1 using anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody (PA1026-1).
Connexin 43/GJA1 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human lung cancer tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 Antibody (PA1026-1) 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 4. Western blot analysis of Connexin 43/GJA1 using anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody (PA1026-1).
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: human placenta tissue lysates,
Lane 2: rat brain tissue lysates,
Lane 3: rat hear tissue lysates,
Lane 4: mouse brain tissue lysates,
Lane 5: mouse heart tissue 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-Connexin 43/GJA1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PA1026-1) at 0.5 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 1:10000 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 Connexin 43/GJA1 at approximately 43KD. The expected band size for Connexin 43/GJA1 is at 43KD.
