ICC/IF image of ab7291 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then incubated in 1% BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab7291, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (orange) was ab150116 Alexa Fluor^® 594 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at 2µg/ml for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

The negative control (inset) is a secondary-only assay to demonstrate low non-specific binding of the secondary antibody.

Overlay histogram showing Jurkat cells stained with ab8090 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab8090, 0.01μg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody Goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 594) (ab150116) was used at 1/4000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2a [ICIGG2A] (ab91361, 0.01μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 561nm laser and 610/20 bandpass filter.

Cross-reactivity of the polyclonal secondary antibody ab182017 was tested using a sandwich ELISA approach. The wells were coated with the indicated IgG standards at 1 µg/ml (50µl/well) and incubated overnight at 4°C, followed by a 5% BSA blocking step for 2h at RT. ab182017 was then added starting at 1 µg/ml and gradually diluted 1/4 (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 2h. For the detection Donkey anti-Goat IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6885) was used at 1/10,000 dilution (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 1h at RT.

Fot the batch tested, ab182017 showed a cross-reactivity below 2% towards Chicken IgY, 6% towards Human IgG, 7% towards Rabbit IgG and 47% towards Rat IgG.

This data was developed using the unconjugated antibody (ab182017).

Cross-reactivity of Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (ab182017) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L obtained from two different vendors was tested using a sandwich ELISA approach. The wells were coated with the indicated IgG standards (Rabbit, Human, Mouse and Rat) at 1 µg/ml (50µl/well) and incubated overnight at 4°C, followed by a 5% BSA blocking step for 2h at RT. Secondary antibodies were then added starting at 1 µg/ml and gradually diluted 1/4 (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 2h. For the detection Donkey anti-Goat IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6885) was used at 1/10,000 dilution (50 µl/well), followed by incubation for 1h at RT. This data is from a representative dilution.
