WB
Western blot analysis of HMGCS2 on different lysates with Rabbit anti-HMGCS2 antibody at 1/2,000 dilution.
Lane 1: Caco-2 cell lysate (20 µg/Lane),
Lane 2: HCT 116 cell lysate (negative) (20 µg/Lane),
Lane 3: Mouse kidney tissue lysate (40 µg/Lane),
Lane 4: Rat kidney tissue lysate (40 µg/Lane),
Exposure time: 3 minutes;
4-20% SDS-PAGE gel.
Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody at 1/2,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
IHC
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue using anti-HMGCS2 antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 8.0-8.4) for 20 minutes.The tissues were blocked in 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (1/50) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
ICC/IF
Immunocytochemistry analysis of Caco-2 (positive) and HCT 116 (negative) labeling HMGCS2 with Rabbit anti-HMGCS2 antibody at 1/100 dilution.
Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with 1% BSA in 10% negative goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Rabbit anti-HMGCS2 antibody at 1/100 dilution in 1% BSA in PBST overnight at 4 ℃. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. Counterstained with Mitotracker. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
