Application
Immunofluorescence analysis of JNK1/2 [pT183/pT185] was done on 70% confluent log phase A549 cells treated with Anisomycin (25 μg/mL for 30 min). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton? X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with JNK1/2 [pT183/pT185] Rabbit polyclonal Antibody at 2 μg/mL in 1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Alexa Flour 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFadeR Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI. F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor 594 Phalloidin. Panel d is a merged image showing translocation of JNK1/2 [pT183/pT185] to the nucleus upon Anisomycin treatment. Panel e is untreated cells showing cytoplasmic localization. Panel f shows no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 20X magnification.
Application
Western blot analysis of JNK1 + JNK2 [pT183 + pT185] was performed by loading 20 µg of HEK-293 (lane1), HEK-293 treated for 5 minutes with 200 mM of Anisomycin (lane2), HEK-293 treated for 20 minutes with UV (lane3), MCF7 (lane4), MCF7 treated for 5 minutes with 200 mM of Anisomycin (lane5), K562 (lane6), K562 treated for 20 minutes with UV (lane7), HeLa (lane8) and HeLa treated for 20 minutes with UV (lane9) cell lysate using Novex® NuPAGE® 4-12 % Bis-Tris gel, XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System, Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard , and iBlot® Dry Blotting System. Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and blocked with 5% skim milk for 1 hour at room temperature. JNK1 + JNK2 [pT183 + pT185] was detected at ~ 46 and 55 kDa using JNK1 + JNK2 [pT183 + pT185] Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody at 1:1000 dilution in 5% skim milk at 4°C overnight on a rocking platform. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody at 1:5000 dilution was used and chemiluminescent detection was performed using Novex® ECL Chemiluminescent Substrate Reagent.
