Western blot - Anti-Smad4 antibody [EP618Y] (ab40759)
Lane 1: Wild type HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 2: SMAD4 knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 3: HepG2 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 4: Jurkat whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab40759 observed at 60 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.
ab40759 was shown to specifically react with SMAD4 in wild type HAP1 cells. No band was observed when SMAD4 knockout HAP1 samples were used. Wild-type and SMAD4 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab40759 and ab9484 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
