Antibody information

Mouse monoclonal IgG1

Company: Proteintech

Antibody: IFITM2/3

Catalog number: 66081-1-Ig

Summary: Mouse monoclonal IgG1 against IFITM2/3 fusion protein. Reacts with human by western blot, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and ELISA.

Validation Method

Western blot

The antibody detects 2 isoforms of the protein, and the KO is only for 1 of them.

Sample

WT and IFITM3 KO HeLa cells. Whole cell lysis was performed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (Thermo Fisher) supplemented with Halt Protease Inhibitor mixture EDTA-free (Thermo Fisher).

Blocking agent

Odyssey blocking buffer in PBS (Li-Cor).

Secondary incubation

Secondary antibodies conjugated to DyLight 800 or 680 (Li-Cor).

Detection

Li-Cor Odyssey imaging system.
