MSH6 antibody | knockout validation | BD 610918 figure 1
Figure 1. Equivalent amounts of total protein from brain, testes and ovary and nuclear extracts from liver of three 6-month old WT, Msh3-/- and Msh6-/- and Msh2-/- mice were subjected to electrophoresis and western blotting using the MSH2, MSH3 and MSH6 antibodies, from figure 4 [1].
Antibody information

Company: BD

Antibody: MSH6

Catalog number: 610918

Summary: Mouse monoclonal IgG1 raised against human MSH6 aa. 225-333. Reactivity: Human (QC Testing) Mouse, Rat, Dog (Tested in Development). Application: Western blot (Routinely Tested), Immunofluorescence (Tested During Development)

Validation Method

Western blot

Sample

Flash frozen brain, liver, testes and ovary of 6-month old mice, homogenized using a tissue homogenizer (Precellys 24, Bertin Technologies, Berlin, Germany) with T-PER protein extraction reagent (Pierce Biotechnology, Inc, Rockford, IL) supplemented with complete, Mini, EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN).

Nuclear extracts of liver proteins: NE-PER Nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction reagents (Pierce Biotechnology, Inc, Rockford, IL).

The protein concentrations were determined using a Bio-Rad protein assay kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Proteins were heated for 10 minutes at 70°C in LDS-Sample Buffer (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), resolved by electrophoresis on either 3–8% NuPAGE Novex Tris-Acetate gels (Life Technologies) or 4–12% NuPAGE Novex Tris-Bis gels (Life Technologies) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using the iBlot transfer apparatus (Life Technologies).

Blocking agent

Membranes were blocked for one hour at room temperature in 5% ECL Prime blocking agent (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences) in TBST

Primary incubation

Incubated overnight at 4°C at 1:10000 dilution.

Secondary incubation

anti-mouse IgG, NA931V GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, at a dilution of 1:5000.

Detection

ECL Prime detection reagent (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences), Fluorchem M imaging system (Proteinsimple, Santa Clara, CA).
