PAX6 antibody | knockout validation | Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank PAX6

This is a knockout-validated antibody summary, based on the publication "Generation of a PAX6 knockout glioblastoma cell line with changes in cell cycle distribution and sensitivity to oxidative stress", as cited below [1]. Labome curates formal publications to compile a list of antibodies with unambiguous specificity within Validated Antibody Database (VAD).

Figure 1. (a) Western blot on cell lysates originating from single cell clones after CRISPR-Cas9 treatment. PAX6 Control cells have undergone CRISPR-Cas9 treatment and single cell sorting but still express PAX6. Detection by anti-PAX6 antibody. Actin staining was used for loading control. KO, knock out; WT, wild type U251 N; L, Molecular weight marker. (b) Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on WT U251 N and pooled PAX6 KO cell lines (2A.3, 2A.28 and 2.10). Anti-PAX6 antibody detect endogenous PAX6 protein, DAPI staining identifies the nucleus. Scale bars indicate 10 μm. From [1].
