Antibody information

Rabbit monoclonal IgG

Company: Abcam

Antibody: UFM1

Catalog number: ab109305

Summary: Rabbit monoclonal IgG against a synthetic peptide, corresponding to residues from C terminal of human UFM1. Reacts with human, mouse and rat. Suitable for western blot, immunoprecipitation and immunohistochemistry (paraffin). Unsuitable for immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry.

Validation Method

Western blot

Sample

Control and UFM1-KO H4 neuroglioma cell line (stably expressing Cas9 and GFP-SQSTM1). Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) followed by sonication. Alternatively, protein lysates were prepared in RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors and 1% SDS followed by purification with QIAshredder columns (Qiagen).

Blocking agent

Odyssey blocking buffer for 1 hr or PBS/0.1% Tween-20/5% milk.

Primary incubation

Diluted in Odyssey blocking buffer supplemented with 0.1% Tween-20 (Bio-Rad) or in PBS/0.1% Tween-20/5% milk overnight at 4°C.

Secondary incubation

Anti-rabbit IRDye 800CW (LI-COR) diluted in Odyssey blocking buffer supplemented with 0.1% Tween-20 or anti-rabbit HRP (Thermo Fisher Scientific) diluted in PBS/0.1% Tween-20/5% milk incubated for 1 hr at room temperature.

Detection

Odyssey infrared imaging system or SuperSignal West Pico chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Scientific) and autoradiography.
