The purpose of this experiment was to identify an antibody that was suitable for detection of CTCF in human cells by indirect immunofluorescence.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Human 293T cells

Primary Incubation

1:100 at room temperature for 60 minutes. Staining was performed in 1 x PBS and 0.1% Tween 20

Blocking Agent

Slide was pre blocked with 3% BSA in 1 x PBS and 0.1% Tween 20

Secondary Incubation

1:100 dilution of Cy5 Goat anti-mouse secondary diluted in 1 x PBS and 0.1% Tween-20 for 60 minutes at room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

No tertiary incubation was performed

Detection

Direct labeled goat anti-mouse antibodies

Results Summary

The antibody stains well and detects a nuclear protein. Background is slightly high and sometimes 1:50 dilution is better than 1:100 depending on the cell type.

Additional Notes

Cells were grown directly on slides and washed briefly with 1 x PBS before fixing and extracting for 10 minutes at room temperature in 4% formaldehyde, 1 x PBS and 0.1% Triton-X100
