Our aim was to identify mechanisms underlying ATF2 subcellular localization since nuclear localization is associated with poor prognosis in melanoma.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Melanoma and SCC cell lines

Primary Incubation

1:100, overnight @ 4C

Blocking Agent

0.1% TX-100/0.1% BSA in PBS

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-rabbit Alexa-568, 1:10000, 1h RT

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Fluorescence Microscope

Results Summary

Nuclear, cytoplasmic or mitochondrial staining depending on cell line and culture condition. SCC cells in steady state show nuclear staining while after genotoxic stress, ATF2 staining is both mitochondrial and nuclear.
