Figure 2. Western blot analysis of MVP using MVP. Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS- PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions. Lane 1: rat spleen tissue lysates, Lane 2: rat lung tissue lysates, Lane 3: rat kidney tissue lysates, Lane 4: mouse spleen tissue lysates, Lane 5: mouse lung tissue lysates, Lane 6: mouse kidney tissue lysates. After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit MVP at 0.5ug/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for MVP at approximately 99KD. The expected band size for MVP is at 99kD.

Figure 3. Immunohistochemistry analysis of MVP using MVP. MVP was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human intestinal cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1ug/ml MVP Antibody overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin- Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.

Figure 4. Immunohistochemistry analysis of MVP using anti-MVP. MVP was detected in paraffin-embedded section of mouse small intestine tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1ug/ml MVP Antibody overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin- Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.
