Company:

Abcam

Product Name:

Anti-HSF1 antibody [10H8]

Catalog Number:

ab61382

Clone Number:

N/A

Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is the main transcription factor mediating cellular responses under cytosolic stress conditions. Activation of HSF1 by post-translational modifications indicates a disturbance in protein homeostasis inside cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western blot

Sample

Neuro2a cells

Primary Incubation

1:1000 in 1% BSA, Overnight at 4°C

Blocking Agent

5% BSA in Tris-buffered Saline Tween-20

Secondary Incubation

1:5000 HRP-conjugated anti-Rat IgG, 1 hour at RT

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

ECL detection in documentation system (Vilber Lourmat)

Results Summary

HSF1 was activated at 8 hour of proteasome inhibition by MG132 treatment as observed in the gel by an upshifted phosphorylated protein band suggesting the loss protein homeostasis due to the proteotoxic stress.

Summary

The Good

Antibody detects the band shift of phosphorylated HSF1.

The Bad

Faint signal, and gives background spots.

The Bottom Line

Only purchase this antibody if there are no better options available that fit the experimental needs.
