Q: I have problems performing IF on HeLa cells with this antibody (NB100-116). I have a very weird pattern of staining. Is there a special protocol I need to follow?

A: Please see the following link for our product specific protocol for NB100-116.

Q: Today I have a customer who is having some difficulty with NB100-116 in his IP experiments. I have sent him a link to a journal that references use of the antibody in IP, but he has now asked if the antibody recognizes the reduced form of APE1 and not the oxidized form. Do you have any information available?

A: It seems that in Western blot, Novus as well as our customers use reducing conditions, as is standard. I have also looked at our publications using this antibody in IP and nothing suggests that it needs to be used in reducing conditions for IP. It would seem that it recognizes both forms and should work in IP in most standard IP protocols.

Western Blot: APE Antibody (13B8E5C2) - BSA Free [NB100-116] -

Western Blot: APE Antibody (13B8E5C2) - BSA Free [NB100-116] - XPF is epistatic to APE in the gemcitabine resistance. The expression of XPF and/or APE was suppressed by siRNAs in HeLa cells & the cellular sensitivity to gemcitabine was examined. XPF- or APE-suppressed HeLa cells (closed square & closed triangle, respectively) showed sensitivity to gemcitabine. Cosuppression of XPF & APE (closed circle with dashed line) resulted in the sensitivity to gemcitabine similar to the sensitivity induced by the suppression of XPF or APE individually. A control siRNA (siControl) was used as a control (open diamond). Three independent experiments were performed & averages of surviving fraction are plotted. The error bars show standard deviations. The differences in the gemcitabine sensitivity between the control cells & the cells treated with siXPF, siAPE, or siXPF+siAPE are statistically significant at 10 nM & 50 nM with p<0.05. The western blots showed a significant suppression of XPF (more than 95%) & ~75% reduction in the expression of APE with the siRNA treatment. The cosuppression experiments with two siRNAs, siXPF & siAPE, resulted in similar levels of suppression of each protein induced by individual siRNA (more than 95% reduction in XPF & ~85% reduction in APE). Tubulin was used as a protein loading control. Image collected & cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30941207), licensed under a CC-BY license.

Western Blot: APE Antibody (13B8E5C2) - BSA Free [NB100-116] - Gemcitabine-induced recruitment of XPF to chromatin depends on APE. HCT116, APE-suppressed HCT116 (HCT116 shAPE), & XPF-deficient HCT116 (HCT116 g4-10) cells were treated with 1 μM of gemcitabine & chromatin fractions were isolated in the indicated time. The presence of XPF & APE was detected by western blots. The asterisk (∗) shows a cross-reacted protein with the anti-XPF antibody. Histone H2AX was used as a loading control. Gemcitabine-induced recruitment of XPF to chromatin (lanes 1-3) was compromised in HCT116 shAPE cell line (lanes 4-5). The chromatin-bound APE is not changed by the gemcitabine treatment (lanes 4-6, Supplementary Figure 5). A signal of XPF (and APE) was normalized with a signal of H2AX in each chromatin fraction using ImageJ software. Then a ratio of chromatin-bound XPF with gemcitabine to XPF in control was determined & depicted as bar graphs. Three independent experiments were performed & averages of the ratio at indicated time points were plotted. The error bars show standard deviations. Only the difference in the chromatin-bound XPF between chromatin from control experiments & chromatin that was incubated one hour with 1 μM gemcitabine is statistically significant in HCT116 (p<0.05).

Application Notes

In Western blot, this antibody detects a single band at 37 kDa. In IHC, it can be competitively inhibited from recognizing the APE1 antigen in tissues using APE1 protein. It can also be used on frozen and fixed-paraffin sections and cytospin preps. In IHC-P, staining was observed in the nucleus of a human breast cancer xenograft. Prior to immunostaining paraffin tissues, antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended. In Simple Western only 10 - 15 uL of the recommended dilution is used per data point.

Background: APE

The mammalian apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE/ref-1) is responsible for the repair of AP sites in DNA. In addition, this enzyme functions as a redox factor facilitating the DNA binding capability of FOS, JUN, NfkB, HIF-1 alpha, Pax-5, Pax-8 and other transcription factors. APE/ref-1 has also been shown to control p53 activity through redox alteration. APE is linked to apoptosis, associated with thioredoxin, and altered levels of APE/ref-1 have been found in some cancers. APE appears to form a unique link between the DNA base excision pathway, oxidative signaling, transcription regulation, cancer and cell-cycle control.

Protocols

View specific protocols for APE Antibody (13B8E5C2) - BSA Free (NB100-116):

Western Blot
1. Gels, Whatman paper, and membranes are soaked in electroblotting buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl; 193 mM glycine; 20% methanol) for 15 minutes prior to transferring
2. Proteins separated on SDS-polyacrylamide gels are transferred onto 0.22 micron nitrocellulose sheets by electroblotting in a Transblot BioRad transfer apparatus in 25 mM Tris, 192 mM Glycine, 20% Methanol at 150 mA (70 V). The transfer is carried out for 1 hour at 4 degrees C.
3. Following protein transfer, the filter is blocked with Blotto [1X TBST (10X TBST = 1.5 M NaCl; 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0; 0.5% Tween 20; 2% NP-40; 0.2% SDS); 5% Carnation dried milk; 0.02% sodium azide] for 1 hour at room temperature on a rotator.
4. Dilute NB 100-116 (anti-APE/ref-1) in Blotto and incubate with the filter, at 4 degrees C overnight, on a rotator.
5. Wash filter 3 times in 1X TBST (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20, pH 7.5) for 10 minutes at 4 degrees C. Secondary antibody (peroxidase conjugated anti-mouse) is incubated with the blot for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cross-reacting proteins are detected using the Chemiluminescence Western Blotting Kit from Boehringer-Mannheim.
NOTE:
HeLa whole cell extracts (NB800-PC1) were used as a positive control for this antibody.
Immunohistochemistry/Immunocytochemistry
The description that follows is for cultured cells but can be used for cytospins.
1. Split cells into 3.5 cm culture dishes for growth.
2. Wash cells with 5 ml PBS.
3. Fix cells with approx. 3 ml Histochoice (Amresco) for 30 min (Cryostat tissues for 45 min) or use 10% formalin for 30 minutes.
4. Rinse cells with 5 ml TBS, wipe plate dry leaving a small circle of buffer and cells. Mark with red pencil.
5. Pre-block the cells for 30 min. with 10% goat serum in TBS (200 ul).
6. Aspirate blocking solution and add NB 100-116 (anti-APE/ref-1), dilution in 10% goat serum.
7. Incubate in humidified chamber for 3 hours (overnight for tissue at 4 degrees C).
8. Incubate the cells with 1:100 diluted secondary antibody (anti-mouse IgG made in goat) in 10% goat serum and TBS for 1 hour in humidified chamber.
9. Wash 2 times with 5 ml TBS for 5 min each.
10. Block with ABC solution for 30 min.
11. Wash 2 times with 5 ml TBS for 5 min each.
12. Incubate with DAB solution until signal develops. Place into dH2O. Add coverslip with Aqua-mount. TBS: 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, ABC and DAB solutions: Vector laboratories

FAQs for APE Antibody (13B8E5C2) - BSA Free

Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQs Showing All

Q: I have problems performing IF on HeLa cells with this antibody (NB100-116). I have a very weird pattern of staining. Is there a special protocol I need to follow?

A:
Please see the following link for our product specific protocol for NB100-116.
Q: Today I have a customer who is having some difficulty with NB100-116 in his IP experiments. I have sent him a link to a journal that references use of the antibody in IP, but he has now asked if the antibody recognizes the reduced form of APE1 and not the oxidized form. Do you have any information available?

A: It seems that in Western blot, Novus as well as our customers use reducing conditions, as is standard. I have also looked at our publications using this antibody in IP and nothing suggests that it needs to be used in reducing conditions for IP. It would seem that it recognizes both forms and should work in IP in most standard IP protocols.
