Figure 1. Western blot analysis of HP1 Gamma using anti-HP1 Gamma antibody (M01142-1). 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 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions. Lane 1: human Hela whole cell lysates, Lane 2: human K562 whole cell lysates, Lane 3: human THP-1 whole cell lysates, Lane 4: human U-937 whole cell lysates, Lane 5: rat lung tissue lysates, Lane 6: rat PC-12 whole cell lysates, Lane 7: mouse lung tissue lysates, Lane 8: mouse NIH/3T3 whole cell lysates. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA 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 anti-HP1 Gamma antigen affinity purified monoclonal antibody (Catalog # M01142-1) at 1:500 overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for HP1 Gamma at approximately 21 kDa. The expected band size for HP1 Gamma is at 21 kDa.
