Figure: Western blot analysis with anti-Apaf-1 (human) MAb (clone 2E12) revealing endogenous Apaf-1. Lysates from 106 HeLa, MCF-7, 293T, COS, Jurkat, and activated primary human T cells were probed with clone 2E12. COS (monkey) cells were used as a negative control.
Figures: Species cross-reactivity of MAb to Apaf-1 (clone 2E12) (
ALX-804-348) by Western blot.
A: Lysates from 1-day-old
mouse brain (lane 1), adult
mouse brain (lane 2) and SH-SY5Y
human neuroblastoma cell line (lane 3) were probed with clone 2E12.
B: Lysates from 2-days-old
rat brain (lane 1) and adult
rat brain (lane 2) were probed with clone 2E12.
Results: 2E12 is human specific and does not cross-react with mouse or rat Apaf-1.
