GBF1 Antibody / Golgi-specific brefeldin A-resistance factor 1 (FY13072)

Immunohistochemical staining of GBF1 using anti-GBF1 antibody. GBF1 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human prostate cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 ug/ml rabbit anti-GBF1 antibody overnight at 4oC. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37oC. The tissue section was developed using an HRP secondary and DAB substrate.

Western blot analysis of GBF1 using anti-GBF1 antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on a 8% SDS-PAGE gel at 80V (Stacking gel) / 120V (Resolving gel) for 2 hours. Lane 1: human U251 whole cell lysates, Lane 2: human Caco-2 whole cell lysates, Lane 3: human whole cell lysates, Lane 4: human HepG2 whole cell lysates, Lane 5: rat brain tissue lysates, Lane 6: mouse brain tissue 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-GBF1 antibody at 0.5 ug/ml overnight at 4oC, 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 was developed using an ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate. Although GBF1 has a predicted molecular weight of ~207 kDa, it consistently migrates at ~240-260 kDa on SDS–PAGE, as reported in previous biochemical studies. The slower migration is due to GBF1’s extended coiled-coil structure and multiple phosphorylation sites, which affect SDS binding. Additional faint bands above or below this region likely represent differentially modified or partially processed forms of GBF1 present in distinct cell and tissue types.

The signal is developed using an ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate with Tanon 5200 system. GBF1 has a predicted molecular weight of ~207 kDa but consistently migrates at ~240-260 kDa, in agreement with published reports. The higher apparent size results from GBF1’s extended coiled-coil structure and extensive phosphorylation, which reduce SDS mobility. Additional bands around 200-230 kDa likely represent partially proteolyzed or alternatively modified forms of the protein. This multi-band pattern is characteristic of GBF1 and has been observed in both cultured cells and tissue lysates.

Immunohistochemical staining of GBF1 using anti-GBF1 antibody. GBF1 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human breast cancer tissue.

Immunofluorescent staining of GBF1 using anti-GBF1 antibody (green). GBF1 was detected in an immunocytochemical section of U2OS cells. Enzyme antigen retrieval was performed using IHC enzyme antigen retrieval reagent for 15 mins. The cells were blocked with 10% goat serum. And then incubated with 5 ug/ml rabbit anti-GBF1 antibody overnight at 4oC. DyLight 488 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1:500 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37oC. The section was counterstained with DAPI nuclear stain (blue). Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

Flow Cytometry analysis of HepG2 cells using anti-GBF1 antibody. Overlay histogram showing HepG2 cells stained with (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-GBF1 antibody (1 ug/million cells) for 30 min at 20oC. DyLight 488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (5-10 ug/million cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20oC. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1 ug/million cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.
