SYNM Antibody / Synemin (FY12346)

Flow Cytometry analysis of THP-1 cells using anti-SYNM antibody. Overlay histogram showing THP-1 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-SYNM 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 (Red line) was also used as a control.

Western blot analysis of SYNM using anti-SYNM antibody. Lane 1: human Hela whole cell lysates, Lane 2: mouse heart 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-SYNM 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 enhanced chemiluminescent. Synemin (SYNM) was detected at ~240 kDa in human HeLa and mouse heart lysates, consistent with the high-molecular-weight α/H isoform described in muscle and non-muscle cells. The upward shift relative to the 173 kDa predicted size reflects isoform length and extensive phosphorylation typical of intermediate filament proteins.
