Human Smad4 Antibody

Detection of Human Smad4 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line, Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line, and K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Smad4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2097) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for Smad4 at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of Smad4-regulated Genes by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation. Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line treated with 10 ng/mL Recombinant Human IL-12 (Catalog # 219-IL) overnight was fixed using formaldehyde, resuspended in lysis buffer, and sonicated to shear chromatin. Smad4/DNA complexes were immunoprecipitated using 5 µg Goat Anti-Human Smad4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2097) or control antibody (Catalog # AB-108-C) for 15 minutes in an ultrasonic bath, followed by Biotinylated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # BAF109). Immunocomplexes were captured using 50 µL of MagCellect Streptavidin Ferrofluid (Catalog # MAG999) and DNA was purified using chelating resin solution. Thep21promoter was detected by standard PCR.

Smad4 in Human PBMCs. Smad4 was detected in immersion fixed human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using Goat Anti-Human Smad4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2097) at 15 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of Human Smad4 by Western Blot siRNA knockdown of Smad1, -2 and 4 does not impact RVFV replication.HSAECs transfected with media alone (Mock) or siRNAs (75nM) directed against a nontargeting control (NTC), Smad1, -2, or -4 were infected with MP12 virus (MOI 0.1). Both extracellular media supernatants (A) and protein lysates (B,C) were harvested at 9 and 24hpi. A) Infectious viral titers were determined by plaque assay. Data plotted as a bar graph of the mean with standard deviation of four replicates. Protein lysates from single (B) and double knockdowns (C) were analyzed by western blot for actin, total Smad1, -2, and -4 expression.
