Anti-Glucose Transporter GLUT4/SLC2A4 Antibody Picoband™

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of GLUT4 using anti-GLUT4 antibody (PB9109).
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 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
lane 1: rat cardiac muscle tissue lysate,
lane 2: rat skeletal muscle tissue lysate.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA 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-GLUT4 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9109) at 0.5 μg/mL 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 1:10000 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 GLUT4 at approximately 55KD. The expected band size for GLUT4 is at 55KD.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of GLUT4 using anti-GLUT4 antibody (PB9109).
GLUT4 was detected in frozen section of rat cardiac muscle tissues. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-GLUT4 Antibody (PB9109) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

GLUT4 was detected in frozen section of mouse cardiac muscle tissues. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-GLUT4 Antibody (PB9109) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Figure 4. IHC analysis of GLUT4 using anti-GLUT4 antibody (PB9109).
GLUT4 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human intestinal cancer tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-GLUT4 Antibody (PB9109) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.
