Background of SMAD4
SMAD4 plays a pivotal role in signal transduction of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily cytokines by mediating transcriptional activation of target genes. Smad4 signalling in T cells is required for suppression of gastrointestinal cancer. Mutational inactivation of SMAD4 causes TGF-beta unresponsiveness and gave a basis for understanding the physiologic role of this gene in tumorigenesis. Mutations in DPC4 (SMAD4) cause juvenile polyposis syndrome, but only account for a minority of cases.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Smad4 using anti-Smad4 antibody (MA1089).
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 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human HepG2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human 293T whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human COLO-320 whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: rat brain tissue lysates,
Lane 5: rat C6 whole cell lysates,
Lane 6: mouse Neuro-2a whole cell 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 mouse anti-Smad4 antigen affinity purified monoclonal antibody (Catalog # MA1089) at 1 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-mouse 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 # EK1001) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Smad4 at approximately 60 kDa. The expected band size for Smad4 is at 60 kDa.

Question
My question regarding product MA1089, anti-Smad4(DPC4) antibody (Monoclonal, DCS-46). I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-09-23
Answer
We do not advise storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free MA1089 anti-Smad4(DPC4) antibody (Monoclonal, DCS-46), we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question
Will MA1089 anti-Smad4(DPC4) antibody (Monoclonal, DCS-46) work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-09-06
Answer
As indicated on the product datasheet, MA1089 anti-Smad4(DPC4) antibody (Monoclonal, DCS-46) as been tested on ICC. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
