AKT1 Antibody

SKU: orb344456

Description

Akt (phospho-S473) antibody

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: ELISA, IF, IHC, WB
• Dilution Range: ELISA: 1:20,000, IHC: 20 µg/ml, IF: 1:500 - 1:3,000, WB: 1:500 - 1:3,000
• Reactivity: Human, Mouse
• Application Notes:
  This monoclonal antibody is tested in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescent microscopy, and western blotting. Expect a band approximately 56 kDa in size corresponding to phosphorylated AKT protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. This phospho-specific monoclonal antibody reacts with human and mouse AKT pS473 and shows minimal reactivity by ELISA against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. For immunohistochemistry use formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections. No pre-treatment of sample is required.

Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Mouse
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clone No.: 17F6.B11
• Immunogen: This monoclonal antibody was produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding S473 of human AKT1 protein.
• Target: AKT1
• Purity: This product was purified from concentrated tissue culture supernate by Protein A chromatography. This antibody is specific for human and mouse AKT protein phosphorylated at S473. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with AKT pS473 from human, mouse, rat and chimpanzee sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with AKT from other sources has not been determined. Cross-reactivity with AKT2 and AKT3 has not been determined.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

High resolution STED immunofluorescence nanoscopy of Mouse anti-AKT pS473 antibody. Tissue: A431 cells. The merge images (A) and at high magnification (B) show phosphorylated AKT colocalized with the distal microtubules. Fixation: 4% paraformaldehyde for 5 min and after washes blocked with 10% NGS/0.2% Triton X-100 for 30 min. Antigen retrieval: serum deprivation for 12 h. Primary antibody: AKT pS473 antibody at 10 µg/ml and α-tubulin (cyan) (p/n orb345510) at 1.4 µg/ml for 1 h at RT. Secondary antibody: Atto 647N anti-Mouse IgG (ATTO TEC GmbH), and DyLight™488 anti-Rabbit IgG were used at 1.0 µg/ml for 1h at RT for indirect detection. Localization: AKT pS473 is in the cytoplasm and also organized at the periphery of the cell. Staining: AKT pS473 as red signal with bis-benzimide (blue) nuclear counterstain.

Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy of Mouse Anti-AKT pS473 antibody. Tissue: EGF treated A431 cells. Fixation: 0.5% PFA. Antigen retrieval: EGF 15 min. Primary antibody: AKT pS473 antibody at 10 µg/ml for 1 h at RT. Secondary antibody: DyLight 488™ Goat anti-Rabbit IgG, MAb anti-AKT pS473, atto-647N anti-Mouse IgG (Active Motif). at 1:10000 for 45 min at RT. Localization: AKT pS473 is nuclear and occasionally cytoplasmic. Staining: AKT pS473 as red signal with tubulin (cyan).

Immunofluorescence Microscopy of Mouse Anti-AKTpS473 antibody using STED nanoscopy to evaluate AKT activation and migration. Tissue: A431 cells. Antigen retrieval: Panel A: serum starved, unstimulated cells. Panel B: serum starved, EGF stimulated for 15 mins. A massive increase in AKT-pS473 activation, as measured by intensity signal, peaked at 15 minutes and was associated with depolymerized tubulin. Staining: Panel A shows STED data (AKT-pS473, red channel) collected simultaneously with confocal signal (a-tubulin, green channel). Upon stimulation of cells with EGF, a rapid activation of AKT is observed (Panel B) along with a coincident change in the tubulin organization (yellow signal), as well as an extensive cell shape-change (cell membrane folding) and accumulation of AKTpS473 at the cell periphery.

Immunohistochemistry of Mouse anti-AKT pS473 antibody. Tissue: human prostate tissue. Fixation: formalin fixed paraffin embedded. Antigen retrieval: not required. Primary antibody: AKT pS473 antibody at 20 µg/ml for 1 h at RT. Secondary antibody: Dako's Techmate streptavidin-biotin reagents at 1:10000 for 45 min at RT. Localization: AKT pS473 is nuclear and occasionally cytoplasmic. Staining: AKT pS473 as precipitated red signal with hematoxylin purple nuclear counterstain.
