Experimental details

Western blot analysis was performed on whole cell extracts (30 µg lysate) of U-87 MG (Lane 1), HeLa (Lane 2), PC-3 (Lane 3). The blots were probed with Anti-Vimentin pS39 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Product # 702179, 1-2 µg/mL) and detected by chemiluminescence using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (Product # A27036, 0.4 µg/mL, 1:2500 dilution). A 54 kDa band corresponding to Vimentin pS39 was observed. Known quantity of protein samples were electrophoresed using Novex® NuPAGE® 10% Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0301BOX), XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System (Product # EI0002) and Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard (Product # LC5800). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane with iBlot®2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The membrane was probed with the relevant primary and secondary Antibody following blocking with 5% skimmed milk. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce™ ECL Western blotting Substrate (Product # 32106).

Experimental details

For immunofluorescence analysis, U-87 MG cells were fixed and permeabilized for detection of endogenous Vimentin pS (39) using Anti-Vimentin pS (39) Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Product # 702179, 2 µg/mL) and labeled with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate (Product # A27034, 1:2000). Panel a) shows representative cells that were stained for detection and localization of Vimentin pS (39) protein (green), Panel b) is stained for nuclei (blue) using SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # S36938). Panel c) represents cytoskeletal F-actin staining using Alexa Fluor® 555 Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300). Panel d) is a composite image of Panels a, b and c clearly demonstrating cytoplamic localization of Vimentin pS (39), specifically in dividing cells. Panel e) shows loss of signal by competition with the Vimentin pS (39) peptide, demonstrating antibody specificity, and panel f) demonstrates no competition with the non-phospho peptide. Panel g) represents control cells with no primary antibody to assess background. The images were captured at 60X magnification.
