Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, also known as HIF-1α, is a subunit of a heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) that is encoded by the HIF1α gene. It is a basic helix-loop-helix PAS domain containing protein, and is considered as the master transcriptional regulator of cellular and developmental response to hypoxia. The dysregulation and overexpression of HIF1α by either hypoxia or genetic alternations have been heavily implicated in cancer biology, as well as a number of other pathophysiologies, specifically in areas of vascularization and angiogenesis, energy metabolism, cell survival and tumour invasion.

1. HOW DID OUR
ANTIBODY PERFORM?
CUSTOMER REVIEW: HIF-1α Polyclonal Antibody (STJ93498)

2. WHAT WAS USED?
Primary antibody: STJ93498 HIF-1α Polyclonal
Antibody
Provider: St John's Laboratory
Dilution ratio: 1:500
Application: Western Blot.
Materials for validation: HeLa cell line

3. WHAT WAS THE PROTOCOL?
Treatment of materials: When cells were cultured to 90% plating density, RIPA buffer with
protease inhibitors (Roche) and equal volume of 2X loading buffer were added for 10 min water
bath at 100˚C.
Gel electrophoresis: 4-20% polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad), constant voltage 180V, 40 min.
Transfer: 0.25 nm nitrocellulose membrane, by using the Trans-Blot Turbo transfer system
(Bio-Rad) for 7 minutes.
Blocking: 1X TBST with 5% skimmed milk powder for 1 hr at room temperature.
Primary antibody probing: Primary antibody was added to the solution of 1X TBST with 5%
skimmed milk powder, 4˚C overnight.
Membrane wash: 1X TBST wash for 3 times.
Secondary antibody probing: Secondary antibody was added to the solution of 1X TBST with
5% skimmed milk powder with 1:10000 dilution ratio, for 1 hr.
Membrane wash: 1X TBST wash for 3 times.
Visualization: Chemiluminescent signal obtained by using the SuperSignal West
Chemiluminescent Substrate (Pierce) were detected using the ChemiDoc™ XRS system
(BioRad) with an exposure time of 1 minutes.

5. WHAT DID THE CUSTOMER THINK?
Testing results were provided by Manuela Lanzafame, PhD
from Istituto di Genetica Molecolare-CNR, Italy. They stated
that “In HeLa cells the STJ93498 HIF-1α antibody detects a
band of the predicted molecular weight of ~92 KDa and two
additional bands.”
