Application example
1.0 µg of chlorophyll from mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) thylakoids of various treatments of Zea mays extracted with 0.4 M sorbitol, 50 mM Hepes NaOH, pH 7.8, 10 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2 and 2 mM EDTA. Samples were denatured with Laemmli buffer at 75°C for 5 min and were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted 30 min to PVDF using wet transfer. Blot was blocked with 5% BSA for 1h at room temperature (RT) with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 10 000 overnight at 4°C with agitation in 1% BSA in TBS-T. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was washed 4 times for 5 min in TBS-T at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated, from Agrisera, AS09 602) diluted to 1:25 000 in 1 % BSA in TBS-T for 1h at RT with agitation. The blot was washed 5 times for 5 min in TBS-T and 2 times for 5 min in TBS, and developed for 1 min with 1.25 mM luminol, 0.198 mM coumaric acid and 0.009% H2O2 in 0.1 M Tris- HCl, pH 8.5. Exposure time in ChemiDoc System was 54 seconds.
1 µg of thylakoid membranes isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type and respective mutants were solubilized with 3X LB (6 M urea, 12% SDS, 30% glycerol, 100 mM DTT, 150 mM Tris pH7.0, 0.8% Comassie G-250). 1 µg of total chlorophyll was loaded and separated on 16% SDS-PAGE, and then blotted for 2 h onto nitrocellulose membrane. Blots were blocked with milk powder for 2 h and then incubated in the primary antibody solution (AS13 2705, 1: 5 000) for 2.5 h, which was then decanted and the blot was washed 3 times for 5 min in TBST. Membrane was incubated in secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1:10 000 in for 1 h, followed by washing steps as above. All the steps fallowing transfer were performed in room temperature (RT) with agitation. Membrane was developed for 5 min with ECL according to the manufacturer’s instructions and recorded using FujiFilm CCD camera with 30 s increment time for around 5 min.

Background: The major light-harvesting antenna complex II (LHCII) in photosynthetic eukaryotes is located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. It is a heterotrimeric complex formed by up to 3 different individual subtypes of chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins: Lhcb1, Lhcb2, and Lhcb3. Lhcb2 is often coded by several nuclear genes and is found together with Lhcb1 within the mobile LHCII trimers involved in state1-state2 transition.

Soo Yeon Ko | 2020-11-18We always use this antibody when we want to see the Lhcb2 band clearly in Western blot (1:5000 dilution). It is also working on Oryza Sativa. We used it with isolated 2ug thylakoid membrane.Soo Yeon Ko | 2019-11-18The antibody is working on Oryza Sativa and Arabidopsis thaliana. We used it with isolated 2ug thylakoid membrane and could get the band (1:5000 dilution)Stefano Caffarri | 2016-09-22Very sensitive and specific antibody for P-Lhcb2. See also Crepin A et al.
