Figure 2. Characterization of the antibodies by immunofluorescence.
N2A cells (left columns), or stable N2A transfectants expressing either hMeCP2_e1-myc-his (middle columns) or hMeCP2_e2-myc-his (right columns) were plated on coverslips and labeled with the following antibodies: αe1 (first line), αe2 (second line), Abcam2828 (third line) and αe1+e2 (bottom line), followed by anti-rabbit Alexa633 secondary antibody. Slides were mounted with DAPI-containing medium, and observed with a 40x oil immersion objective. Similar results were obtained in at least five other experiments.
