WIPI2 antibody | 2A2
Mouse anti Human WIPI2 antibody, clone 2A2 (MCA5780) used to evaluate expression of the shortened isoform of human WIPI2, WIPI2B by western blotting.
Image caption:
Recombinant wild-type or mutant GST-RAB33B were incubated with cell lysate from HeLa cells previously incubated in EBSS for 2 h as indicated. Samples were subjected to affinity isolation using glutathione beads and immunoblot analysis. WIPI2B binding was trapped by crosslinking.

Mouse anti Human WIPI2 antibody, clone 2A2 (MCA5780GA) used to demonstrate WIPI2 expression in HeLa cells by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
Arzanol induces colocalization of ATG16L1 and LC3 and inhibits autophagic flux, but does not alter WIPI2 localization. (B) Shown are representative microscopy images of wild-type HeLa cells immunofluorescently labelled for endogenous WIPI2. Cells were grown in full medium or starved in serum- and amino acid-free medium for 2 h while incubated with 3μM arzanol or 10 nM bafilomycin A1. Scale bars in upper panels are 15.5μm, scale bars in magnifications are 3.875μm. (i.) Data show average number of dots per cell as mean ± SEM (n=5). Digits in bars show total number of cells quantified using ImageJ software. (ii.) Data show average diameter of dots in nm as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed usingordinary oneway ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparison test.

Shear-stress-induced PI3P synthesis at the PC depends on PI3KC2α
Western blot analysis and quantification of WIPI2 protein levels in lysates of polarized siCTRL or siPI3KC2α HK2 cells, upon static (ctrl) and shear-stress (96 h) conditions. Bar graph denotes average protein levels normalized to actin (mean ± SEM, from three independent experiments). NS: not significant, ***p <0.001 in two-tailed Student’s t test..

Antibody Quality and 
Unrivaled 
| Mouse anti Human WIPI2 antibody, clone 2A2 recognies WD repeat domain phosphoinositide-interacting protein 2 (WIPI-2), also known as WIPI49-like protein 2. WIPI2 is a 454 amino acid ~54 kDa autophagosomal marker containing three WD repeats. WIPI2 is a mammalian orthologue of the yeast protein Atg18 and is similarly recruited to early autophagosomal structures and is required for their maturation into mature autophagosomes (Polson et al. 2010). Human WIPI2 exists in multiple isoforms including WIPI2A, the canonical 454 amino acid isoform and WIPI2B with deletions towards both the N and C terminal regions. Mouse anti Human WIPI2 antibody, clone 2A2 was generated using a C-terminal sequence and recognizes both WIPI2A and WIPI2B by western blotting (Pantoom et al. 2020) Mouse anti Human WIPI2 antibody, clone 2A2 has been used for the immunofluorescent detection of WIPI2 in the human retinal epithelial cell line RPE1 (MacVicar and Lane 2014). |
