High resolution STED immunofluorescence nanoscopy of Mouse anti-AKT pS473 antibody. Tissue: A431 cells. The merge images (A) and at high magnification (B) show phosphorylated AKT colocalized with the distal microtubules. Fixation: 4% paraformaldehyde for 5 min and after washes blocked with 10% NGS/0.2% Triton X-100 for 30 min. Antigen retrieval: serum deprivation for 12 h. Primary antibody: AKT pS473 antibody at 10 ug/mL and α-tubulin (cyan) (p/n 600-401-880) at 1.4 ug/mL for 1 h at RT. Secondary antibody: Atto 647N anti-Mouse IgG (ATTO TEC GmbH), and DyLightTM488 anti-Rabbit IgG (p/n 611-141-122) were used at 1.0 ug/mL for 1h at RT for indirect detection. Localization: AKT pS473 is in the cytoplasm and also organized at the periphery of the cell. Staining: AKT pS473 as red signal with bis-benzimide (blue) nuclear counterstain.

Immunohistochemistry of Mouse anti-AKT pS473 antibody. Tissue: human prostate tissue. Fixation: formalin fixed paraffin embedded. Antigen retrieval: not required. Primary antibody: AKT pS473 antibody at 20 ug/mL for 1 h at RT. Secondary antibody: Dako's Techmate streptavidin-biotin reagents at 1:10,000 for 45 min at RT. Localization: AKT pS473 is nuclear and occasionally cytoplasmic. Staining: AKT pS473 as precipitated red signal with hematoxylin purple nuclear counterstain.

Immunofluorescence Microscopy of Mouse Anti-AKTpS473 antibody using STED nanoscopy to evaluate AKT activation and migration. Tissue: A431 cells. Antigen retrieval: Panel A: serum starved, unstimulated cells. Panel B: serum starved, EGF stimulated for 15 mins. A massive increase in AKT-pS473 activation, as measured by intensity signal, peaked at 15 minutes and was associated with depolymerized tubulin. Staining: Panel A shows STED data (AKT-pS473, red channel) collected simultaneously with confocal signal (a-tubulin, green channel). Upon stimulation of cells with EGF, a rapid activation of AKT is observed (Panel B) along with a coincident change in the tubulin organization (yellow signal), as well as an extensive cell shape-change (cell membrane folding) and accumulation of AKTpS473 at the cell periphery.
