Anti-CD3 antibody [SP7] (ab16669)

Immunohistochemical analysis of Formaldehyde fixed, paraffin-embedded pig spleen tissue sections labelling CD3 with ab16669 at a dilution of 1/100. Biotin conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Antigen retrieval was heat mediated using citric acid.

Immunohistochemical analysis of Formaldehyde fixed, frozen rat spleen tissue sections labelling CD3 with ab16669 at a dilution of 1/500. Biotin conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG at 1/300 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. 

Cryostat sections (10 microns thick) of fresh frozen spleen were dried overnight. They were fixed in 10% Formalin in PBS pH7 for 15 minutes.
After secondary antibody incubation ( Goat anti-rabbit biotin) , streptavidin-Alexa 594 was applied.

Lanes 1 - 6: Merged signal (red and green). Green – ab16669 observed at 23 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab16669 and ab8245 (loading control) overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) at a 1:10000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged.

Immunohistochemical (Formalin / PFA fixed paraffin-embedded sections) staining of of Tonsil tissue labeling CD3 (SP7) with ab16669 at 1/150 dilution.

Immunohistochemical analysis of Formaldehyde fixed, paraffin-embedded rat spleen tissue sections labelling CD3 with ab16669 at a dilution of 1/100. Biotin conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG at 1/300 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Antigen retrieval was heat mediated using citric acid.

Ab16669 staining CD3 in Mouse Epidydimal fat pad tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin embedded sections). Tissue sections were fixed with formaldehyde, blocked with 5% serum for 4 hours at 25°C and permeabilized with Triton X-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in PBST with BSA and goat serum) for 4°C at 12 hours. An Alexa Fluor® 568 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H + L) cross adsorbed was used as the secondary antibody.

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes stained with ab16669 (red line). Human whole blood was processed using a modified protocol based on Chow et al, 2005 (PMID: 16080188). In brief, human whole blood was fixed in 4% formaldehyde (methanol-free) for 10 min at 22°C. Red blood cells were then lyzed by the addition of Triton X-100 (final concentration - 0.1%) for 15 min at 37°C. For experimentation, cells were treated with 50% methanol (-20°C) for 15 min at 4°C. Cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab16669, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 4°C. The secondary antibody used was Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 4°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >30,000 total events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. Gating strategy - peripheral blood lymphocytes.

ab16669 staining rat infarcted heart tissue by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).

Myocardial infarction was produced in a rat model following the ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Tissue was harvested 6 w following infarct, fixed with Histochoice for 72 hr, paraffin sectioned and the slide was then baked prior to CD3 staining. ab16669 at 1/200 was incubated overnight at 4°C. The image was taken with a confocal laser scanning microscope and shows cells giving strong inmmunofluorescence staining for CD3 antigen (green), indicating presence of cells of T-lymphocytes origin in the infarct zone of the heart tissue, counterstained nuclei with DAPI (blue). Note, CD3 tended to be present in nests of 2-5 cells that were non-uniformly distributed in the infarct zone. In addition, the image shows that the CD3 localization is predominantly membrane based and to a certain extent intracytoplasmic.
