Anti-Calsequestrin antibody (ab3516)

Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence analysis of C2C12 cells labeling Calsequestrin (green) with ab3516 at 1/100. Cells were ficed woth formalin and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton C-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA in PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were incubated with the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. A DyLight-conjugated secondary antibody was used. F-actin (red) was strained with phalloidin and nuclei (blue) were stained with Hoechst or DAPI. 60X Magnification. Left - negative control.

To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval method was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0) microwaved for 8-15 min. Tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS. Tissue sections were incubated with primary antibody (1:200 in 3% BSA-PBS) overnight at 4°C. A HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit was used as the secondary antibody, followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

ab3516 staining Calsequestrin in Mouse myocyte cell by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at 25°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/50 in serum) for 18 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody.

ab3516 (1µg/ml) staining Calsequestrin in Human skeletal muscle using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is strong staining of discrete organelles within the cytoplasm.
Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.
