Relevance 

The 78 kDa glucose regulated protein/BiP (GRP78) belongs to the family of ~70 kDa heat shock proteins (HSP 70). GRP78 is a resident protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and may associate transiently with a variety of newly synthesized secretory and membrane proteins or permanently with mutant or defective proteins that are incorrectly folded, thus preventing their export from the ER lumen. GRP78 is a highly conserved protein that is essential for cell viability. The highly conserved sequence Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL) is present at the C terminus of GRP78 and other resident ER proteins including glucose regulated protein 94 (GRP 94) and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The presence of carboxy terminal KDEL appears to be necessary for retention and appears to be sufficient to reduce the secretion of proteins from the ER. This retention is reported to be mediated by a KDEL receptor.

Ab32618 staining Human normal liver parenchyma. Staining is localised to endoplasmic reticulum compartment.
Left panel: with primary antibody at 2 ug/ml. Right panel: isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature: sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers citrate pH6.1 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 we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

ICC/IF image of ab32618 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab32618, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
