Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ICC/IF: 1/1000. Fix cells in suspension by the addition of an equal volume of 4% paraformaldehyde prepared in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) for a final concentration of 2% paraformaldehyde. Fix cells at room temperature for 45 minutes and then centrifuge and washe twice with PBS. Resuspend cells in PBST (PBS containing 0.5% Triton-X100) with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and incubate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes to provide blocking against nonspecific antibody reactivity (see Geddis et al).
IHC-Fr: 1/500.
IHC-P: 1/500.
IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: 1/1000. Detects a band of approximately 106 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 106 kDa).


Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

Chromosomal passenger proteins are members of a group of proteins that move from centromeres to the spindle midzone during mitosis. INCENP (Inner Centromere Protein) is a chromosomal passenger protein with an essential role in mitosis and meiosis. It is a complex, highly basic, multidomain protein that is dynamically translocated from metaphase chromosomes to the spindle midzone during or just prior to anaphase. Some INCENP transfers to the equatorial cortex before formation of the cleavage furrow. Ultimately, it is discarded in the midbody at the completion of cytokinesis. INCENP, in complex with the passenger proteins aurora B kinase and survivin, acts at multiple points during mitosis. Studies in knockout mice established INCENP as essential for mouse development and viability. Loss of INCENP results in chromosome segregation defects and failures in cytokinesis. Targeting of survivin to its centromeric and central spindle locations during mitosis is dependent on INCENP. Direct binding of INCENP to beta tubulin has been demonstrated. Interactions of INCENP with heterochromatin protein HP1Hsa alpha and histone H2A.Z has also been reported. INCENP levels are increased in several human cancer lines.

ab36453 staining human (A431) epithelial cells by ICC/IF.  Cells were PFA fixed, permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X100 and blocked with 1% BSA for 30 minutes.  The primary antibody was diluted 1/1000 and incubated with the sample for 1 hour.  An Alexa Fluor® 647 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary.  All antibody incubations and blocking was carried out at room temperature.

Legend: Green = tubulin, Pink = INCENP, Blue = DNA

Ab36453 staining Human normal lung parenchyma. Staining is localised to nuclear and cytoplasmic compartment.
Left panel: with primary antibody at 4 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 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 we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
