Product nameAnti-Iba1 antibody
See all Iba1 primary antibodies -
DescriptionGoat polyclonal to Iba1
-
SpecificityThis antibody is expected to recognise isoform 3 (NP_001614.3) only. This antibody gave excellent staining in paraffin embedded human adult tissue and embyronic rat tissue. For WB, we recommend blocking in 3-5% milk, NOT BSA. Blocking in BSA gives high background.

Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab48004 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| WB | Use a concentration of 0.5 - 1.5 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 17 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 17 kDa). We recommend blocking in 3-5% milk, not BSA. Blocking in BSA gives high background in WB. |
|
| IHC-Fr | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| IHC-P | Use a concentration of 2 - 4 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. |
Target
-
FunctionActin-binding protein that enhances membrane ruffling and RAC activation. Enhances the actin-bundling activity of LCP1. Binds calcium. Plays a role in RAC signaling and in phagocytosis. May play a role in macrophage activation and function. Promotes the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and of T-lymphocytes. Enhances lymphocyte migration. Plays a role in vascular inflammation.
-
Tissue specificityDetected in T-lymphocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
-
Sequence similaritiesContains 2 EF-hand domains.
-
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated on serine residues. -
Cellular localizationCytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Cell projection > ruffle membrane. Associated with the actin cytoskeleton at membrane ruffles and at sites of phagocytosis.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Iba1 antibody (ab48004)This image is courtesy of an Abreview submitted by Mr Carl Hobbsab48004 at 1/300 staining human jejunum tissue sections by IHC-P. A heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citric acid buffer was performed and the tissue was blocked in BSA before incubation with the antibody for 2 hours. A biotinylated rabbit anti-goat antibody was used as the secondary. -
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Iba1 antibody (ab48004)This image is courtesy of an Abreview submitted by Mr Carl Hobbsab48004 diluted 1/200 with TBS/BSA/Azide staining rat d15 embryonic liver tissue sections by IHC-P. The tissue was formaldehyde fixed and a heat-mediated antigen retrieval step in citric acid buffer at pH6 was performed prior to blocking with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at room temperature. Incubation time with the primary antibody was 16 minutes. A biotinylated rabbit anti-goat was used as the secondary.
