Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
IHC-P: 1/20 - 1/40. (ABC method). We suggest an incubation period of 30 minutes at room temperature. Antigen retrieval is not always necessary but it may increase signal intensity.
IHC-FoFr: 1/1000. See recommended protocol.

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



Specific protocols
IHC-FoFr protocol

Positive control 
(see definition)

Brain and spinal cord.

Cellular localization 

Cytoplasmic side of myelin.

Relevance 

The classic group of Myelin basic protein (MBP) isoforms (isoforms 4 to 14) are with PLP the most abundant protein components of the myelin membrane in the CNS. They have a role in both its formation and stabilization. The smaller isoforms might have an important role in remyelination of denuded axons in multiple sclerosis. The non classic group of MBP isoforms (isoforms 1 to 3/Golli MBPs) may preferentially have a role in the early developing brain long before myelination, maybe as components of transcriptional complexes, and may also be involved in signaling pathways in T cells and neural cells. Differential splicing events combined to optional posttranslational modifications give a wide spectrum of isomers, each of them having maybe a specialized function.

ab2404 at a dilution of 1/1000, staining Myelin Basic Protein (MBP; Alexa 488 secondary at 1/2000) in the cortex and hippocampus of rat brain tissue (30µm thick coronal sections). Staining was obtained following free floating IHC (see protocol link for detailed description). This image is a composite of 30 images taken with a 20x objective. No labeling observed following omission of primary antibody. Image recoloured in Photoshop.

Sections were viewed using an Axioplan 2 Imaging microscope (Imaging Associates) fitted with 10x, 20x and 40x Plan-Neofluorobjectives (Zeiss, Germany) and images were taken using a AxioCam Hrm digital camera (Zeiss, Germany) and AxioVision software (Imaging Associates).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Myelin Basic Protein antibody - Oligodendrocyte Marker (ab2404)

Human brain (grey matter) formalin fixed paraffin embedded 4 micron tissue sections. No antigen retrieval was performed. ab2404 (1:40) incubated for 30 min and detected using Mouse/Rabbit PolyVue HRP/ DAB Detection System (a 2-step HRP polymer system for enhanced sensitivity). Tissue was treated with peroxidase block and counterstained with Hematoxylin.
