Anti-Vitamin D Receptor antibody - ChIP Grade (ab3508)

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Vitamin D Receptor antibody - ChIP Grade (ab3508)

Ab3508 staining human normal jejunum. Staining is localized to the nucleus.
Left panel: with primary antibody at 1/2000. 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, citrate pH 6.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes 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.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Vitamin D Receptor antibody - ChIP Grade (ab3508)

ab3508 staining the Vitamin D Receptor in mVDR-transfected and untransfected mouse NIH/3T3 cells by ICC/IF (immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were paraformaldehyde fixed, permeabilized with Triton X-100 and blocked with 1% BSA/5%HS for 30 minutes at 20ºC. The sample was incubated with the primary antibody (1/50 in 1% BSA/5% HS in 1xPBS) for 1 hour 30 minutes at 20ºC. A Cy3^®-conjugated goat anti-rabbit polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary.
