Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
IHC-P: 1/100. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval via the microwave method before commencing with IHC staining protocol (see attached protocol).
Immunohistochemistry (PFA fixed): 1/500 (IF detection) - 1/1000. PFA/picric acid perfusion fixed tissue; 2 days tissue post-fixation (see attached protocol).
IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: Use at an assay dependent concentration. Predicted molecular weight: 60 kDa. Can be blocked with c-Fos (N-term) peptide (human).

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

Relevance 

The Fos gene family consists of 4 members: Fos, FosB, FosL1, and FosL2. These genes encode leucine zipper proteins that can dimerize with proteins of the JUN family, thereby forming the transcription factor complex AP1. As such, the Fos proteins have been implicated as regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. In some cases, expression of the Fos gene has also been associated with apoptotic cell death. The human oncogene c-Fos is homologous to the Finkel-Biskis-Jinkins (FBJ) murine osteosarcoma virus oncogene. Fos was the first transcription factor identified that has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton.

Fos protein is routinely used as a marker of neuronal activation.

Immunohistochemistry (PFA perfusion fixed frozen sections) - c-Fos antibody (ab7963)

c-fos antibody (ab7963) at a dilution of 1/1000 (2 X o/n incubation at RT; ABC amplification). Nuclear staining observed in the rat spinal cord [A] dorsal horn and [B] Lamina 1 of the dorsal horn. Staining also observed in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (not shown). Staining performed in free floating IHC on 30µm saggital spinal cord sections (perfusion fixed tissue).
