Immunofluorescent staining obtained with ab16053 Rabbit polyclonal to GAP43 in rat dorsal root ganglion, 2 weeks after a spinal nerve injury. The staining is localised in the cytoplasm of some lesioned neurons (arrow in B) and in many axons (arrow heads in B). Image B (X40 objective) is a higher magnification of A (X20). The staining disappeared completely when the antibody was pre-incubated with the immunising (blocking) peptide (ab16379).
Protocol details: Rats were intracardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde, DRG tissue was post-fixed overnight in the same fixative, cryoprotected in 20% sucrose and frozen in OCT. IHC free floating was performed on the fixed, frozen and cut (20µm sections) rat tissue. Primary antibody ab16053 was incubated overnight at toom temperature at 1/300. Secondary antibody Alexa fluor 488 was incubated at 1/1000 for 2 hours at room temperature.
