Question (10779) | Anti-Aurora A antibody (ab1287)

Go to datasheet (ab1287)

Question

Customer would like to know for using ab1287 and ab2254 in IHC-formalin fixed paraffin embedded sections, at what pH for antigen retrieval?

Abcam community

Verified customer

Asked on Dec 30 2004

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. For ab1287, the originator has recommended using 0.1 M citrate buffer, pH 6.6 and 1mM EDTA. For ab2254, we would suggest microwave pre-treatment in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 5 mins high then 5 mins simmer (800W conventional microwave). If you have any additional questions, please contact us again.
