Target
-
Function
Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues. -
Tissue specificity
Red blood cells. -
Involvement in disease
Heinz body anemias
Alpha-thalassemia
Alpha(0)-thalassemia is associated with non-immune hydrops fetalis, a generalized edema of the fetus with fluid accumulation in the body cavities due to non-immune causes. Non-immune hydrops fetalis is not a diagnosis in itself but a symptom, a feature of many genetic disorders, and the end-stage of a wide variety of disorders.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Biotin Anti-Hemoglobin subunit alpha antibody [EPR3608] (ab217074)
IHC image of Hemoglobin subunit alpha staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human placenta*, performed on a Leica BOND™. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer (pH9, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20mins, before blocking of endogenous biotin using ab64212. The section was then incubated with ab217074, 1/100 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
