Anti-Cytokeratin 13 antibody [AE8] (ab16112)

IHC image of Cytokeratin 13 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human tonsil* performed on a Leica BOND^TM system using the standard protocol F.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab16112, 0.05 µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only 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.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 55 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was blocked for an hour using 3% milk before ab16112 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1ug/ml concentration and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

ab16112 staining Cytokeratin 13 in Human pharynx tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in Tris pH9. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (undiluted) for 1 hour at 20°C. An undiluted HRP-conjugated Goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody.
