Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-ABCA1 antibody [HJ1] (AB66217)
ab66217 (4µg/ml) staining ABCA1 in human liver using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is moderate cell membrane staining throughout the liver parenchyma.
Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-ABCA1 antibody [HJ1] (AB66217)
IHC image of ABCA1 staining in human liver formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab66217, 0.2µg/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 haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
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.

Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-ABCA1 antibody [HJ1] (AB66217)
Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing Hep G2 cells stained with ab66217 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilised with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were incubated in 1x PBS containing 10%; normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab66217) (1x 106 in 100 μl at 5.0 μg/ml (1/0)) for 30 min at 22°C.

ab66217 detected the expected band for ABCA1 in wild type HAP1 cells and the band was not seen in ABCA1 knockout HAP1 cells, although additional non-specific bands were also seen. Wild-type and ABCA1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab66217 and ab176560 (Rabbit anti alpha Tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1/10000 dilution respectively.

Western blot - Anti-ABCA1 antibody [HJ1] (AB66217)
Abcam recommends using milk as the blocking agent. This blot was produced using a 3-8% Tris Acetate gel under the TA buffer system. The gel was run at 150V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 3% Milk before being incubated with ab66217 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-mouse antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution.

Biological function summary
ABCA1 functions as a cholesterol efflux pump in the cellular membrane. It facilitates the transfer of cholesterol to lipid-poor apolipoproteins such as apoA-I which then forms HDL particles. This active process helps maintain cellular cholesterol homeostasis and reduces cholesterol accumulation. ABCA1 is a critical component of the HDL synthesis pathway and does not form part of a larger protein complex acting more as an individual unit in this function.
Pathways
Many regulatory mechanisms control the activity of ABCA1. It plays a significant role in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway thereby promoting the movement of cholesterol away from peripheral tissues back to the liver for excretion. This pathway helps maintain systemic lipid balance. The LXR/RXR pathway regulates ABCA1 expression aligning it closely with other proteins such as LXR and ABCG1 which also deal with cholesterol metabolism.
