Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Adenosine Receptor A2a antibody (AB3461)
ab3461 labelling Adenosine Receptor A2a in the cytoplasm and membrane of Mouse testis tissue (right) compared with a negative control (left) by Immunohistochemisty (formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval method was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0) microwaved for 8-15 min. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature. Tissue sections were incubated with the primary antibody (1 : 20 in 3% BSA-PBS) overnight at 4°C. A HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was as the secondary antibody, followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

ICC/IF image of ab3461 stained SKNSH cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab3461, 10µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899 Dylight 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of Adenosine Receptor A2a (green) showing staining in the cytoplasm of U251 cells (right) compared to a negative control (left). Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were incubated with ab3461 in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1 : 20 overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight-conjugated secondary antibody in PBS at room temperature in the dark. F-actin (red) was stained with a fluorescent red phalloidin and nuclei (blue) were stained with Hoechst or DAPI. Images were taken at a magnification of 60x.

Biological function summary
The A2A adenosine receptor functions as an important regulator of neurotransmission and immune response. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but rather independently influences processes such as vasodilation heart rate regulation and cytokine release. The A2A receptor contributes to the modulation of dopamine and glutamate signaling in the central nervous system playing a significant role in maintaining neural balance. Its activity in immune cells helps in controlling inflammation and immune cell proliferation.
Pathways
The A2A adenosine receptor engages in critical signaling cascades particularly the cAMP-PKA pathway and the MAPK pathway. Through the cAMP-PKA pathway A2A R influences various cellular processes by increasing cyclic AMP levels which activate protein kinase A. The receptor is also involved in the MAPK pathway impacting cellular growth and differentiation. It interacts with proteins such as Gs alpha subunit which couples to the receptor to promote downstream signaling events.
