    GFAP Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) staining using rabbit Anti-GFAP antibody

    IHC-Fr image of GFAP staining in a section of frozen rat brain (hypothalamus). The section was air dried on the bench for 30 minutes and blocked for 2 hours in 1XPBS/0.1% Tween 20/1% BSA/0.3M Glycine buffer. The sample was then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab194324 at 1/50 dilution (shown in green). DAPI-containing mounting media was added to the sample (shown in blue). The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

    GFAP Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) staining of Rat cerebellum using rabbit Anti-GFAP antibody

    Image A: composite multiplex immunohistochemistry staining using conjugates panel composed of anti- GFAP (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab194324, 1/100 dilution, 5 µg/mL) (green), anti-MOG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody [EPR22629-310] ab305372, 1/100 dilution, 5 µg/mL) (magenta) and anti-Iba1 (Alexa Fluor® 647) (Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16588] ab225261, 1/100 dilution, 5 µg/mL) (white) on Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of rat cerebellum. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (blue).

    Image B: Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded section of rat cerebellum stained with anti- GFAP (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab194324, 1/100 dilution, 5 µg/mL).

    Image C: Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded section of rat cerebellum stained with anti- MOG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody [EPR22629-310] ab305372, 1/100 dilution, 5 µg/mL).

    Image D: Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded section of rat cerebellum stained with anti- Iba1 (Alexa Fluor® 647) (Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16588] ab225261, 1/100 dilution, 5 µg/mL).

    Immunohistochemistry staining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA (pH 9.0, 110°C) for 40 mins. The section was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and mounted using Dako Fluorescence Mounting Medium®.

    Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope. For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.
