Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-Choline Acetyltransferase antibody [EPR13024(B)] (AB192466)

IHC image of Choline Acetyltransferase staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human cerebellum.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) in a Dako Pascal pressure cooker using the standard factory-set regime. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab192466 at 1/100 (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount^®.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

ab192466 staining Choline Acetyltransferase in SKNSH cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilised in 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked in 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab192466 at a working dilution of 1 in 100 (shown in red) and ab195887, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor^® 488, shown in green) at 2μg/ml overnight at +4°C. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

This product gave a positive signal in 100% methanol (5 min) fixed SKNSH cells under the same testing conditions.
