Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-smooth muscle Myosin heavy chain 11 antibody [EPR5336(B)] (AB196982)

IHC image of smooth muscle Myosin heavy chain 11 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human colon adenocarcinoma*.

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 ab196982 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.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-smooth muscle Myosin heavy chain 11 antibody [EPR5336(B)] (AB196982)

IHC image of smooth muscle Myosin heavy chain 11 staining in a section of frozen normal rat large intestine.

The section was fixed using 10% formaldehyde in 1XPBS for 10 minutes. No antigen retrieval step was performed prior to staining. 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 ab196982 at 1/100 (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount^®.
