Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Annexin-2/ANXA2 antibody (AB41803)
ab41803 staining Annexin-2 in MCF7 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab41803 at 5µg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Annexin-2/ANXA2 antibody (AB41803)
ICC/IF image of ab41803 stained HeLa 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 (ab41803, 1μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG - H&L, pre-adsorbed (ab96899) 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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Annexin-2/ANXA2 antibody (AB41803)
IHC image of Annexin-2/ANXA2 staining in FFPE human breast carcinoma FFPE 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 ab41803, 1μg/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.

Biological function summary
Annexin-2 acts beyond mere cellular structural support. It plays a part in fibrinolysis by acting as a co-receptor for plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator promoting plasmin generation. The protein is also implicated in membrane trafficking signal transduction and organization of microdomains on cellular surfaces. As part of a complex with S100A10 ANXA2 can bind to cytoskeletal elements facilitating vesicle trafficking and influencing cell shape and motility. This complex assembly hints at ANXA2's importance in maintaining cellular dynamism and interplay with external signals.
Pathways
ANXA2 is integral in the regulation of the plasminogen activation pathway important for fibrinolytic activity. It also participates in the signal transduction pathways influencing cellular responses to stress and growth factors. ANXA2 interacts with various proteins like Src kinase and is involved in processes like the EGFR signaling pathway. This protein often crosstalks with the cytoskeletal network enabling the coupling of membrane dynamics with intracellular signaling cascades.
