Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-c-Fos antibody [EPR21930-238] (AB222699)
Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human bladder cancer labelling c-Fos with ab222699 at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH 8.5 for 32mins.
ab222699 anti-c-Fos [EPR21930-238] was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

Anti-c-FOS antibody ab222699 was used with Tissue clearing kit – CUBIC (ab316246) and 3D Tissue Staining Kit – CUBIC (ab316248) to penetrate, stain and clear a whole mouse brain. White : nuclear staining, Yellow : c-FOS.
Learn more about tissue clearing kits, reagents, and protocols designed to make it easier to stain whole brains and get more data from each valuable tissue sample.
For a whole mouse brain, we recommend starting with 0.6 ug of ab222699 and using a Fab fragment secondary antibody at 0.4 ug to create an antibody complex before 3D staining (see protocol for details). Additive A was used during the staining process.
The sample was imaged using a light-sheet microscope.

A band was observed at 35-50 kDa in Wild-type A375 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in FOS knockout A375 cell line. To generate this image, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5pc Milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse 680RD at 1/20,000 dilution.

Target Information
c-Fos is an immediate-early gene widely used in neuro research for its role as a marker of neuronal activation. It is rapidly expressed in response to various stimuli, making it an excellent indicator of neuronal activity and functional mapping. Researchers use c-Fos to study brain activity patterns, synaptic plasticity, and the effects of drugs or other interventions on the central nervous system, making it essential for understanding dynamic changes in brain function.

Biological function summary
C-Fos acts as part of the Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) complex a group of DNA-binding proteins that regulate gene transcription. This complex forms when c-Fos and Jun proteins dimerize. The AP-1 complex controls several cellular processes such as proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. Due to its participation in these vital processes c-Fos influences cellular responses to external stimuli and can affect how cells behave under stress.
Pathways
C-Fos significantly contributes to the MAPK/ERK pathway which plays a role in cell growth and differentiation. It partners with Jun proteins to form functional transcription factors within the MAPK signaling cascade. Additionally c-Fos is involved in the JNK signaling pathway linking it to stress responses and apoptosis. These pathways highlight the partnerships between c-Fos and other proteins like ERK and JNK indicating their intertwined roles in cellular signaling networks.
