Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-C1q antibody [4.8] (AB182451)

ab182451 (1/500) staining C1q in 15μm coronal brain sections from postnatal day 90 C1qA KO mice and WT litter-mates (Botto et al., 1998) by immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr - frozen sections). Tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton. An Alexa Flour-conjugated Goat anti-Mouse IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. Positive staining on wild type (WT) mouse cerebral cortex, and no staining on knockout (KO) mouse cerebral cortex.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-C1q antibody [4.8] (AB182451)

Immunohistochemical analysis of frozen mouse spleen labelling C1q with ab182451 at a concentration of 0.1µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a ChromoMap DAB kit and anti-rabbit HQ and anti-HQ HRP detection. ab182451 Anti-C1q antibody [4.8] was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

Customers are encouraged to optimise antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentration, incubation times and temperature for best results in their own IHC assay workflow (automated and manual).

Target data

C1q associates with the proenzymes C1r and C1s to yield C1, the first component of the serum complement system. The collagen-like regions of C1q interact with the Ca(2+)-dependent C1r(2)C1s(2) proenzyme complex, and efficient activation of C1 takes place on interaction of the globular heads of C1q with the Fc regions of IgG or IgM antibody present in immune complexes.
