Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Chromogranin A antibody (AB85554)
IHC image of Chromogranin A staining in Human Pancreas Adenocarcinoma FFPE section, performed on a 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 ab85554, 5µg/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

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Chromogranin A antibody (AB85554)
ab85554 staining Chromogranin-A precursor in SHSY5Y cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 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 ab85554 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.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Chromogranin A antibody (AB85554)
Chromogranin A was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Mouse Pancreas tissue lysate, 5μg of Rabbit polyclonal to and 50μl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Mouse Pancreas tissue lysate lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40μl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70°C; 10μl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab85554.

IHC image of Chromogranin A staining in Monkey Pancreas sections, performed The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6). Sections were subjected to 2% H202O then Avidin-Biotin to block endogenous peroxidases/biotin. The section was then incubated with ab85554, 1/5000, for 2 hours at 12°C. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin

Biological function summary
Chromogranin A assists in the regulation of secretory pathways across multiple neuroendocrine systems. It plays a role in hormone storage conversion to active peptides and regulates the exocytosis of hormones. CgA acts within a complex contributing to secretory granule biogenesis and influencing intravesicular acidity. As a regulatory component the exact physiological roles are diverse impacting cardiovascular metabolic and immunological processes.
Pathways
Chromogranin A is involved in pathways such as the catecholamine synthesis and release pathway and the serotonergic pathway. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins like secretogranin II and parathyroid hormone (PTH). These interactions modulate neurotransmitter storage and secretion across various systems. CgA's bioactive peptides also contribute to modulating physiological processes like vasoconstriction and insulin regulation linking it closely with these signaling cascades.
