Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-DLK-1 antibody [MM0514-9D8] (AB89908)
ICC/IF image of ab89908 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 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 (ab89908, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 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.
- Flow Cyt
Unknown
Flow Cytometry - Anti-DLK-1 antibody [MM0514-9D8] (AB89908)
Overlay histogram showing HepG2 cells stained with ab89908 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab89908, 2μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2b [PLPV219] (ab91366, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in HepG2 cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) used under the same conditions.
Please note that Abcam do not have any data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback.
- IHC-P
Unknown
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-DLK-1 antibody [MM0514-9D8] (AB89908)
IHC image of ab89908 staining in human pancreas formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue 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 ab89908, 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.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Biological function summary
DLK-1 serves a function in the inhibition of adipocyte differentiation and the maintenance of preadipocyte phenotype. It does not form part of a complex but interacts with membrane-bound receptors to mediate signaling pathways that impact tissue development. Researchers study its role in embryonic development and its downregulation is a significant factor during the differentiation of mesenchymal cells. Due to these interactions DLK-1 has a pivotal involvement in processes governing tissue regeneration and growth control.
Pathways
Better understanding of DLK-1 involves examining its interaction in the Notch signaling pathway. This important pathway related to cell fate decisions features pathways with other proteins like Notch-1 and Notch-3. The relationship helps modulate the fate and proliferation of cells. DLK-1 also has associations with pathways involving phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) which influences cell growth and survival through related proteins such as AKT.
