Lab

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GFAP antibody [EPR1034Y] - Astrocyte marker - Mouse IgG2a (Chimeric) (AB279290)

IHC image of GFAP staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human cerebral cortex performed on a Leica BOND^TM 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 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab279290, 1μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature. A rabbit anti-mouse IgG2a, was added for 8 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen.

The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
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.
