This image was produced using ab317805, the same antibody clone but in a different formulation. ab318305 staining Iba1 in THP-1 (positive) and HeLa (negative) cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 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 ab318305 at 5 µg/ml and ab202272, Alexa Fluor® 594 Rabbit monoclonal [EP1332Y] to alpha Tubulin - Microtubule Marker (shown in pseudocolour magenta). Cells were then incubated with ab150173, Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). Image was acquired with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems TCS SP8) and a single confocal section is shown.

Product details

This chicken monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (ab178846). By necessity, some rabbit sequence is retained as part of the variable domain. When multiplexing with other rabbit-derived antibodies, using cross absorbed Fc-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.

What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply

Supplementary information

Iba1 also known as Allograft Inflammatory Factor 1 (AIF-1) is a 17 kDa protein notable for its involvement in immune responses. It is expressed mainly in microglia and macrophages key components of the central nervous system's immune system. Researchers often use Iba1 in Western blots and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to study microglial activation. The protein's expression is a strong marker of microglial activation making it a focal point in neuroinflammation studies. Anti-Iba1 antibodies have gained popularity for their effectiveness in identifying microglia in brain tissue sections through Iba1 staining techniques.
Biological function summary

Iba1 modulates actin bundling facilitating changes in microglial morphology and motility. It does not form part of a multiprotein complex but is significantly involved in cytoskeletal dynamics. This protein's expression increases during brain injury indicating its role in response to neural trauma. Iba1 has calcium-binding properties which suggest that it might interact with proteins involved in calcium signaling pathways.

Pathways

Calcium signaling and actin cytoskeletal rearrangement are significant biological processes that involve Iba1. Within these pathways Iba1 interacts closely with other actin-binding proteins that affect microglial movement and morphology. Such interactions illustrate how Iba1 helps microglia navigate and respond to changes within the brain environment.

Iba1 is often associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In these conditions elevated Iba1 levels mark increased microglial activity which correlates with disease progression. Connections with proteins such as amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's disease suggest its role in mediating inflammatory responses and linking inflammation to disease pathology.
