Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16588] - Microglia marker - Rat IgG2a (Chimeric) (AB300156)
Composite multiplex immunofluorescence staining of Iba1, GFAP and MAP2 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human cerebral cortex*.
Performed on a Leica BOND. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Sodium citrate (Ph6.0) using retrieval settings of 100°C for 20 minutes. The section was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour with ab300156 at 1µg/ml dilution (shown in green), ab183830 at 1µg/ml (shown in magenta), and ab302644 at 1µg/ml (shown in yellow). Then incubated for 1 hour with ab150161 Goat F(ab')2 Anti-Rat IgG Fc (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed 1/1000, ab150083 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 647) preadsorbed 1/1000, and ab150134 Donkey Anti-Goat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 555) preadsorbed 1/1000. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Dako Fluorescence Mounting Medium ®.
Image was taken with the EVOS™ S1000 Spatial Imaging System (ThermoFisher Scientific) with spectral unmixing and minor subsequent contrast adjustment.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

Product details
Find all reagents to label astrocytes in our "Microglia markers guide".
This rat monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from 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 across absorbed Fc-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.
ab300156 does not react in: WB with human, mouse, and rat samples; ICC-IF with human tissues.

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.
