Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-MafA antibody [EPR30417-538] - BSA and Azide free (AB324879)

This data was developed using ab324869, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Multiplex immunohistochemistry analysis of formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse pancreas tissue staining MafA with ab324869 at a 1 : 100 (5.13 ug/ml) dilution, ab181547 anti-Insulin used at 1 : 20000 (0.053 ug/ml) dilution and ab209792 anti-GIP used at a 1 : 2000 (0.26 ug/ml) dilution.

Panel A : merged staining of anti-MafA (green; Opal™520), anti-Insulin (magenta; Opal™690) and anti-GIP (gray; Opal™570) on mouse pancreas.
Panel B : anti-MafA staining nucleus of beta cells in mouse pancreas islet.
Panel C : anti-Insulin staining cytoplasm of beta cells in mouse pancreas islet.
Panel D : anti-GIP staining the alpha cells in mouse pancreas islet.
Nuclear DNA was labeled with DAPI (shown in blue).

The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab324869, ab181547 and ab209792 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.

The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins.
