Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-MAP2 antibody [AA5] - BSA and Azide free (AB255895)

This data was developed using ab254143 the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded rat cerebrum tissue labeling MAP2 with ab254143 at 1/4000 dilution (0.289 μg/ml) followed by a ready to use Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (HRP polymer) (ab214879). Cytoplasmic staining on rat cerebrum. The section was incubated with ab254143 for 10 mins at room temperature. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Counterstained with Hematoxylin.

Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is a ready to use Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (HRP polymer) (ab214879).

Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Citrate buffer (pH 6.0, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins.

This data was developed using ab254143 the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation. Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% Paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% TritonX-100 permeabilized mouse primary neuron cells labelling MAP2 with ab254143 at 1/50 dilution (23.14 μg/ml), followed by ab150113 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) antibody at 1/1000 dilution (Green). Confocal image showing cytoplasmic staining in mouse primary neuron cells. Confocal scanning Z step was set as 0.3 μm followed by image processing with maximum Z projection. ab183830 Anti-MAP2 rabbit monoclonal antibody was used to counterstain tubulin at 1/1000 dilution, followed by ab150080 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at a 1/500 dilution (Red). The nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is ab150113 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) at 1/1000 dilution.

Negative control 1 : ab254143 at a 1/50 dilution followed by ab150080 at a 1/500 dilution.

Target data

The exact function of MAP2 is unknown but MAPs may stabilize the microtubules against depolymerization. They also seem to have a stiffening effect on microtubules.
