Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human 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 human 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.
