Clone EPR12763 (ab209898) has been successfully conjugated by Abcam. This image was generated using Anti-NeuN antibody [EPR12763] - Neuronal Marker (Alexa Fluor® 647). Please refer to ab190565 for protocol details.

IHC image of ab190565 staining in formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section of normal human cerebellum.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) in a Dako Pascal pressure cooker using the standard factory-set regime. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked using in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 3% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated with ab190565 (1/50) in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 3% (w/v) BSA overnight at +4°C. The section was then counterstained and mounted with SlowFade^® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI.

The DAPI only control (no antibody) inset shows no autofluorescence, demonstrating that any Alexa Fluor^® 647 signal is dervied directly from bound ab190565. The separate images of ab190565 and DAPI alone, combined with the merged version of both signals, shows predominant co-localisation of the Alexa Fluor^® 647 signal in the nuclei of the cerebellar granule layer.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.
