Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-PBR antibody [EPR5384] - BSA and Azide free (AB213654)

This data was developed using ab109497, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human adrenal gland labelling PBR with ab109497 at a concentration of 0.05µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5 for 32mins.

ab109497 anti-PBR antibody [EPR5384] was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.
