Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-S100 beta antibody - Astrocyte Marker (AB41548)
IHC image of S100 beta staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal mouse brain performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument using the standard protocol. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab41548, 0.1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

ab41548 staining S100 beta in Zebrafish body, showing T/S of spinal cord region by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in citric acid. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/10000 in TBS/BSA/azide) for 2 hours at 21°C. A Biotin-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/250) was used as the secondary antibody.

ab41548 staining S100 beta in mouse brain tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in citric acid. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/10000 in TBS/BSA/azide) for 2 hours at 21°C. A Biotin-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/250) was used as the secondary antibody.
At this dilution factor, there is very good delineation of astrocyte processes.

Biological function summary
The S100 beta protein participates in several intracellular and extracellular activities influencing cell proliferation and differentiation. It forms dimers and sometimes assembles into larger complexes mediated by the binding of calcium ions which alters its functional state. Within the nervous system S100 beta modulates the dynamics between neurons and glial cells affecting processes such as cell survival and neurite outgrowth. This dual role in both supporting and inhibiting various cellular actions highlights its importance in maintaining neural homeostasis.
Pathways
S100 beta engages in signaling pathways related to inflammation and stress responses. It works within the MAPK and NF-kB pathways playing roles in cellular responses to oxidative stress. These pathways involve interactions with other proteins like p53 which S100 beta can modulate to influence apoptosis. The regulatory properties of S100 beta in these pathways link it with broader networks affecting cell fate decisions under pathological and physiological conditions.
