IHC image of S100 beta staining in a section of frozen normal human cerebral cortex performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab16659, 1/5000 dilution, 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.

We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

S100B is a calcium-binding protein widely used in neuro research, particularly for its role as a biomarker in neurological diseases. It is expressed in glial cells and certain neurons and its levels can indicate brain injury and neuroinflammation. Researchers use S100B to assess glial activation and neuronal damage in conditions such as traumatic brain injury, stroke and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease). This makes S100B essential for understanding the extent of brain damage and the inflammatory response in various neurological disorders.

Biological function summary
The functions of S100 beta involve modulating a range of cellular processes such as the dynamics of cytoskeleton cell growth and differentiation. It does not act alone but often forms homodimers or heterodimers and engages with target proteins influencing their activity. The expression and release of S100 beta can affect neuron growth and survival which makes it notable as one of the astrocyte markers used in immunohistochemistry to study neural tissue and brain injury responses.
Pathways
Research has shown that S100 beta actively participates in the regulation of important signaling pathways including the ERK and NF-κB pathways. These pathways are involved in various cellular responses like inflammation and cell survival. In its signaling roles S100 beta functions in connection with proteins like the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) helping to transmit extracellular signals into the cell.
