The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab16059 at 1µg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

IHC image of ab16059 staining in mouse e14 whole foetus formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol B. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab16059, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature. A goat anti-rabbit biotinylated secondary antibody was used to detect the primary, and visualized using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

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.

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 ab16059, 1μg/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.

Supplementary information

TGN46 also known as trans-Golgi network protein 46 is an important membrane protein associated with the trans-Golgi network. The protein has a mass of approximately 46 kDa and plays a role in the sorting and trafficking of proteins to their proper destinations within the cell. TGN46 is widely expressed in various cell types and is commonly used as a Golgi marker in cell biology studies helping to identify Golgi apparatus in cells.
Biological function summary

The protein TGN46 functions in the sorting and transport mechanisms within the cell. It does not function as a part of a large macromolecular complex but it interacts with several other proteins to facilitate the movement of proteins from the Golgi to other sites within the cell. The protein also associates with trafficking components to ensure the correct delivery of proteins to the plasma membrane or lysosomes.

Pathways

The role of TGN46 involves participation in intracellular transport and protein trafficking pathways. It interacts with clathrin-coated vesicles and works closely with proteins such as gamma-adaptin and epsin which are important for vesicle formation and transport. These interactions highlight its involvement in protein secretion and membrane transport pathways which are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis.

TGN46 appears to have connections to neurodegenerative diseases and certain forms of cancer although the mechanisms are not fully understood. Alterations in TGN46 have been observed in Alzheimer's disease where it may intersect with proteins like amyloid precursor protein (APP) in protein misfolding and aggregation pathways. Additionally changes in TGN46 expression levels have been implicated in prostate cancer potentially due to its role in protein sorting and dysregulation of cellular trafficking processes.
