Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker – Chicken IgY (Chimeric) – BSA and Azide Free (AB323247)

Immunofluorescence staining of VIM in sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human kidney (positive) and human skeletal muscle (negative)*.

Performed on a Leica BOND. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate (pH6.0) for 20 minutes. The section was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour with ab323238 at 1/500 dilution and then incubated for 1 hour with ab150173 Goat Anti-Chicken IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Dako Fluorescence Mounting Medium®. Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times. *Tissue obtained from the Human Research Tissue Bank, supported by the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre.

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

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker – Chicken IgY (Chimeric) – BSA and Azide Free (AB323247)

ab323238 staining VIM in Hap1 (positive) and Hap1-VIM KO (negative) cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 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 ab323238 at 1ug/ml (shown in green) and ab202272, Alexa Fluor® 594 Rabbit monoclonal [EP1332Y] to alpha Tubulin - Microtubule Marker (shown in pseudocolour magenta). Cells were then incubated with ab150173, Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Also suitable in cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min).

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

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