Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of ARPE cells labelling F-actin with ab205. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, washed with PBS, and blocked for one hour. Cells were then incubated for 3h at 37°C with Anti-F-actin antibody [NH3] (ab205) at 1/200 dilution. Thereafter, cells were washed 3 times with PBS containing 0.3% Triton-X, incubated with secondary antibody and coverslipped with Fluoroshield containing DAPI as a counter stain. Immunofluorescent signals were detected by confocal microscopy.

Immunohistochemistry (Resin sections) analysis of mouse bone tissue cells labeling F-actin with ab205 at 1/200 dilution. Mouse tibia bone samples were fixed in neutral buffered formalin for 72 hours at room temperature, embedded undecalcified in plastic and sectioned at 5 microns.  A polyclonal goat anti-mouse Alexa Fluor^® 488 secondary antibody was used at 1/700 dilution. The image shows a 1 micron thick z-projection of the chondrocytes in the proximal tibia growth plate.
