      ICC/IF image of ab60343 stained MEF cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab60343, 1µg/ml, FITC conjugated) overnight at +4°C. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab60343, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rat IgG2a [aRTK2758] (ab18450, 2µg/1x106 cells) with secondary antibody DyLight® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (H+L) (ab98386) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a minimal signal in RAW 264.7 cells fixed with methanol (5 min) used under the same conditions.

      Please note that Abcam do not have data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback.

    Question

    Hello. I am hoping to buy a flow cytometry antibody that sees human F4/80 antigen on peripheral blood mononuclear cell in vitro derived macrophages. Will the antibody ab60343 or any other antibody available from your company see human F4/80 on this cell type?

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Antibody ab60343 is a well-characterized F4/80 clone, BM8. If the cells express F4/80, the antibody will detect it. For more references, see the datasheet for the unconjugated version, ab16911:

    Question

    I have Rat mAb to F4/80 (BM8) ab 60343-100.　I want to know more about my antibody. Lot number is 526242. Could you send me the expiry date for this product.
    I am planning to use this antibody for IHC-P mouse heart. I would love to know if there is special recommendation/protocol for its use in IHC-P.

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    We do not have expire dates for our products and you should be able to use the product without anydifficulty if kept at the recommend storage temperature for at least one year. Please rest assured that our "Abpromise" guarantees a free of charge replacement or refund should the product not work as expectedwithin 6 months of purchase. If you have purchased this product more than a year ago, I would suggest to still try and use it.

    Regarding IHC-P protocol, please refer to the datasheet application information.

    IHC-P: 1/50. (fixation in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 24 h; blocking with non-immunized goat serum; microwaved for 6 min in citrate buffer; splenic macrophages as positive control.)

    I have also attached our recommended IHC-P protocol link for your reference.

    https://www.abcam.com/index.html?pageconfig=resource&rid=11384

    I hope this information will beuseful and help resolve any uncertainties you may have over the expire date. If there isanything else thatI canhelpyou with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Have a nice day!
