Anti-Metallothionein antibody [UC1MT] (ab12228)

ab12228 staining human uterus tissue at 10 ug/ml using IHC-P.

ICC/IF image of ab12228 stained HeLa 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 (ab12228, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. 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.

Overlay histogram showing HeLA cells stained with ab12228 (red line). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab12228, 1µg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight^® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was Mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.

The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab12228, 10µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight^® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG - H&L, pre-adsorbed (ab96879) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. 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.

ab12228 staining catfish kidney tissue sections by IHC-Fr.  Sections were acetone fixed and blocked with a commercial blocking agent prior to incubation with the primary antibody, diluted 1/50, for 16 hours at 4°C.  An Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody, diluted 1/1000, was used as the secondary.
