Overview

  • Product name

    Mouse specific HRP/DAB (ABC) Detection IHC Kit
    See all HRP/DAB detection kit kits

  • Product overview

    Mouse specific HRP/DAB (ABC) IHC Detection Kit ab64259 is a complete kit to detect a primary antibody raised in mouse, using HRP-labeled-streptavidin and a biotinylated anti-mouse secondary antibody.


    It is supplied with a full protocol and with peroxidase and protein blocking reagents, biotinylated secondary antibody, streptavidin-HRP, and DAB substrate.


    In the method:
    - a sample is incubated with an unconjugated primary antibody specific to the target antigen
    - a biotinylated secondary antibody then binds to the primary antibody
    - HRP-labeled streptavidin then binds to the secondary antibody
    - the HRP produces a brown colored substance at the site of primary antibody binding by reacting with DAB.

  • Notes

    For alternative streptavidin-biotin IHC detection kits see:
    - Anti-Mouse / anti-Rabbit HRP-DAB IHC kit ab64264

This IHC kit is very easy to use, I get very clear images the first time I use it. It basically has everything you need for IHC staining except mouse primary antibody. Using counter staining will make the image look sharper, please be aware that the kit does not have hematoxylin for nuclear counter staining.

Question

I've purchased Dab chromogen and stained only 14 slides, each slide has only one slice of
tissue ie each slide take only one drop of dab chromogen and then I
found that it ended up and could not complete the rest of the slides
of my own research.
Is
this is normal??? please solve the problem, I am most in need of it
and thank you.

Answer

I understand you used all of the 0.5 ml of pure 50x DAB chromogen.
As stated in the protocol booklet, the DAB chromogen must be diluted 50 times before being applied on the samples. See step 8 on page 6 of the protocol booklet: "Add 30 μl (1 drop) DAB Chromogen to 1.5 ml (50 drops) of DAB Substrate, mix by swirling and apply to tissue".

To terminate the kit 64259, I would suggest to order the DAB substrate kit ab94665 (https://www.abcam.com/ab94665).

Question

I have purchased the above product #ab64259 for use with IHC-P protocol and a mouse primary antibody. However, I would now like to use our own anti-mouse-HRP secondary antibody instead of the one in this kit, and then just use the DAB substrate/chromogen part.

Read More
Answer


I have contacted the lab who have developed this kit. They have confirmed that you are free to use your own anti-mouse HRP secondary in place of the Biotinylated Goat anti-mouse antibody and Streptavidin Peroxidase supplied in the kit, as scientifically that would also work to detect the mouse primary antibody. However, the protocol recommendations stated on the ab64259 datasheet are optimized for the components included in the kit, so if you were to use slightly different components (different secondary antibody), you would have to be responsible for determining the optimal conditions.

Question

Thank you for the reply. I have two more comments about this product:

1: The protocol calls for hematoxylin, but the kit does not supply any, nor does the protocol specify a concentration. Please either supply hematoxylin or state in the product description that the user will need to supply their own hematoxylin and a concentration to use.

2: The protocol calls for specifically measured amounts of DAB chromogen and DAB substrate, but these reagents are supplied in bottles with squeeze tops, making it impossible to pipet out the required amounts. In order to get these specific amounts, the squeeze caps have to be physically ripped off. Please remove the squeeze caps from these reagents.

Answer

Thank you again for your feedback and comments.

We have now added hematoxylin to the catalog: ab128990.

Question

Bonjour,

Tout d'abord merci pour votre aide.

J'ai effectué les tests avec votre kit de révélation pour la NGF et la TRkA avec les paramètres suivant :

- 3*5min a 600w dans un tampon à pH9

- 30 min de peroxydase

- 1h de serum block

- 30 min anticorps primaire

- 15 min biotine

- 15 min streptadivine

- DAB, Hematoxyline etc.

Nous avons tester sur le cerveau, sur la peau et sur de la muqueuse gingival. Nous avons un marquage mais nous ne sommes pas sur du résultat car dans la muqueuse l'épithélium est intégralement marqué. Est ce normal ?
De plus notre contrôle négatif, qui vient de chez vous,(ab47472) à aussi un léger font.

Les conditions si-dessus sont celle qui on donné le meilleur résultat. Pouvons nous vous envoyer les coupe afin que vous nous donniez votre avis ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Answer

Merci pour votre émail.

Je suis désolée que les résultats ne sont pas claires.

Je vais volontiers investiguer ces résultats et essayer de donner des conseils pour améliorer les images. Si un de nos produits serait défectueux, nous le remplacerons en accord avec notre garantie.

Pour mieux comprendre la problème, est-ce que vous pouvez s'il vous plaît m'envoyer les images annotées de ces résultats? C'est plus pratique si vous pouvez nous envoyer les images, et non les slides.

Aussi, pourriez vous s'il vous plait dire quels anticorps exactement vous avez utilisés pour les marquages avec quels kits? C'était le ab6199 ou le ab3125?

Est-ce que vous avez utilisé des coupes paraffine de souris? Quel sérum est-ce que vous avez utilisé pour le blocage? Est-ce que vous avez aussi utilisé le protéine block du kit?

Je me réjouis de votre réponse.
