Anti-MUC1 antibody [HMFG1 (aka 1.10.F3)] (ab70475)

ab70475 staining MUC1 in MCF7 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 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 ab70475 at 10µg/ml and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150117, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

IHC image of MUC1 staining in human normal colon formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section*, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab70475, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

ab70475 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed for 10 minutes and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal Goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1hour at room temperature to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab70475 at 10µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (pseudo-colored green) was ab150117 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1hour at room temperature. ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594) was used as a counterstaining (pseudo-colored red) at a 1/250 dilution for 1hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM for 1hour at room temperature.

ab70475 staining MUC1 in human breast cancer cell line T47D by Immunocytochemistry. Cells were fixed in methanol, blocked using 10% serum for 5 minutes at 25°C and then incubated with ab70475 at a 1/100 dilution for 1 hour at 25°C. The secondary used was an undiluted HRP conjugated goat anti-mouse polyclonal.
