Anti-Neuropeptide Y antibody (ab30914)

Immunohistochemistical detection of Neuropeptide Y using ab30914 on  formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded rat brain sections. The image shows NPY staining in the cerebellum and frontal cortex of the rat brain. Formaldehyde antigen retrieval step: heat mediated in cittric acid ph6 buffer. Blocking step: 1% BSA for 10 mins at room temperature. ab30914 incubated at 1/1000 for 2 hours in TBS/BSA/azide. Secondary Antibody: anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to biotin (1/200)

Immunohistochemistical detection of Neuropeptide Y antibody (ab30914) on formaldehyde fixed paraffin-embedded human foetal wall sectionsAntigen retrieval step: Heat mediated. Buffer: Citric acid pH6. Permeabilization: None.  Blocking step: 1% BSA for 10 mins at 21°C. Primary antibody incubated at 1/1500 for 2 hours at 21°C in TBS/BSA/azide. Abcam's EXPOSE detection kit was used: ab80436. NB: In the submitted image arrowheads indicate positive features: red for ganglion cells in the Submucosa (Meissner's plexus), green for ganglion cells in the Muscularis externa (Auerbach's plexus). There is also a diffuse fine positivity throughout the smooth muscle cells of the externa.

IHC image of Neuropeptide Y staining in human cerebral cortex FFPE section, performed on a Bond^TM 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 ab30914, 1µg/ml, for 8 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.

ab30914 staining Neuropeptide Y in rat brain tissue section by IHC-FoFr (PFA perfusion fixed frozen sections). Rats were perfused with 4% PFA;  tissue was fixed overnight in the same fixative and were cryoprotected in 30% sucrose and cut using a cryostat. The sample was incubated with primary antibody dilution 1/3000 (PBS + 0.3% Triton X100) at 20°C for 18 hours. The Alexa Fluor^® 488 conjugated Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG dilution 1/1000 was used as secondary antibody. The image shows staining in the soma and processes of neurons with the expected distribution of Neuropeptide Y.
