    Immunohistochemistry was performed on both normal and cancer biopsies of deparaffinized human Brain tissue. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1:200 with a mouse monoclonal antibody recognizing Acetylcholinesterase (ab2803) or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP, followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.

    Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab2803 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% 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 (ab2803, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2b [PLPV219] (ab91366, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line). Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. The immunogen used to generate this antibody is not available. To our knowledge ab2803 has not previously been tested in monkey tissue nor in paraformaldehyde fixed tissue. How is ab2803 working for you? My suggestion is to run a control with one of the tested species - Human, Rabbit, Cow, Cat and Guinea pig. If you have any more questions, please contact us again.

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. To our knowledge, ab2803 has yet to be tested in this application. All tested applications are specified on Abcam product datasheets. If you decide to go ahead and purchase this product, please let us know how you get on and in return we will forward a reward of your choice, typically an Amazon gift voucher. The other Acetylcholinesterase antibodies that we currently have - ab2802, ab7396, ab7397 - have also not yet been tested in FACS.
