Relevance
ACTH occurs in cells of the anterior pituitary and in neurons in brain. It regulates the corticosteroid production in the adrenal cortex. Beta endorphin and Met enkephalin are endogenous opiates. MSH (melanocyte stimulating hormone) increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. -

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human pituitary gland labelling ACTH with ab233954 at 1/5000 dilution (0.214 μg/ml) (B), Luteinizing Hormone beta with ab221494 at 1/4000 dilution (0.258 μg/ml) (C) and Growth Hormone with ab155276 at 1/5000 dilution (0.044 μg/ml) (D). Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody, and DAPI was used for a nuclear counter stain. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins.
Panel A: merged staining of anti-Growth Hormone (gray; Opal™690), anti-ACTH (green; Opal™520) and anti-Luteinizing Hormone beta (red; Opal™570) on human pituitary gland.
Panel B: anti-ACTH stained on corticotrophs.
Panel C: anti-Luteinizing Hormone beta stained on gonadotrophs.
Panel D: anti-Growth Hormone stained on somatotrophs.The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of ab155276, ab233954, and ab221494 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.
The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.
