Recombinant Anti-Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1 antibody [EPR22291-247] (ab254222)

Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of the human kidney (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).

Panel A: merged staining of anti-Hexokinase 1 (ab150423, green; Opal™690), anti-Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1 (ab254222, gray; Opal™520) and anti-Aquaporin 2 (ab199975, red; Opal™570) on human kidney. Panel B: anti-Aquaporin 2 stained on collecting tubules. Panel C: anti-Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1 stained on proximal tubules. Panel D: anti-Hexokinase 1 stained on distal tubules and collecting tubules. Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody.

The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of ab150423 at 1/250 dilution (4.224 μg/ml), ab254222 at 1/4000 dilution (0.141 μg/ml) and ab199975 at 1/4000 dilution (0.152 μg/ml) 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.

Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins. DAPI (blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain.

Heat mediated antigen retrieval using sodium citrate buffer (10mM citrate pH 6.0 + 0.05% Tween-20).

Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

Exposure times.

Lanes 1-3: 3 minutes. Lanes 4-5: 5.5 seconds.

ab254222 was shown to specifically react with Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1 knockout cells. Wild-type and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab254222 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated 1 hour at room temperature at 1/1000 dilution and 1/200,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L), Peroxidase conjugated (ab97051) secondary antibody at 1/100,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. The blot was developed on a BIO-RAD^® ChemiDoc™ MP instrument using the ECL technique.

The molecular weight observed, and the expression profile are consistent with what have been described in the literature (PMID: 25495544, 16203874).
