Anti-beta Actin antibody [mAbcam 8226] - BSA and Azide free (ab264083)

IHC image of ab8226 staining beta Actin in human colon formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections*, performed on a Leica Bond. 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 ab8226, 0.1μg/ml working concentration, 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. No primary antibody was used in the secondary only control (shown on the inset).
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.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-Arginine, and Sodium Azide (ab8226).

Immunofluorescence using ab8226 at 5µg/ml incubated for 1 hour on Rat Colon Cancer cells.

Cells were fixed with ice-cold methanol for 5 mins, then for all following steps, permeabilised in TBS-T for 30 mins, blocked with 5% BSA for 30 mins and then washed in TBS-T. Secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG at 1/1000 incubated for 1 hour. Cells were counterstained with DAPI. Image at 400X magnification. All incubations were at room temperature.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-Arginine, and Sodium Azide.

The beta actin fibres can be seen arrayed around the edge of the cells.

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 ab8226, 0.5μg/ml working concentration, 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. No primary antibody was used in the secondary only control (shown on the inset).
