Recombinant Anti-Ki67 antibody [SP6] (ab16667)

Tissue Microarrays stained for "Anti-Ki67 antibody [SP6]” using "ab16667" at 1/200 dilution (0.145 μg/ml) in immunohistochemical analysis. This table provides a detailed overview of positive (tick mark) and negative (cross mark) staining per sample type tested. Taking mouse spleen tissue as an example, Ki67 is barely expressed or the expression level is very low in normal liver tissue, and the IHC test result is usually negative. While the expression of Ki67 can be upregulated in the proliferating cells of spleen tissue, and the IHC test result could be positive.
The sections were pre-treated using Heat mediated antigen retrieval using ab93678 (citrate buffer, pH 6.0). The sections were incubated with ab16667 at +4°C overnight followed by a ready to use Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP polymer) (ab214880). Hematoxylin was used as the counter stain.
