    Question

    Customer kindly contacted us regarding FC graph on ds (lists ab79976), customer has not been seeing the same peak shift as indicated in image. WB is turning up negative as well, but the antibody is working in ELISA. The epitope is listed as being masked in undenatured FGFr1a, customer checking that this is correctly stated.

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting Abcam.

    Thank you for pointing out the error in figure legends for ab824 and ab79976. The flow cytometry figure legends for the two antibodies have been switched on the online datasheet to correspond with the correct antibody.
    ab824: (https://www.abcam.com/fgfr1-antibody-m5g10-ab824.html)

    ab824 is specifically raised against the ectodomain FGFR1 beta isoform. Thus, the statement in the epitope description that the "epitope is masked in undenatured FGFr1a" refers to the specificity of this antibody for the FGFR1 beta isoform.

    Below are some general troubleshooting tips for flow cytometry, if you are experiencing issues with ab824 please reply with further sample, protocol and troubleshooting steps that have been taken. These will not only help me to fully understand the problem but are essential should further testing of this product be needed as well.

    Question

    schreibe grade Abreviews fuer ab49730 und ab79976 fuer den Test im Schwein, leider nicht geklappt.
    Gibt es Alternativen zu testen? Mit Testsample? Wurden andere AK schonmal auf Schwein getestet?

    Answer

    Vielen Dank für Ihre Anrufe.

    Wie versprochen habe ich alle unsere Langerin- bzw. TACD2-Antikörper danach geprüft, ob sie schon einmal mit Schwein getestet wurden - was leider bei keinem der Fall ist.

    Daher habe ich die Immunogene auf Sequenzähnlichkeit mit dem Langerin bzw. TACD2 des Schweins (SwissProt IDs B3FVQ1 bzw. F1S7A4) untersucht, und die BLAST-Recherchen ergaben folgendes:

    Langerin

    ab68434 (Immunogen Aminosäuren 1-20, MTVEKEAPDAHFTVDKQNIS): 83%

    https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=68434 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=68434).

    ab125476: 79%

    https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=125476 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=125476).

    https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=90959 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=90959).

    ab22111: viele Treffer mit unterschiedlichen Ähnlichkeiten (ca. 70%), daher nicht empfehlenswert zu testen

    ab64320: Die Immunogensequenz muss im Labor nachgefragt werden.

    https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=64320 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=64320).

    Für diese Antikörper kann ich Ihnen wie zuvor wieder jeweils einen Testrabatt anbieten, d.h. wenn Sieeinen der Antikörper kaufen, uns Ihre Ergebnisse mit Schwein per Abreview mitteilen, bekommen Sie wieder jeweils einen kosten Primärantikörper zum Dank (und die Abpoints nicht zu vergessen) - https://www.abcam.com/collaborationdiscount.

    Dies wäre vor allem für den TACD2- Antikörper ab65006 zu empfehlen, den wir schon in der Immunhistochemiegetestet haben und daher wissen, dass er wenigstensin der Anwendung funktioniert - auch wenn die Spezies Schwein noch nichtvalidiert wurde. Allerdings ist mit einer Sequenzähnlichkeit von 92%die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Kreuzreaktivität sehr hoch.Aus dem gleichen Grund würde sich auch ab64320 eignen; hier können wir aber gerne noch die Rückmeldung aus dem Labor abwarten. Alle anderen Antikörper wurden bisher noch nicht in der Immunhistochemie getestet, daher besteht hier ein doppeltes Risiko, da wir nicht wissen, ob die Antikörper für diese Anwendung geeignet sind.

    Sie können diese Antikörper auch wie besprochen kostenlos erhalten, wenn Sie sie mittels der Gutscheine von den vorherigen Testungen bestellen. Allerdings können wir in diesem Fall keine Garantie dafür übernehmen, wenn sienicht mit Schwein kreuzreagieren.

    Ich hoffe, diese Informationen helfen Ihnen weiter. Falls Sie einen Rabattcode erhalten möchten oder weitere Fragen haben, zögern Sie bitte nicht, sich wieder an mich zu wenden.

    Question

    We have checked the rest of the vials that we have, and all vials showed a proper and beautiful positivity (see attached file). Thank you for all your kind support.

    Glad to hear it! Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Question

    Here you can find an answer.

    Our staining protocol for Tacsd2 is 1:20 (ph6.0). As you can see in the attached file (A, C), we had a beautiful immunoreactivity on cancer nests as well as surrounding bile ducts. However, we didn’t have any immunoreacitivy this time by staining same protocol. We already tried several additional staining conditions (i.e., changing dilution, changing PH, changing tempreature) before contacting you, however, all staining conditions were completely negative to both cancer nests and surrounding bile ducts. We really hope that we can find a solution because this staining is a key part of our next coming paper.

    1) Can you please confirm the species of your liver tissue?

    a. Human liver tissue fixed by formalin.

    2) What antigen retrieval and permeabilization was performed? What blocking agent was used?

    a. As antigen retrieval we used a ready-to-use EDTA base pH 9.0 solution for 20 and 40 minutes (HIER). Additionally we did an antigen retrieval with a ready-to-use citrate based pH 6.0 solution. As a blocking agent we used a peroxidase block, which is included in the Bond Polymer Refine detection kit.

    3) What were the primary and secondary antibody concentrations and incubation times?

    a. The dilution of the primary antibody was 1/20 with an incubation time of 30 minutes. The secondary antibody was a ready-to-use antibody from Leica (Bond Polymer Refine Detection kit) with an incubation of 8 minutes

    4) Can you please send an image of your results or describe the staining you are seeing?

    a. We have checked immunoreactivity on human cholangiocellular carcinoma. As you can see in the attached file, Tacstd2 immunoreacitivy was seen on cancer nests as well as surrounding normal bile ducst (A). Figure B was a picture at this time showing negative for Tacstd2. We use intrahepatic bile ducts as an internal positive control (C). again this time, internal control was all negative (D). * A and C were the previous staining we had done in last year. B and D were the staining which we did this time.

    Answer

    Thank you for sending the data as well as all the protocol description and for explaining the experiments.

    Could you please let us know if you have tried both lots (GR41084-1 and GR41084-2) and with the same results of no staining?

    We have not received any other complaints for this antibody or these lots - it could maybe just have been a shipment issue.

    If all the 5 vials give the same results, then the best solution would be to replace them with another lot. The current lot is GR41084-3, but it is the only one in stock at the moment.

    I would advise to try only one vial and see if that works as before. If it does, I'd be happy to send 4 more vials.

    Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

    I look forward to hear back from you.

    Question

    We have a serious problem of your antibody; TACD2 (ab79976). I have been using this antibody since 2010 and I’m very happy with their immunoreactivity. I have optimized a perfect staining condition on paraffin liver tissue. Moreover I have a nice publication for Hepatology including TACD2 immunohistochemistry (in press).



    However, this time, we have a serious problem for this antibody. It didn’t work. We have already tried several conditions, different dilutions, different buffers, and different temperatures, however, it didn’t work. Internal positive control in the liver tissue, bile duct and ductules, were completely negative as well as liver tumors.



    We are satisfied with your antibodies and trust it completely, therefore, we bought 5 stucks of TACD2 this time. We did everything what we can do for getting a proper staining again, but it didn’t work. I am wondering whether this Lot number has some problems or not.

    Read More
    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry to hear that the new lot you have received is not producing good results.

    After checking our records, we have not had any other complaints about this antibody in recent years. It is possible that there may be an issue with the lot or vials you received. Have you tested all five vials of antibody? Did they all produce the same results?

    It would be very helpful if you could please provide some additional details of your protocol:

    1.) Can you please confirm the species of your liver tissue?

    2.)What antigen retrieval and permeabilization was performed? What blocking agent was used?

    3.) What were the primary and secondary antibody concentrations and incubation times?

    4.) Can you please send an image of your results or describe the staining you are seeing?

    I will be happy to help you further once I have this additional information.
