Western blot - Anti-Olig2 antibody [EPR2673] (ab109186)

Different batches of ab109186 were tested on Mouse brain lysate at 0.1 µg/ml. 15 µg of lysate was loaded in each lane. Bands observed at 32 kDa.

All lanes: Western blot - Anti-Olig2 antibody [EPR2673] (ab109186)

Predicted band size: 32 kDa

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Olig2 antibody [EPR2673] (ab109186)

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Mouse cerebrum tissue labelling NeuN with ab177487 at 1/100 dilution (B), SOX1 with ab242125 at 1/100 dilution (C) and Olig2 with ab109186 at 1/100 dilution (D). Anti-Rabbit and Mouse Polymer HRP 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 solution 2) for 20mins. Heat mediated antigen retrieval (Leica ER2, PH9.0, 20 minutes) was used in between rounds of tyramide signal amplification to remove the antibodies from the previous round, to avoid any cross-reactivity.

Panel A: merged staining of anti- NeuN (green, Opal™520), anti-SOX1 (red, Opal™570) and anti- Olig2 (yellow, Opal™690).

Panel B: anti-NeuN stained for neurons.

Panel C: anti-SOX1 stained on neural progenitors.

Panel D: anti-Olig2 stained on oligodendrocyte.

The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of ab177487, ab242125 and ab109186 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

ab109186 staining Olig2 in primary hippocampal rat neurons/glia, (obtained from Neuromics, cat. no. PC35101), DIV14. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab109186 at 1μg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Also suitable in cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min).

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% Paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% TritonX-100 permeabilized rat primary glia cell cells labelling Olig2 with ab109186 at 1/100 (1.23 μg/mL) dilution, followed by ab150077 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) antibody at 1/1000 dilution (2 μg/mL) (Green). Confocal image showing nuclear staining in rat primary glia cell. Confocal scanning Z step was set as 0.3 μm followed by image processing with maximum Z projection. ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin mouse monoclonal antibody - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) was used to counterstain tubulin at 1/200 dilution (2.5 μg/mL) (Red). The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

Secondary antibody only control: Secondary antibody is ab150077 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) at 1/1000 dilution (2 μg/mL).
