Immunohistochemistry - TUNEL Assay Kit - HRP-DAB (ab206386)

TUNEL assay staining.

Gao Y et al used In situ Apoptosis Detection Kit / TUNEL assay ab206386 to analyze tissue sections from mouse ovaries.

a. Section treated with DNase I as positive control

b. Negative control without TdT enzyme

c and f. representative experimental images.

Nuclei stained with the TUNEL assay are brown. Sections were counter-stained with Methyl Green.

TUNEL assay staining of mouse ovary sections. Brown nuclei indicate DNA breaks (apoptosis), positive control (a) shows strong staining, negative control (b) lacks staining. Images (c, f) represent experimental results. Methyl Green counterstain visualizes all nuclei.

Immunohistochemistry - TUNEL Assay Kit - HRP-DAB (ab206386)

Using paraffin fixed human tonsil tissue,10 μm sections (1000X). A] Section processed and counter-stained with methyl green according to the manual. B] Counter-stain step was eliminated to more clearly illustrate the level of positive staining in the germinal centres of tonsil tissue. C] Section treated with DNase I in order to generate a positive control slide. Note all nuclei stain positive. The use of DNase I generates free 3'-OH groups on cellular DNA, these free 3'-OH groups are then labelled with biotin-nucleotide by the TdT in the kit. D] Negative control, the TdT enzyme step was eliminated thereby generating a negative slide.

Human tonsil tissue section at 1000X magnification, paraffin-fixed, 10 μm. Section processed and counter-stained with methyl green, showing stained germinal centers.

Immunocytochemistry - TUNEL Assay Kit - HRP-DAB (ab206386)

Using paraffin fixed human tonsil tissue, 10 μm sections (1000X)

Human tonsil tissue section at 1000X magnification, paraffin-fixed, 10 μm. Stain counter-step omitted to emphasize positive staining in germinal centers of tonsil tissue.
