Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human pancreatic cancer tissue labeling Fibroblast activation protein, alpha with ab207178 at 1/250 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution. Cell surface staining on stromal cells of human pancreas cancer is observed [PMID:2371645].

Counter stained with Hematoxylin.

Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution.

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Different batches of ab207178 were tested on IMR-90 (Human lung fibroblast cell line) lysate at 1.0 µg/ml. 15 µg of lysate was loaded in each lane. Bands observed at 95 kDa.
