Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16588] (ab178846)

IHC image of Iba1 staining in rat normal brain formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab178846, 1/2000 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16588] (ab178846)

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of2% paraformaldehyde fixed U937 (human histiocytic lymphoma cell line) cells labeling Iba1with ab178846 at 1/160 dilution (red line). Secondary antibody used is a goat anti rabbit IgG (FITC) at 1/150 dilution. The isotype control is rabbit monoclonal IgG (black line). The unlabeled control is cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies (blue line).

Western blot - Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16588] (ab178846)

Different batches of ab178846 were tested on THP-1 (Human monocytic leukemia monocyte) lysate at 0.02 µg/ml. 15 µg of lysate was loaded in each lane. Bands observed at 15 kDa.
