Application Notes
Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections: 10 μg/mL (1/100). Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 10 μg/mL (1/100). Microwave pretreatment incitrate buffer is recommended for antigen retrieval in paraffin embedded tissues. Recommended Positive Control: Human tonsil. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
Protocol
Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections: 1) Deparaffinize slides in chloroform for 30min and rehydrate to distilled water2) Antigen retrieval: microwave treatment (700W) for 15min in 300ml 0. 01M citrate bufferpH 6. 0. 3) Incubate slides for 15min in 200ml methanol/4. 8ml 30%H2O24) Rinse slides 2x in distilled water and for 5min in TBS, pH 7. 55) Block with normal swine serum (NSS, Jackson Immunoresearch #014-000-121) diluted1: 10 in Tris buffered saline pH 7. 5, containing 0. 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA,Calbiochem). Cover sections with NSS and incubate for 15min in a humid chamber at roomtemperature (RT). 6) Remove serum from sections (do not rinse)7) Incubate with primary antibody diluted in TBS/0. 1%BSA, pH 7. 5 for 60min in a humidchamber at room temperature8) Rinse sections in TBS, pH 7. 5 for 5min, 2x9) Incubate with secondary antibody (rabbit anti mouse IgG+IgM-biotin, Dako E 0464)1: 400 diluted in TBS/0. 1%BSA, pH 7. 5 for 30min in a moist chamber, room temperature. Preincubate now StreptABComplex /HRPO in TBS/0. 1%BSA, pH 7. 5! 10) Rinse sections in TBS, pH 7. 5 for 5min, 2x11) Incubate with StreptABComplex /HRPO (DAKO, K 0377) for 30min in a humid chamber atroom temperature12) Rinse sections in TBS, pH 7. 5 for 5min, 2x13) DAB-staining Prepare 3,3 - diaminobenzidintetrahydrochloride (DAB) according themanufacturers instructions (e. g. DAB tablets) and incubate slides for 1-15 min. Check colorreaction to avoid overstaining. 14) Rinse sections in TBS, pH 7. 5 for 5min, 2x15) Counterstain in haematoxylin for 1min and rinse in cold tap water for 10min16) Mount slides with coverslips
