Application Notes
Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections. Suggested dilution: 1:200 for 30 minutes at 25°C. Heat induced epitope retrieval using Epitope Retrieval Solution pH 9.0. This is provided as a guide and users should determine their own optimal working dilutions. Technical note: When utilised in immunohistochemistry, the use of H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase has been shown to have a detrimental effect on the epitope recognized. It is, therefore, CRITICAL that blocking with H2O2 should be carried out after application of the primary antibody with solutions of no greater than 3 % . If these recommendations are not followed, staining intensity will be reduced. It is not recommended for use with PBS, since the use of PBS based wash buffers and possibly PBS based antibody diluents gives increased background staining and decreased staining intensity. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining techniques allow for the visualization of antigens via the sequential application of a specific antibody to the antigen (primary antibody), a secondary antibody to the primary antibody and an enzyme complex with a chromogenic substrate with interposed washing steps. The enzymatic activation of the chromogen results in a visible reaction product at the antigen site. The specimen may then be counterstained and coverslipped. Results are interpreted using a light microscope.
