ab3420 staining PICK1 in mouse Hippocampal neurons by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence. Cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde and permeabilized in 0.1% saponin/PBS prior to blocking in 3% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody was diluted 1/300 in 3% BSA, 0.1% saponin /PBS and incubated with the sample for 18 hours at 4 °C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor® 455-conjugated Donkey anti-Rabbit polyclonal, diluted 1/1000.

IHC image of ab3420 staining in rat adult brain formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM 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 ab3420, 1µg/ml, 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.
ab3420 staining PICK1 in CHO cells stably transfected with Human PICK1 by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence. Cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde and permeabilized in 0.5% Triton X-100 prior to blocking in 10% serum for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody was diluted 1/1000 in PBS, 0.5% Triton, 10% FCS and incubated with the sample for 2 hours at °C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit polyclonal, diluted 1/500.See Abreview
