IHC - Wholemount of Caenorhabditis elegans larvae labelling RNA polymerase II CTD repeat YSPTSPS (phospho S2) with ab5095. The sample was incubated with primary antibody (1/500 in PBS + 3% BSA + 0.1% Triton X-100) for 12 hours at 4°C. ab150077, an goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor® 488 (1/1000), was used as the secondary antibody.See Abreview
HeLa or MCF7 cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde in PEM buffer. The coverslip was incubated in blocking buffer of 5% powdered milk in TBS-T plus 0.02% sodium azide for 1 hour at room temperature. Blocking buffer was removed and primary antibody was added at a dilution of 1/500 and incubated overnight at 4 degrees celsius. The coverslips were then washed 4-5 times with blocking buffer for 5 minutes. Secondary antibody, goat anti-rabbit Alexa 594, was added at a dilution of 1/1000 and incubated at room temperature for one hour. From this point on coverslips were covered with foil to protect them from light. They were washed 5 times with TBS-T and then one time with PEM, for 5 minutes each wash. The coverslips were fixed 10-30 minutes in 4% formaldehyde in PEM buffer, then washed 3 times with PEM buffer for 5 minutes. 0.1M ammonium chloride in PEM buffer was added for 10 minutes to quench auto-florescence, and then slips were washed 2 times for 5 minutes in PEM followed by 3 washes for
ab5095 at 4ug/ml in ChIP of RAW macrophages. Nuclear cell lysate of mouse RAW macrophages (expressing c-fms) were formaldehyde cross linked and ChIP tested with ab5095. The nuclear preparation was frozen before sonication with a probe sonicator. All buffers used contained protease inhibitors. 3T3 fibroblasts (not expressing c-fms) were used as the negative control.See Abreview
Image courtesy of Human Protein Atlas ab5095 staining in human brain, showing staining of the Purkinje cells (in brown). Paraffin embedded brain tissue was incubated with ab5095 (1:900 dilution) for 30 mins at room temperature. Antigen retrieval was performed by heat induction in citrate buffer pH 6. ab5095 was tested in a tissue microarray (TMA) containing a wide range of normal and cancer tissues as well as a cell microarray consisting of a range of commonly used, well characterised human cell lines.

ICC/IF image of ab5095 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab5095, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was a goat anti-rabbit DyLight® 488 (IgG - H&L, pre-adsorbed) (ab96899) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
