IHC image of beta actin staining in human colon formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section*. The section was pre-treated using pressure cooker heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) for 30mins. The section was incubated with ab8224, 3µg/ml overnight at +4°C. A goat anti-mouse HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (ab6789, 1/2000 dilution) was used for 1hr at room temperature. The section was counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.*Tissue obtained from the Human Research Tissue Bank, supported by the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre

Immunohistochemistical detection of beta Actin using antibody [mAbcam 8224] - Loading Control on formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded rat cerebellum sections. Antigen retrieval step: heat mediated Citric acid pH6 buffer. Permeabilization: No. Blocking step: 1% BSA for 10 mins @ rt°C. Primary antibody dilution 1/1000 for 2 hours in TBS/BSA/azide. Secondary Antibody: anti Mouse Igs conjugated to biotin (1/200). beta Actin appears to be particularly enriched not only in the glomeruli of the Granule cell layer (indicated by red arrowheads ) but also in Microglia (indicated by green arrowheads); All positive microglia appear to be ramified thus not presumed to be activated.See Abreview
ICC/IF image of ab8224 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 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 (ab8224, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 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.
Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab8224 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab8224, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was a goat anti-mouse DyLight® 488 (IgG; H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was Mouse IgG3 [MG3-35] (ab18394, 1µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
Immunofluorescence analysis of Human Panc-1 cells, staining beta Actin with ab8224. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% donkey serum in PBST for 1 hour at 22°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/75 in 1% donkey serum in PBST) for 1 hour at 22°C. A DyLight®488-conjugated donkey anti-mouse polyclonal IgG (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody.See Abreview
