Immunohistochemical detection of Neuron specific beta III Tubulin using ab78078 on formaldehyde fixed dogfish/catshark PNS tissue sections. Antigen retrieval step: heat mediated in citric acid. Blocking: 1% BSA for 10 mins @ rt°C. Primary antibody ab78078 incubated at 1/1250 for 2 hours. Secondary Antibody: anti mouse IgG conjugated to biotin @ 1/200 This is a composite image of neuronal cell bodies and fibres; the upper image uses coloured arrowheads to indicate positive PNS components: cell bodies (black), L/S (green) and T/S (red) nerve fibres of what appear to be three Ganglia. Note that the L/S fibres do not appear as well-stained as the T/S fibres. The lower image shows what appears to be a linear sequence of single nerve cells and their processes within the core of a gill.
Immunohistochemistical detection of Neuron specific beta III Tubulin using antibody (ab78078) on formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded human medulla oblongata sections. Antigen retrieval step: Heat mediated in citric acid HIER buffer. Permeabilization: No. Blocking step: 1% BSA for 10 mins @ rt°C. Primary antibody dilution 1/250 incubated for 2 hours in TBS/BSA/azide. Secondary antibody: anti Mouse IgGs conjugated to biotin (1/200). This section was cut from an anonymous autopsy P.wax block that is over 20 yrs old, so I would expect variable positivity when compared with more recently sampled tissues (giving higher dilution factors, such as I obtained with fresh mouse/rat CNS blocks.) Transverse-cut axons stain very intensely longitudinal nerve processes and cell bodies are not so heavily stained but are still easily seen.See Abreview

Primary Antibody Dilution: 1/1000 for 1 hour in TBS/BSA/azide. Secondary Antibody: anti Mouse IgG conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 594 (1/1000). The image submiteed here shows cervical spinal cord before closure.See Abreview
IHC-FoFr image of Beta III tubulin (ab78078) staining on rat hippocamus sections. The sections used came from animals perfused fixed with Paraformaldehyde 4%, in phosphate buffer 0.2M. Following postfixation in the same fixative overnight, the brains were cryoprotected in sucrose 30% overnight. Brains were then cut using a cryostat and the immunostainings were performed using the ‘free floating’ technique.See Abreview
ab78078 staining a p8 mouse RMS neuroblast explant embedded in a 3D Matrigel matrix by ICC/IF. The explant was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 45 minutes at room temperature and permeabilized with 0.3%Triton X. The explant was then blocked with 15% goat serum for 30 minutes at 21°C. The cultured explant was then stained with ab78078 at 1/2000 in 0.3% TritonX with 0.1x PBS and 15% goat serum for 16h at 4°C. An Alexa Fluro 488 goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody at 1/1000 was used as the secondary antibody. Beta III tubulin (which stains the axons) can be observed in green and the nuclei can be obbserved in blue (DAPI).See Abreview

IHC image of ab78078 staining in mouse 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 ab78078, 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.
Immunohistochemistical detection of Neuron specific beta III Tubulin antibody [2G10] using ab78078 in formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded quail embryo eye sections. Antigen retrieval step: heat mediated in citric acid pH6 buffer. Blocking step: 1% BSA for 10 mins @ rt°C Primary antibody incubated at 1/1250 for 2 hours in TBS/BSA/azide. Secondary antibody: anti-Mouse IgG conjugated to biotin used at 1/200. In this image, the lining cells of the hyaloid artery are positive. Excellent neural component specificity: even small fibres outside of the cartilage model of the orbit are clearly demonstrated.See Abreview
Overlay histogram showing SH-SY5Y stained with ab78078 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 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 (ab78078, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1](ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
