Anti-Chromogranin A antibody (ab45179) at 1/10000 dilution (unpurified) + PC-12 cell lysate at 10 µgSecondaryHRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG at 1/2000 dilutionObserved band size : 86 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
ICC/IF image of unpurified ab45179 stained PANC-1 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 (ab45179, 1/50 dilution) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899, DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) 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.
Unpurified ab45179 staining Chromogranin A in pig small intestine tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at 21°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/750 in blocking buffer) for 2 hours at 21°C. A Biotin-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/250) was used as the secondary antibody.See Abreview
Chromogranin A staining on monkey pancreas sections. The sections were subjected to heat mediated epitope retrieval using citric acid (pH 6) and blocked using 1% BSA for 10 mins at 21°C. Unpurifeid ab45179 was used at a dilution of 1/750 using TBS/BSA/Azide for 2 hours at 21°C. (Red arrowheads indicate extra Islet positive cells).See Abreview
