APPLICATION NOTES FOR MAB339

IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY

1) Fresh tissue (human) should be used (3-6 hours postmortem). The tissue should be immersion fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde/0.1% glutaraldehyde. Prepare 50 mm sections and store in cryoprotective solution at -15°C.

2) Sections should be incubated floating in suitable small vials.

3) Block endogenous peroxidase with 100 mmol/L Tris-HCl, 150 mmol/L NaCl, pH 7.4 (Buffer A) containing 3% H2O2 (v/v) and 10% methanol for 20 min at room temperature.

4) Wash sections in Buffer A. Incubate sections in Buffer A containing 5% fetal bovine serum (v/v) and 0.1-0.5% Triton X-100 (v/v).

5) Wash sections in Buffer A. Incubate sections with MAB339 (diluted 10-20 mg/mL in Buffer A containing 5% fetal bovine serum (v/v) and 0.1-0.5% Triton X-100 (v/v) for 12-36 hours at +4°C

6) Wash sections in Buffer A.

7) Detect with standard secondary antibody detection system (PAP, ABC, etc.).

8) Wash sections in Buffer A.

9) Mount sections on chrome alum-coated slides, dry, dehydrate, and apply coverslips.
