Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing wild-type THP1 (green line) and ANPEP knockout THP1 cells (ab273759) stained with ab20136 (red line). The cells were incubated in 1x PBS containing 10μg/ml human IgG and 10% normal goat serum to block FC receptors and non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab20136) (1x10⁶ in 100μl at 1 μg/ml) for 30 min at 4°C.

The secondary antibody Goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488, pre-adsorbed) (ab150117) was used at 1/2000 for 30 min at 4°C.

Isotype control antibody was mouse IgG2aκ (ab18413) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody (wild-type THP1 cells - black line; ANPEP knockout THP1 cells ab273759 - grey line). Unlabelled sample was also used as a control (this line is not shown for the purpose of simplicity).

Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter.

Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS), then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes, and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
