IHC image of CD4 staining in a section of frozen normal Mouse Spleen.

The section was fixed using 10% formaldehyde in 1XPBS for 10 minutes. No antigen retrieval step was performed prior to staining. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab183685 (Rabbit monoclonal [EPR19514] to CD4) at 1/200 and ab243840 at 1µg/ml, to show the distinct staining of B cells and T cells. The section was then incubated with ab150165 (Goat Anti-Rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preabsorbed, (Shown in green) 1/1000) and ab150080 (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor®594) (Shown in red) 1/1000) for 1 hour at room temperature.
