IHC image of CD62P staining in a section of frozen normal human tonsil*. 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 ab54427 at 5µg/ml. The section was then incubated with ab150117 (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), 1/1000)) (shown in green) for 1 hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM. The secondary-only control insert image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody. The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®. Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8). For IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antibody concentrations and incubation times.

This image was produced using the same antibody clone but in a different formulation ab54427, PBS and sodium azide.
