ab18723 staining Doublecortin in primary hippocampal rat neurons/glia, (obtained from Neuromics, cat. no. PC35101), DIV14. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab18723 at 5 µg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

IHC-Fr image of Doublecortin staining in Mouse adult dentate gyrus sections using ab18723(1:100). The sections were fixed in paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using 1x TBST. The sections were then blocked using 10% donkey serum for 1 hour at 25°C. ab18723 was diluted 1:100 and incubated with the sections for 12 hours at 25°C. The secondary antibody used was Donkey anti-rabbit conjugated to Cy3 Dye (1:500). DAPI was used to stain the nuclei.

IHC image of ab18723 staining in Mouse 8 weeks brain formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BOND^TM system using the standard protocol F (with no post primary). The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab18723, 0.1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. Secondary-only control image is shown as insert.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Doublecortin expression in the dentate gyrus of a 1 month-old mouse brain. Doublecortin staining using ab18723 (1/500) in the dentate gyrus of a 1 month-old mouse brain. The mouse has been perfused with paraformaldehyde 4% (50ml). After dissection, the brain has been incubated overnight in sucrose 20%, embedded in OCT and cryosectioned (10 µm). No antigen retrieval was used. The secondary antibody used was a non-Abcam Goat anti-rabbit Alexa488.

ab18723 staining 6 week rat brain tissue dentate gyrus (DG) by IHC-P using rabbit-specific EXPOSE IHC detection kit (ab80437). Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections were pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval (using a pressure cooker) with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) for 30 mins. The section was incubated with ab18723, 0.1µg/ml, for 1 hour at room temperature. DAB was used as the chromogen and the section was counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

ab18723 at 1/200 staining mouse E18 body T/S spinal cord tissue sections by IHC-P. The tissue was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retireval step was perfomed before incubation with the antibody for 24 hours. A biotinylated goat antibody was used as the secondary.

Doublecortin antibody (ab18723; green) labeling cell extensions from rat embryos consistent with dendrite morphology in 4 day old cultures. Preincubation of ab18723 with its immunising peptide (ab19804) quenched immunostaining (see review).

Dorsal root ganglion explants were dissected from 16 day-old rat embryos and cultured for 4 days in vitro with Neurobasal Medium containing 10% fetal calf serum and B27 supplement. Immunocytochemistry: All steps were performed in PBS. Cells or explants were fixed in 4% PFA for 15min, permeabilised with 0.1% TX100 for 10min and blocked with 5% BSA, 0.1% TX100 for 45min. ab18723 was incubated at 5µg/ml for 12h in 5% BSA, 0.1% TX100 at 4°C. For peptide blocking experiments preincubation of the peptide (ab19804; 250µg/ml) and antibody (5µg/ml ) was performed for 2h at 37°C. Cultures were washed (3x) of primary antibody solution. Goat anti-rabbit AlexaFluor 488 was used as secondary antibody (1/400) in 5% BSA, 0.1% TX100 for 2h at R
