General notes
For paraffin sections, we recommend pretreating with a pressure cooker, but trypsin and heat will also work well. Including 0.05% saponin during staining of paraffin sections may help reduce background. In one study ductal carcinomas in situ displaying large-cell, comedo growth type, were stained while none of 16 ductal carcinomas in situ of small-cell, papillary, or cribriform growth type were stained by this antibody.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human breast cancer tissue sections labeling ErbB2 / HER2 with ab16901 at 1/400 dilution. the tissue was fixed with formaldehyde; heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using a acetate buffer pH6. An undiluted goat anti-mouse HRP conjugated seconday antibody was used.

Overlay histogram showing LoVo cells stained with ab16901 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab16901, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in LoVo cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween used under the same conditions.
