This image shows a single primary hippocampal neuron from a primary culture overexpressing GFP stained with ab6556 at a dilution of 1/2000. This picture was kindly supplied as part of the review submitted by one of our customers.

This image shows IF using GFP-expressing glial cells (green) transplanted into lesioned rat spinal cord. This was detected using ab6556 anti-GFP antibody and a FITC conjugated secondary antibody. Axons are labelled red by an antibody to neurofilament-200 and a rhodamine secondary. ab6556 reveals the morphology of the transplanted cells to such an extent that their close interactions with axons are obvious. The top picture shows an optical section from a confocal microscope scan showing how a GFP cell wraps around a branched axon travelling longitudinally. The bottom picture consists of an optical section from another confocal scan showing a GFP cell enveloping an axon in the transverse plane. Review by Andrew Toft submitted 19 May 2004.

Specific labeling of a Trk-GFP fusion protein being synthesized on ER in sympathetic neurons infected with an adenovirus carrying the construct. The gold is associated with the ER membranes. This was done using a 1/5000 dilution of affinity purified antibody (ab6556). The tissue section was fixed and embedded using durcupan resin.
