Overview

  • Product name

    Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR6136(2)]
    See all Iba1 primary antibodies

  • Description

    Rabbit monoclonal [EPR6136(2)] to Iba1

  • Host species

    Rabbit

  • Specificity

    In our hands, ab178680 detects a band at the correct molecular weight, 17 kDa, in human tissue and cell lines in WB. However it did not detect Iba1 in rat or mouse samples. Abcam recommends blocking in 3% milk for this product. Blocking in BSA gives high background.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR6136(2)] (ab178680)

    IHC image of Iba1 staining in human normal hippocampus formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. 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 ab178680, 1/500 dilution, 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.

     

    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.
