Purified ab52987 staining p75 NGF receptor in paraffin embedded Human tonsil tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry. Antigen retrieval was by heat mediation using ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0). Samples were incubated with primary antibody at 3.3μg/ml. A ready to use Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) was used as the secondary antibody. Hematoxylin was used as a counterstain. Positive staining on germinal centre of human tonsil.

The differentiation capacity of purified CD34⁺ cells cultured for 3 days in the presence or absence of ALK5i was evaluated by performing immunofluorescence analysis assessing whether CD34⁺ cells had changed to cells expressing p75 and/or α-SMA. Expressions of CD34, p75 and α-SMA were assessed by immunofluorescence on day 0 (F-H), day 3 in SP+f medium (I-K), or day 3 in the same medium as (I-K) but with ALK5i (L-N).

Cultured re-aggregates were fixed in 4% PFA and embedded in paraffin. Sections (5 ∝m) were boiled in 0.01 M citrate (pH 6.0) with 0.1% Tween 20 for 10 min, washed three times in 0.1% Tween-20/PBS, transferred to blocking solution containing 5% BSA and 5% horse serum (Sigma) or goat serum (Invitrogen) in 0.1% Triton X-100/PBS for 1 hr, and incubated with primary antibody (p75 at 1/100 dilution) at 4°C overnight. After washing, the secondary antibody was added, and the sections were incubated for 2 hrs at room temperature. Microscopic images were obtained using a CCD camera (DP72, Olympus, Tokyo) mounted on a fluorescence microscope (BX60, or BX61VS-ASW, Olympus). Cultured cells on coverglasses were fixed in 4% PFA. Antigen retrieval was done by incubation with 100% methanol (-20°C) 10 min, and 0.3% Triton X-100 for 10 min.

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^®488) at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) (Black) was used as the isotype control, cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue) was used as the unlabeled control.

Immunohistochemical analysis of murine uterus tissue with adenomyosis, staining p75 NGF Receptor with ab52987.

Antigen retrieval was performed by heat mediation in citrate buffer (pH 6). Tissue was blocked with goat serum for 15 minutes before incubating with primary antibody (1/100) overnight at 4°C. A biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody and staining was detected using DAB.

ICC/IF image of ab52987 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1% BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1 hour to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab52987, 1 µg/mL) overnight at 4^oC. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1 hour. Alexa Fluo^® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1 hour. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.4 µM.
