CD54 (ICAM-1) Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry
Description: The intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), also referred to as CD54, is an integral membrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily and plays a role in the cell adhesion. CD54 is found on resting (weak) and activated (moderate) lymphocytes and monocytes.
Primary Antibody
|
Name: CD54 (ICAM-1) Antibody |
|
Clone: ICAM-1, Mouse anti-Rat |
|
Supplier: BD Pharmingen |
|
Catalog Number: 550302 |
|
Dilution: 1:50 using IHC-TekTM Antibody Diluent (Cat# IW-1000 or IW-1001) to reduce background and unspecific staining and serum blocking step is NOT needed. |
|
Incubation Time/Temp: 60min/room temperature |
Antigen Retrieval
| Device: Incubator |
| Buffer/pH value: IHC-TekTM Proteinase K Solution (Cat# IW-1101) |
| Heat/Cool Temperature: 37 ºC/room temperature |
| Heat/Cool Time: 20 minutes/20 minutes |
Detection Methods
| Standard Method: ABC Method or LSAB Method |
| Enhanced Method: Polymeric Methods |
Chromogen Substrate
| Reagent: DAB |
| Incubation Time/Temperature: 1-3 minutes/room temperature |
Counterstain
| Reagent: Mayer's Hematoxylin |
| Staining Time: 30 seconds |
Results:
| Staining Pattern: Membrane/cytoplasmic of endothelial cells |
| Images: Search image |
Additional Information:
| Tissue Type: Tonsil, liver, kidney |
| Fixation: Formalin fixed paraffin sections, or acetone fixed frozen sections |
| Positive Control: Tonsil, liver, kidney |
| Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control or absorption control |
| Blocking: 2-5% normal serum to reduce unspecific background staining; 0.5-3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity; avidin/biotin to block endogenous biotin activity if necessary |
Notes:
Not need to perform antigen retrieval on acetone fixed frozen sections |
