Ubiquitin Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry
Description: This polyclonal antibody detects the presence of intracellular ubiquitinated filamentous inclusions in the periphery of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease and lewy bodies in Parkinsion's disease.
Primary Antibody
|
Name: Ubiquitin Antibody |
|
Clone: Rabbit polyclonal |
|
Supplier: Dako |
|
Catalog Number: Z-0458 |
|
Dilution: 1:500 using IHC-TekTM Antibody Diluent (Cat# IW-1000 or IW-1001) to reduce background and unspecific staining and serum blocking step is NOT needed. |

Antigen Retrieval
| Device: IHC-TekTM Epitope Retrieval Steamer Set (Cat# IW-1102) |
| Buffer/pH value: IHC-TekTM Epitope Retrieval Solution (Cat# IW-1100) |
| Heat/Cool Temperature: 95-100 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: Cytoplasmic |
| Images: Search image |
Additional Information:
| Species Reactivity: Mouse, rat |
| Fixation: Formalin fixed paraffin sections |
| Positive Control: Brain tissue of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease |
| Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control, 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 |
