Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human brain (cerebrum) labelling BDNF with ab108319 at a concentration of 0.56µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with an OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was conducted for 32 mins at 100°C with ULTRA cell conditioning solution (CC1, pH 8.5). ab108319 Anti-BDNF antibody [EPR1292] was incubated at 37°C for 16 mins. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 35 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with unpurified ab108319 (1/1000) overnight at 4°C. Ab8245 (mouse anti-GAPDH; 0.05 ug/mL) was included as a loading control. Antibody binding was detected using goat anti-rabbit IgG IR-680 (green) and goat anti-mouse IgG IR800 (red) at a 1:10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx

IHC image of BDNF staining in a section of frozen normal human cerebral cortex performed on a Leica BOND^TM system using the standard protocol. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab108319, 1/200 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. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human bladder cancer tissue sections labeling BDNF with Purified ab108319 at 1:500 dilution (0.56 µg/ml). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0)

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa (Human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling BDNF with purified ab108319 at 1/30 dilution (10µg/ml) (red). Cells were fixed with 80% methanol. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluorr^® 488) secondary antibody was used at 1/2000 dilution. Isotype control - Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black). Unlabeled control - Cell without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue).
