Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures Immunohistochemistry: The GL1 antibody specific for mouse CD86 is recommended to test for immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections. Tissues tested were mouse spleen and thymus. The antibody stains lymphocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages. The isotype control recommended for use with this antibody is purified rat IgG2a (Cat. No. 559073). For optimal indirect immunohistochemical staining, the GL1 antibody should be titrated (1:10 to 1:50 dilution) and visualized via a three-step staining procedure in combination with polyclonal, biotin conjugated anti-rat Igs (multiple adsorbed) (Cat. No. 559286) as the secondary antibody and Streptavidin-HRP (Cat. No. 550946 ) together with the DAB detection system (Cat. No. 550880 ). A detailed protocol of the immunohistochemical procedure is available at our website: http://www.bdbiosciences.com/support/resources . The clone GL1 is not recommended for formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections.
Product Notices: Product Notices Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States. This antibody has been developed for the immunohistochemistry application. However, a routine immunohistochemistry test is not performed on every lot. Researchers are encouraged to titrate the reagent for optimal performance. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
