Product details:
AEC Substrate kit (ab64252) for use in IHC using HRP / peroxidase detection. Ready to use formulation.
Previously called AEC Substrate System (Ready to Use).
IHC protocol suitable for use with AEC Substrate Kit (ab64252)
1. Deparaffinize and rehydrate formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue section.
2. Use appropriate
antigen retrieval buffer or enzyme
(primary antibody dependent) to treat sections. Wash 3 times in buffer.
3. Add enough
hydrogen peroxide blocking solution
to cover the sections. Incubate for 10 minutes. Wash 2 times in buffer. If necessary, use
avidin biotin blocking
4. Apply
protein block
(or normal serum from same species as secondary antibody) and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature to block nonspecific background staining. Wash once in buffer.
5. Apply primary antibody in
antibody diluent
and incubate.
6. Wash 4 times in buffer. Incubate slide with
biotinylated secondary antibody
HRP polymer secondary antibody
and skip step 7). Wash 4 times in buffer.
7. Apply
streptavidin-HRP
and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
8. Rinse 4 times in buffer.
Place slide in
DAB substrate
AEC Substrate ab64252 and incubate until desired color is achieved (1-10 mins, recommended 10 mins for AEC)
. Rinse 4 times in buffer.
9. Add enough drops of
hematoxylin
to cover the section. Incubate for 1 minute.
10. Rinse 7-8 times in tap water. Add
mounting medium
to cover the section.
