ab2893 staining gamma H2A.X in human mammary tissue by Immunohistochemistry (paraffin embedded sections).Paraffin-embedded blocks were sectioned and mounted on frost-free slides. The 3-10 µm sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated through a series of graded alcohols. Slides were washed with 1× PBS and endogenous peroxidases were blocked with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide in 1× PBS for 20 minutes at 25°C. After three 5 minutes washes in 1× PBS, slides were incubated in blocking solution (1× PBS with 0.1% Triton X-100, 3% bovine serum albumin) with 5% normal donkey serum for 10 minutes at 25°C. Control (no primary antibody) and experimental slides were incubated overnight at 4°C, respectively, in blocking solution alone or blocking solution with ab2893 at 1/1000 dilution. Biotin-conjugated secondary antibody 1/200 was added and slides were incubated at 25°C for 30 minutes and then washed three times with 1× PBS. The ABC Peroxidase Staining kit (1/100 dilution of each Rea

ICC/IF image of ab2893 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab2893, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG - H&L, pre-adsorbed (ab96899) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

ab2893 staining γH2AX (phospho S139) in HeLa cells treated with camptothecin (ab120115), by ICC/IF. Increased nuclear expression of γH2AX (phospho S139) correlates with increased concentration of camptothecin, as described in literature.The cells were incubated at 37°C for 3h in media containing different concentrations of ab120115 (camptothecin) in DMSO, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature.
