Immunohistochemical analysis of AKR1C1 in paraffin embedded MDA-MB-468 xenograft, using ab96087 at a 1/500 dilution.

Anti-AKR1C1/AKR1C2 antibody (ab96087) at 1/1000 dilution + Human AKR1C1 full length protein (ab93730) at 0.01 µgSecondaryGoat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) preadsorbed (ab97080) at 1/5000 dilutiondeveloped using the ECL techniquePerformed under reducing conditions.Exposure time : 10 seconds

ICC/IF image of ab96087 stained SKNSH 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 ab96087 at 5µg/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti- rabbit (ab96899) IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 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.
