Antibodies immunocytochemistry

Remember, all experiments, including multiple P antibody experiments, begin with single 1° antibody immunocytochemistry. Because performing multiple 1° antibody experiments can be complex due to antibodies that potentially interact, it is absolutely necessary to demonstrate each antibody works singly thus, begin with single 1° antibody experiments.

One particularly novel carrier was reported to consist of 50-70 nm colloidal gold particles of the type often used in cytochemical labeling techniques for microscopy (Pow and Crook, 1993) (Chapter 24). Adsorption of peptide antigens onto gold and subsequent injection of the complex into rabbits in an adjuvant mixture resulted in rapid production of antibody of extremely high titer. The resultant antibodies could be used in immunocytochemistry at dilutions from l-in-250,000 down to l-in-1,000,000, which is orders-of-magnitude beyond the dilutions typically used with lower-titer antibodies.

Immunocytochemical methods have been widely applied to visualize proteins, carbohydrates, or lipids in sectioned material. The advantage of using immunocytochemistry is to be able to localize the molecules of interest within the tissue. Several procedures have been described. Basically, these procedures can be split into four main steps that are described in subheadings (1) tissue preparation, (2) the primary antibodies, (3) the visualization of the target, and (4) enhancement of signals with antibody complexes. In addition, a protocol for alkaline phosphatase will be presented in detail in Subheading 5. The terms primary and secondary antibodies refer to the order in which they are applied to the target. The immunocytochemical procedures are not limited to sectioned...

There are cnrrently two sources of monoclonal antibodies to bromodeoxynridine Becton Dickinson Immunocytochemistry Systems and Boehringer Mannheim Biochemicals. Both antibodies have worked eqnally well for the anthor, and both are directed against single-stranded DNA, therefore necessitating the removal of DNA-associated histones and denaturation of the donble-stranded DNA.

Most often, the ISH phase is done last because some antigens may be destroyed by the high temperature and protein digestion of ISH. Conversely, the antibodies used for immunocytochemistry may have some RNase carryover that will diminish transcript targets. The addition of RNase inhibitors, therefore, may be warranted (12).
