When a rabbit-derived primary antibody is used to stain an antigen of interest, an anti-rabbit secondary antibody is necessary to visualize the rabbit anti-mouse signal.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Pre-fixed frozen mouse small intestine tissue section

Primary Incubation

1:100 in 1% BSA in PBS overnight at 4 degrees

Blocking Agent

5% goat serum in 1% BSA in PBS

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-rabbit AlexaFluor488 was used at 1:200 in PBS and was incubated on the section at 1 hour at room temperature in the dark

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Zeiss LSM 700 confocal

Results Summary

The rabbit anti-mouse Ki67 stain here is visualized using the goat anti-rabbit AF488 antibody. The stain is also very clean with little background and no apparent staining artifacts.

Additional Notes

An intestinal tumor is shown in the image, which is why the Ki67 stain is so widespread
