The antibody was used to determine periaxin expression from myelinating cells in mouse tibial nerve cryosections. A control stain on intact sciatic nerve showed correct localization and specificity to peripheral myelin was confirmed by staining of adult mouse corpus callosum (CNS myelin), which was negative.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunohistochemistry

Sample

Intact adult mouse sciatic nerve, 4% PFA perfusion and 2 hour post fix, cryosectioned. Brain used as negative control.

Primary Incubation

1:200 dilution into Vector Labs M.O.M. basic kit diluent buffer, over night at 4 degrees C

Blocking Agent

Vector Labs M.O.M. basic kit blocking reagent, per kit protocol

Secondary Incubation

AlexaFluor 647 goat anti-rabbit IgG at 1:500 in PBS, 1 hour at room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Zeiss LSM 780 confocal microscope

Results Summary

Periaxin was readily detectable and displayed the expected staining pattern with no problem due to background. Corpus callosum did not stain, confirming the specificity of the antibody to periaxin for IHC-IF applications, which is a component of PNS myelin. Image shows staining of longitudinal sciatic nerve section.

The Bad

No complaints.

The Bottom Line

The antibody worked well with the protocol described together with the imaging system used.
