Product Name:

Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16588]

Catalog Number:

ab178846

Clone Number:

The primary goal of our study is to investigate inflammatory responses in neurodegenerative diseases. This experiment was sought to evaluate microglial activation in a large animal model. This antibody provided specific and robust staining for optic nerve microglia.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Feline optic nerve tissues

Primary Incubation

Diluted at 1:2000, overnight at 4°C

Blocking Agent

10% normal donkey serum + 0.5% triton X + 0.1M PBS

Secondary Incubation

Alexa 568 conjugated anti-rabbit IgG 1:500, 1 hr at RT

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

Fluorescence

Results Summary

The IBA1 antibody stains microglia in feline optic nerve tissues without background. As this antibody is a rabbit monoclonal antibody, the specificity is better than that of polyclonal antibodies.
