BM1 (Myeloid Marker) Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry
Description: NCL-BM1 is reactive with a 183kD myeloid-specific DNA-binding protein. Markers of myeloid cells are useful in the identification of different levels of cellular differentiation. NCL-BM1 and NCL-BM2 react with early precursor and mature forms of human myeloid cells.
Primary Antibody
|
Name: BM1 (Myeloid Marker) Antibody |
|
Clone: BM-1, Mouse Anti-Human |
|
Supplier: Novocastra Labs |
|
Catalog Number: NCL-BM1 |
|
Dilution: 1:20 using IHC-TekTM Antibody Diluent (Cat# IW-1000 or IW-1001) to reduce background and unspecific staining and serum blocking step is NOT needed. |
|
Incubation Time/Temp: 60min/room temperature |
Antigen Retrieval
| Device: Antigen retrieval is not needed |
| Buffer/pH value: N/A |
| Heat/Cool Temperature: N/A |
| Heat/Cool Time: N/A |
Detection Methods
| Standard Method: ABC Method or LSAB Method |
| Enhanced Method: Polymeric Methods |
Chromogen Substrate
| Reagent: DAB |
| Incubation Time/Temperature: 1-3 minutes/room temperature |
Counterstain
| Reagent: Mayer's Hematoxylin |
| Staining Time: 30 seconds |
Results:
| Staining Pattern: Cytoplasmic and nuclear |
| Images: Search image |
Additional Information:
| Tissue Type: Granulocytic sarcoma |
| Fixation: Formalin-fixed paraffin sections, or acetone fixed frozen sections |
| Positive Control: Granulocytic sarcoma |
| Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control, absorption control |
| Blocking: 2-5% normal serum to reduce unspecific background staining; 0.5-3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity; avidin/biotin to block endogenous biotin activity if necessary |
Notes:
There is no need to perform antigen retrieval on acetone fixed frozen sections |
