Anti-TMPRSS2 antibody [EPR3862] images ab109131 staining TMPRSS2 in the HT-29 cell line by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/150). ab150077(1/500) an Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence Anti-TMPRSS2 antibody [EPR3862] (ab109131) 2 ab109131 staining TMPRSS2 in Human prostrate adenocarcinoma tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed and paraffinembedded, antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in Tris/EDTA buffer pH9. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/1000). An undiluted HRP-conjugated mouse anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Tissue counterstained Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed with Hematoxylin. PBS was used in the paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-TMPRSS2 negative control rather than the Primary antibody [EPR3862] (ab109131) antibody.
