Anti-Claudin 5 antibody images ab15106 staining Claudin 5 in Mouse lung tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffinembedded sections). Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 1.5% serum for 1 hour at 37°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a acetic acid. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200 in blocking buffer) for 18 Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Claudin 5 antibody (ab15106) hours at 4°C. A Biotin-conjugated Goat antirabbit IgG polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody. Image is courtesy of an anonymous AbReview ICC/IF image of ab15106 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab15106, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence- ab96899, DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG Claudin 5 antibody(ab15106) (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM. 2 ab15106 staining Claudin 5 in human lung by Immunohistochemistry (FFPE-sections). Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Claudin 5 antibody (ab15106) ab15106 staining Claudin 5 in the Human HBMEC cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 1% Triton in PBS and blocked with 10% serum for 30 minutes at 22°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200) for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Goat antirabbit polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody.
