Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. Target Function Troponin is the central regulatory protein of striated muscle contraction. Tn consists of three components: Tn-I which is the inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase, Tn-T which contains the binding site for tropomyosin and Tn-C. The binding of calcium to Tn-C abolishes the inhibitory action of Tn on actin filaments. Involvement in disease Defects in TNNC1 are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1Z (CMD1Z) [MIM:611879]. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death. Defects in TNNC1 are the cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 13 (CMH13) [MIM:613243]. A hereditary heart disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death. Sequence similarities Belongs to the troponin C family. Contains 4 EF-hand domains. Anti-Cardiac Troponin C antibody [12G3] images ab10245 staining Cardiac Troponin C in Human sternal bone marrow derived MSCs induced to cardio by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with Triton X-100 and blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at 37°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/250 in PBS + 1% Goat serum) for 18 hours at Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Goat Anti-Cardiac Troponin C antibody [12G3] anti-mouse IgG polyclonal (1/300) was used (ab10245) as the secondary antibody.

Left panel: with primary antibody at 1 ug/ml. Right panel: isotype control. Sections were stained using an automated Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room paraffin-embedded sections)-cardiac Troponin C temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antibody [12G3](ab10245) antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 AR buffers citrate pH 6.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
