Primary rat antimouse f4 80 antibody

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States

The Primary rat antimouse F4/80 antibody is a laboratory tool used for the identification and isolation of mouse F4/80-positive cells, which are often macrophages. The antibody recognizes the F4/80 cell surface antigen expressed on various mouse myeloid cell types.

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections (pancreatic body and tail; female and male mice combined) were dewaxed with xylene and rehydrated in an ethanol series. Antigen retrieval was performed in AR9 buffer (Akoya Biosciences, Menlo Park, CA), and sections were then immersed in blocking/diluent buffer (PerkinElmer, Richmond, CA). For immunohistochemistry, sections were incubated overnight with primary rat antimouse F4/80 antibody (#MCA497B; Bio-Rad) diluted 1:200 in blocking/diluent buffer. After washing, the Labelled Polymer-Dako REAL EnVision HRP kit (Agilent Dako, Santa Clara, CA) was then used to visualize antigen-antibody complexes.
For immunofluorescence, sections were incubated overnight with rat antimouse F4/80 (#MCA497B; Bio-Rad), rabbit antimouse pSTAT (Tyr701) (#44-376; Thermo Fisher Scientific), and rabbit antimouse Ym1 (#60130; STEMCELL Technologies, Cambridge, MA) antibodies (1:200 dilution in blocking buffer). Slides were then counterstained with multiplexing fluorescence kits from PerkinElmer: Opal 520 Reagent Pack, FITC, Opal 570 Reagent Pack, TRITC, and Opal 650 Reagent Pack, CY5, according to manufacturer’s instructions. 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole was used for nuclear counterstain. Images were taken with a Nikon Eclipse 90i.

Paraffin‐embedded tissue sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated and pretreated with sodium citrate (0.05%) to unmask the antigen, followed by incubation with H2O2 (0.3%) for 25 min at room temperature in dark conditions, to block endogenous peroxidase activity, and with 2% BSA for 20 min at room temperature, to avoid nonspecific binding of the primary antibody. Thereafter, the liver sections were incubated 1 h at room temperature with a primary rat anti‐mouse F4/80 antibody (dilution 1:100; Bio‐Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) followed by incubation for 15 min at room temperature with a biotinylated rabbit anti‐rat IgG secondary antibody (Abcam) and 30 min with HRP goat anti‐rabbit IgG secondary antibody (dilution 1:200; Abcam). For α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), sections were incubated with primary rabbit anti‐mouse α‐SMA antibody (dilution 1:250; Abcam) for 1 h with HRP goat anti‐rabbit IgG secondary antibody (dilution 1:200; Abcam) for 30 min. The signal was detected by the Bond Polymer Refine Detection system (Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany). The sections were visualized at 200×, and positive staining for F4/80 and α‐SMA was quantified by histomorphometry. The results are expressed as a percentage of the F4/80‐positive or α‐SMA‐positive area.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
