Immuocytochemistry (ICC) Analysis on Binding of MAb1738 with GC Cells
Fifty microliters of 1×106 GC cells was loaded into each cytospin chamber hole and were spun onto slides, followed by fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde/PBS solution, dehydration with 70% ethanol and then air drying. The slides were rehydrated in PBST in a flat position for 5 minutes and then incubated in 10% goat serum/PBS solution. The slides were incubated with MAb1738 or an irrelevant mAb (isotype control) for 1 hour at RT or overnight at 4° C., and then washed twice with PBST. The slides were then incubated with HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG Fc-HRP (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) at 1:500 dilution for 30 minutes. Detection of mAb staining on cancer cells was performed with 0.125% aminoethylcarbazole chromogenic substrate for 5-10 minutes at RT, and the mAb stained cytospin slides were counterstained with Gill's hematoxylin (Dako, Carpinteria, Calif., USA).
