What Was The Protocol?Treatment of Materials • Cryo sections were cut into 6um pieces, and left overnight in -80°C

freezer.

Protocol • Primary antibody was incubated overnight at room temperature (23°C).• The sample was washed for 2 hours with multiple changes of PBS.• Amplification occurred through NOVOLINK Leica microsystems, then

the primary antibody was incubated for 1 hour.• The sample was then washed again for 1 hour with at least 3 changes of

PBS.• The secondary antibody was incubated for 30 minutes and then

washed for 2 hours using PBS with multiple changes.• The sample was then stained for 2 minutes using DAB.• The sample was counterstained for 3 seconds using Harris’

haematoxylin and then washed with tap water for 2 minutes until blueing.

• The sample was then dehydrated and mounted in entellan.

What were the results?

What did the customer think?Antibody Specificity:

Antibody RPPA Rating:

Testing results were provided independently by A. Roos at Newcastle University. They stated “Immunohistochemical investigation showed increased vinculin immunoreactivity (also at the sarcolemm) in degenerating myofibres which is in accordance with our proteomic in vitro data and with the predicted subcellular localization of this protein. Peculiar nuclear immunoreactivity for this actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein has also been described for an Abcam Vinculin antibody (Ab18058).”
