    ab668 (2 µg/ml) staining cytokeratin 18 in human skin tissue using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is strong cytoplasmic staining of sweat coils.
    Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer citrate pH 6.1 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were immersed in 3% H2O2/methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX.

    Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.

Question


Thank you for your reply! I know Ab668 is a popular one, but most mouse
antibodies have background when stain on mouse tissue.
The Ab668 also has high background in our mouse olfactory epithelium
tissue. Please check the attachment file. That's why I want to order a
rabbit anti-ck18.
Our protocol as follows:
1. olfactory epithelium tissue fixed in 4%PFA at 4C overnight
wash and equilibrated in sucrose/PBS, embeded in OCT.
2. Cryosections were prepared at 10 um. 4%PFA postfixed for 5min.
3. Washed in PBS and blocked in 10% Normal Goat serum or Donkey serum plus
1%BSA. 4C overnight.
4. Ms-antiCK18(Ab668) 1:100 in blocking buffer 4C 48 hours
5. Washed in PBS 4x and incubated with Gt-anti Ms Alex fluo 546 Dilution
1000, incubated 1.5hour at Room temperature. Then wash in PBS 4X.
According to the publications, CK18 stain the cells on the apical layer in
Olfactory epithelium. But Ab668 stained everywhere.

Answer

Hello! Please find below our mouse on mouse staining tips. This may help you to improve your results. Additionally I would recommend you reduce the primary incubation to overnight, and incubate the antibodies in a solution of TBS plus 1% BSA.

We cannot vouch for the Millipore version of the clone but we have tested ab32118 and found that it does not react in mouse, and have placed this information on our datasheet to inform our customers.



Tips for eliminating background when staining mouse tissue with a mouse monoclonal



View a pdf version of this page
Staining of mouse tissue using mouse antibody is a complicated process as high levels of background are often observed. It is notoriously difficult to eliminate this background.
Much of the background is caused by secondary antibody binding to endogenous mouse IgG in the tissue being stained, and to Fc receptors on B cells, plasma cells and macrophages.
Abcam is unable to guarantee monoclonal mouse antibodies on mouse tissue (unless stated on the datasheet). However, there are a few tips to try and reduce this background should mouse on mouse staining be necessary:

1. Blocking of endogenous IgG



Prepare tissue sections as usual.
At the usual blocking step, block with serum (from same species as the secondary antibody) for 30 min at room temperature.
Wash 3 X 2 min with PBS Tween 20.
Incubate sections with an unconjugated AffiniPure Fab fragment Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) for 1 hr at room temperature, or overnight 4°C . Try this blocking antibody at 0.1 mg/ml although the optimal concentration will need to be assessed by the end user.Proceed with antibody staining.




2. Blocking endogenous Fc receptors
There are kits available for this which use F(ab) monomeric secondary antibodies.

Other tips that can be used to decrease general background:


Incubate sections with 1% Triton (in PBS) at room temperature for 30 min to ‘clean’ the tissue.
Use TBS –Tween 20 as a washing buffer. This often gives less background than using PBS-Tween 20.

Question

1. The concentration of sheep serum used is 1:1000, diluted in PBS+1% TritonX. We block at room temperature for 90 minutes.

2. Antigen retrieval was performed at 96C for 25 minutes. We haven’t performed a time series, we just went off several methods which recommended 25 minutes for antigen retrieval. There was no difference between the two pHs. The pH 10 buffer we used was in fact a Tris based buffer, not a citrate based buffer.

3. We haven’t tested the secondary antibody with known primary antibodies which work as yet, as our lab has limited primary antibodies raised in mouse. We do however have a goat-anti-mouse fluorescent antibody which does work, and we will be trying this in the near future.



Thanks,

Answer

Thank you for your reply.


I am sorry to hear that you have difficulties getting satisfactory results form this antibody.

The details you have kindly provided will enable us to investigate this case for you and this is also helpful in our records for monitoring of quality.

Reviewing this case, I would like to offer some suggestions to help optimize the results from ab668.

1.) I suggest to decrease the amount of Triton X used in the buffers. 0.025% Triton X-100 is used in standard protocols. Triton X is a quite harsh detergent.

2.) Secondary anti pan IgG antibodies sometimes bind some isotypes better than others. I therefore suggest to try a different secondary antibody and use an IgG1 specific antibody.

Please let me know how you are getting on.

Question

Hello, I am attempting to use Ab668 - Cytokeratin 18 on rat liver sections, which were fixed in formalin for 24 hours and paraffin processed. After several troubleshoots, we are unable to get the antibody to work, even at 1:100. Primary antibody conditions are always diluted in PBS + 1% triton, overnight at 4C. We block in sheep serum (1:1000, diluted in PBS + 1% triton), have tried a pH 6 citrate buffer and pH 10 sodium citrate buffer, both at 96C for antigen retrieval, have used standard DAB detection (DAKO) and amplification via the Vector ABC kit. Secondary antibody used is a goat-anti-mouse HRP, at 1:1000, diluted in PBS for 1hour at room temp. All washes are conducted with PBS and we always have a no-primary antibody negative control. We also always block for biotin via 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in PBS, for 15 mins at room temp. This step has always been conducted before the secondary antibody incubation. Every time, there is no staining with this antibody, and sections incubated with primary antibody look like the no primary negative control. All signs point to the primary antibody not working. Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

I am sorry to hear that this antibody is not providing satisfactory results.

The details provided will enable us to investigate this case and will provide us with vital information for monitoring product quality.

Having reviewed this case, I would appreciate if you can confirm some further details:

1. What is the sheep serum's concentration and for how long do you block?

2.How long wasthe retrieval? Did you perform a time series? Do you see any difference between the two pHs?

3. Do you know if the secondary antibody is working?

I thank you for your cooperation.

Question

Hi,

For Cytokeratin 18 antibody [C-04] (ab668), does it specifically reacts with human origin epithelial cells not murine origin cells ?

Thanks

Answer

Thnak you for your inquiry.

I have to confirm that ab668 recognizes both human and mouse Cytokeratin 18 as stated on the datasheet.

If you are looking for an antibody that only binds to human Cytokeratin 18, I cannot recommend ab668.

I can recommend to following antibodies that react with human Cytokeratin 18, but do not react with mouse:

ab133302

https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=133302 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=133302).

ab133272

https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=133272 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=133272).

ab133263

https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=133263 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=133263).

I hope this information is helpful and wish you good luck with your research.
