    ab14672 (4µg/ml) staining PDE5A/PDE5 in human oesophagus using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is staining of the cytoplasm and nuclei in stratified squamous epithelium cells.
    Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in 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 Haematoxylin 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.

The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab14672, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h.

Dear Nadeem



We have an answer to your inquiry:




Thank you for taking the time to complete our questionnaire and contact us. I am sorry to hear you have had difficulty obtaining satisfactory results from 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. I would like to reassure you that these antibodiesare tested and covered by our 6 month guarantee forWB. All the antibodies, except for ab81505Arg2 antibody,are guaranteed for rat samples.



Reviewing this case, I would like to offer some suggestions to help optimize the results. I would also appreciate if you can confirm some further details:



1. Please confirm the Abcam order reference number and date of purchase for each of these antibodies.



2. Could you confirm the same secondary antibody is being used for allof these antibodies? Is the current vial of secondary antibody working well with any other primary antibodies? Please provide further details of the secondary (supplier and catalog number).



3. I can recommend to try somefresh samples.



4. I can suggest to include a loading control such as GAPDH in order to assess the quality of the sample and the transfer to the membrane.



5. I can recommend to include some positive controls if they have not already been tried. Reviewing the information on the datasheets, anddetails fromthe SwissProt/Uniprot protein database links, I can suggest for example:



PDE5A (ab 14672)

Rat lung homogenate should already be a suitable control



cGK1 (ab 60532)

Epithelial cells of thymus, dendritic cells of lymph node, and in the basal cell layer of epithelia such as epidermis, nasopharynx, respiratory tract, salivary gland, and esophagus express cGK1,



Sphk1 (ab 71700)

I am sorry I am not able to confirm what expression level isexpected in lung? Do you have any further information? I can suggest adult liver, kidney, heartor skeletal muscle would be a suitable control.



4. Arg2 (ab 81505)

I am sorry I am not able to confirm whatexpression level is expected in the lung? Do you have any further information? This protein is expressed most strongly in kidney and prostate,

I can recommend to try a humansample positive control as human samlples are tested and covered by the guarantee. Rat samples arepredicted only due to high sequence alignment, I am sorry they have not been tested.



In the event that a product is not functioning in the applications cited on the product data sheet (and the problem has been reported within 6 months of purchase), we will be pleased to provide a credit note, free of charge replacement or refund.



I hope this information is helpful, thank you for your cooperation. Should the suggestions not improve the results, please do not hesitate to contact me again with the further requested details.





Help us improve our service.

Your original inquiry to Abcam:





Dear Technical Team,







Hope this e-mail finds you well!








Kindly look into the belowmail from one this customer & advise us on it, enabling us to update him accordingly.







Looking forward towards your valued response on it.







With Best Regards,










Dear Sir,







We procured the following antibodies from you via supply order : 201/DIPAS

1. PDE5A (ab 14672)

2. cGK1 (ab 60532)

3. Sphk1 (ab 71700)

4. Arg2 (ab 81505)



we have been testing these antibodies for the past 3 months and their functionality is now being doubted as we have loaded increasing

amounts of protein sample during western blot experiments (starting with 30ug - till 50 ug) and tried extended primary incubations

(3hr/5hr/overnight) at the recommended antibody concentrations (1:1000-1:500), but there seems to be no binding of the primary

antibody to the blots as observed on developing through ECL detection system (SIGMA).This hasseriouslyaffectedprogressof our research project.





kindly take notice of the problem and if possible try to replace the above, as the above purchases are still in the warranty period.







Enclosed please find the required information for further action.

Question

Customer would like to purchase 2 Abcam antibodies, ab2786 and ab14672, to use in human parrafin tissues. However, her samples are from necropsy and she is concerned about the fixation time and the antibody binding capacity. Is there anything we could do to help her in this issue? Or the antibodies will not react at all with tissues from necropsy? I look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards,

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. With necrotic tissue, it is very likely that the proteins are already being broken down and degraded by the enzymes that are already present. I am sorry it would be very difficult to say and guarantee how much Endothelin 1 or PDE5A would still be in the sample for detection by the antibody. If the proteins are released from the cell during necrosis, the localization of the protein may also be affected.  If the tissue is already necrotic before fixation, then there are no fixation methods that would specifically help in this case. I can suggest to try the usual fixation methods. I can suggest it would be important to consider including positive control tissue. For example: PDE5A antibody (ab14672) has been used successfully in rat human heart tissue. We do have the following slides available: ab4332  Heart (human): aortic valve normal tissue slides Applications: IHC-P, ISH   Endothelin 1 antibody (ab2786) has been used successfully in human bowel. We do have the following slides available: ab4327 Colon (human) normal tissue slides Applications: IHC-P, ISH    I hope this information will be helpful to you.  If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
