Nucleoli Marker Antibody / Human Nucleolar Antigen [clone NM95] (V2358)

Description

This mAb is part of a panel of reagents which recognizes subcellular organelles or compartments of human cells. These markers may be useful in identification of these organelles in cells, tissues, and biochemical preparations. Clone NM95 antibody recognizes an antigenic marker associated with the nucleoli in human cells. The antibody can be used to stain the nucleoli in cell or tissue preparations and can be used as a marker in subcellular fractions. It produces a speckled pattern in the nuclei of cells of normal and malignant cells. The nucleoli marker antibody can be used with paraformaldehyde fixed frozen tissue or cell preparations and formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

Application Notes

The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Nucleoli marker antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Immunogen

Nuclei of myeloid leukemia biopsy cells were used as the immunogen.

Storage

Store the Nucleoli Marker antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
