Immuno staining on Paraffin section

Sunday, March 30, 2008

Here I am sending a procedure that I used to performed Immuno staining....Hopefully, it help you...


Indirect immuno-incubation of paraffin sections

1. Cut 5-7 µm sections of paraffin embedded tissue and put them on Menzel Superfrost

slides.

2. Dry overnight at 37°C .

3. Deparaffinization; xylene 2x2 min

alcohol 100% 2x1 min

alcohol 90% 2x1 min

alcohol 80% 1 min

alcohol 70% 1 min

alcohol 50% 1 min

aqua dest 1 min

4. Microwave treatment in 0.01M sodiumcitrate (6 ml NaCi 1M in 600 ml aqua dest);

7 min. at 850 Watt and 2 times 3 min. at 850 Watt. (maximum of 12 slides.)

5. Cool down in citrate solution for at least 30 min.

6. Rinse in PBS- (PBS 1x) for 2 min.

7. Block for endogenous peroxidase during 30 min. at RT. in PBS/H2O2/azide

100 ml PBS 1x (0.1M PBS)

2 ml H2O2 30%

1 ml sodiumazide 12.5% (toxic!!)

8. Rinse in PBS- for 2 min.

9. Rinse in PBS+ (PBS 1x/ 0.5% protifar/ 0.15% glycine), 2 times 2 min.

1L PBS, 5g protifar and 1,5g glycine.

10. Incubation with the primary antibody for 90 min. at RT, (or overnight at 4C). (100µl/slide)

11. Rinse in PBS+ 3 times 5 min.

12. Incubation with the peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody for 60 min. at RT.

13. Rinse in PBS+ 3 times 5 min.

14. Rinse in PBS- for 2 min.

15. Incubation with DAB-substrate (DAKO Liquid DAB substrate-chromogen system)

Use 20µl DAB solution in 1 ml Dako buffer, 100µl/slide during 4-8 min.

! Wear gloves; DAB is carcinogenic!

16. Remove DAB-solution by placing the slides in aqua dest.

17. Refresh aqua dest immediately.

18. Counterstain with haematoxylin for 5 min.

19. Rinse in tapwater for 10 min.

20. Dehydration; alcohol 96% 1 min.

alcohol 100% 2x1min.

xylene 2x2min.

21. Mount with Entellan.

22. Dry overnight at 37°C.

! Note that all dilutions are made in PBS +
