| Application | IHC-P - Quality testedICC - Verified |
| Recommended Usage | Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10.0 μg/mL is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.* Alexa Fluor® 488 has a maximum emission of 519 nm when it is excited at 488 nm.Alexa Fluor® and Pacific Blue™ are trademarks of Life Technologies Corporation.View full statement regarding label licenses |

| Application Notes | For use in immunohistochemistry (IHC) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, we recommend heat-induced antigen retrieval with either Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 or Citrate Buffer, 10X (Cat. No. 420902).For use in immunocytochemistry (ICC), we recommend fixation with Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801) followed by permeabilization with 0.5% Triton-X.Previously Covance catalog# MMS-466S. |
