That is, to detect with a secondary antibody, for instance, or an amplification technique, as well as to determine what controls to use.
Step three of the five steps in making publishable images is to detect the label.

Learn how to approach optimization.Īntibody labeling, fixed-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, immunofluorescence (IF), primary antibodies, primary antibody protocolģ.1 Secondary antibody choice–Fixed cell imaging: 5 steps for publication-quality images There are many protocols available, and it is important to understand a "one size fits all" approach gives inferior results, as every antibody is slightly different. The antibody source, the use of direct versus labeled antibodies as well as the validation for specific applications is discussed.Īntibody labeling, fixed-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, immunofluorescence (IF), primary antibodiesĢ.2 Primary antibody protocol optimization–Fixed cell imaging: 5 steps for publication-quality imagesĮvery primary antibody must be optimized separately. Overcoming autofluorescence means greater sensitivity.Īutofluorescence, fixed-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, immunofluorescence (IF), tissue autofluorescenceĢ.1 Primary antibody choice–Fixed cell imaging: 5 steps for publication-quality imagesĪfter preparation, the second step to publishable images is to label the sample, usually involving primary antibodies to your specific targets of interest. Cells and tissue can have a certain degree of autofluorescence that can confuse the specific signal, and lower the signal-to-background. The last step in cell preparation is autofluorescence. Dye charge blocking means less non-specific binding.ĭye charge blocking, fixed-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, immunofluorescence (IF), nonspecific binding, protein blockingġ.5 Autofluorescence–Fixed cell imaging: 5 steps for publication-quality images Protein blocking equals specific antibody binding. The next step after permeabilization is blocking, and there are a number of blocking techniques. The next step is the permeabilization of the cells which is the key to opening intracellular compartments.Ĭell permeabilization, fixed-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, immunofluorescence (IF)ġ.4 Blocking–Fixed cell imaging: 5 steps for publication-quality images
