Immunohistochemistry (IHC)/Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is the localization of antigens by the use of antigens in tissue sections/cells by the use of labeled antibodies as specific reagents through antigen-antibody interactions that are visualized by a marker such as fluorescent dye, enzyme, radioactive element or colloidal gold. Several IHC techniques are commonly used: labeled biotin secondary antibody streptavidin-peroxidase, HRP anti-HRP, ABC, catalyzed signal amplification, polymer system (one or two steps) and others, to detect antigens on tissue and cells. This Polymer technology shown to provide increased sensitivity and detection. IBSC One-Step rabbit anti-Goat IgG (H+L); biotin/avidin free system stains membranes, cytoplasmic and nuclear antigens. It provides the user with a rapid and easy to use IHC detection system.

IHC/ICC procedure for frozen, paraffin sections and cell smears:
- Deparafinize and hydrate tissue sections through xylene or other clearing agents and graded alcohols.(For frozen sections or cell smears; use unfixed, acetone fixed or appropriate fixative for the antigen in question; for cell smears it may be necessary to permealize the cell by detergent, please refer to antibody protocol).
- Wash 2-3 with distilled or deionized water.
- Incubate sections/cell smear with Endoblocker (#1) for 5-10 minutes at room temperature (RT). Wash with distilled water 3X. Note: If antigen retriever (Trypsin AR-6541, Pronase AR-6542, Pepsin AR-6543, Citrate buffer AR-6544, Buffer w EDTA pH 8.5 AR-6545, Tris buffer pH 10 AR-6546) is required it can be applied at this step. Please refer to data sheet for the primary antibody.
- Wash slide with PBS or Tris saline buffer (with 0.02-0.05% nonionic detergent, Triton X100, Tween 20 or NP-40) or washing buffer (Immuno Automation buffer IBSC cat # AR-6561) 3X.
- Incubate sections/ cell smear in Protein blocking solution (#2), for 5-10 minutes at RT.
- Wash slide with PBS 1X, one can omit this washing.
- Solution (#2), for 5-10 minutes at RT.
- Incubate sections/cell smear with primary antibody (NOT SUPPLIED, ONLY BUFFER IS SUPPLIED FOR DILUTION) for 20-30 minutes at RT. (For more information, refer to instructions for primary antibody).The primary antibody dilution buffer supplied can also be used as a negative control.
- Wash slide with PBS 5-7X.
- Incubate with One-Step HRP polymer (#4) for 20-30 minutes at RT.
- Wash slide 5-7 times with buffer. Caution: Peroxidase reagents are destroyed by sodium azide and should be avoided in all buffers and regents.
- Wash slide with deionized or distilled for 2-3X.
- Incubate with AEC or DAB chromogen reagent (Not supplied).
- Wash 5-7X with buffer.
- Incubate with counterstain (Not supplied).
- Wash slide with tap water distilled water.
- Mount slide with appropriate mounting medium.
