Immunohistochemistry Protocol for Product Image
4% PFA perfused, formalin fume-fixed DRG tissues: Adult male rat was perfusion-fixed transcardially with 4% paraformaldehyde. The lumbar dorsal root ganglia were isolated and embedded into egg yolk medium, which was solidified in formalin fume. 30-µm-thick floated sections were prepared with a Vibratome. For pretreatment, the sections were thoroughly rinsed in 0.1M PBS (pH 7.6) and then incubated with a mixture of 0.5% H2O2 and 0.2% Triton X-100 for 30 min. Then, antigen retrieval was performed with 0.1M citrate buffer (pH=6.0) at 80°C for 30 min. (Please note that without this step, we did not obtain any labeling). Then, the TRPV1 signal was detected using a 1:5000 dilution of the primary antibody in 2% normal horse serum (NHS) in PBS (16 h; RT), followed by a 1:500 dilution of the biotinylated secondary antibody (2 h in 2% NHS/PBS; RT) and then, the ABC Elite reagent (Vector; 1:1000 in Tris buffer; pH 7.6). The signal was visualized with Ni-DAB chromogen. The immunostained sections were rinsed in Tris buffer, mounted on microscope slides, air dried, counter-stained with cresyl violet, dehydrated and coverslipped with DPX mounting medium.

Antibody not yet tested on paraffin-embedded sections. Other immunohistochemistry methods have not yet been tested but are expected to be reactive under correct conditions. Antigen recovery is suggested; the epitope is internal cytoplasmic and could be covered by internal proteins during fixation.
ICC: 4% formaldehyde fixed cells tested; requires permeabilization step as antigen epitope is intracellular. Suggested primary antibody concentration: 1-2 µg/mL.
