Anti Acrolein (ACR) antibody
No. Title Content
1 Immunohistochemistry: 1) Paraffin sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated.
2) Sections were quenched for several minutes with 3% hydrogen peroxide, rinsed in PBS, pretreated for 30 min with 3% nonimmune animal serum in PBS.
3) Sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with a antibody at a dilution of 1 µg/mL.
4) Antibody binding was visualized by the avidin-biotin-immuno peroxidase complex method using the Vectastain ABC kit (Vector, Burlingame, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5) 3,3-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride was used as the chromogen.
6) Hematoxylin or Eosin was used as the counter stain.

Technical notes:
1) Sections from which the primary antibodies were omitted served as negative reaction controls.
2) For frozen materials, samples were fixed in 10% formalin, immersed in 30% sucrose in PBS, embedded at OCT (Sakura, Tokyo, Japan), and stored at -80°C.
3) For paraffin embedded materials, samples were fixed in 10% formalin, dehydrated, embedded in paraffin, and stored at room temperature.
4) Microwave treatment improves the target staining, whereas it declines non-specific background.
5) Protease K treatment declines the target staining.

2 Fix conditions: To fix fresh tissue within 5mm thick, 20% formalin for 24 to 48 hours is recommended.
3 EDTA for H2O2 treatment. If Milli-Q water is used, EDTA is not needed. But if EDTA affect your staining results, add 1% EDTA for hydrogen peroxide solution.
4 Blocking of internal avidin. Avidin blocking reagent is available from Vector Laboratories.
5 Secondary antibody: The dilution factor may be different depending on the kit used in your laboratory. For example, dilute x5000 to x10000 rabbit anti-mouse IgG or goat anti-mouse IgG, and incuvate for 2hours at room temperature. Please refer to manufacturer's instructions.
6 The thickness of samples. We recoomend to prepare at 3 to 7 µm thick.
7 Esterified 7-ketocholesteol: Rectivity to esterified 7-KC has not been tested, because esterified 7-KC is highly hydrophobic.
